© 2018 Spireon, Inc.3 / 12 Introduction The JG-LSis a self-contained LTE CAT1/3G wireless tracking device targeting trailers. The device combines GPS location with LTE /WCDMA connectivity. It is primarily a location reporting device that responds to requests (user, server) and events generated by timers, geofences, sensors, etc. Data reports consist of a single record that contains all location data and system status. The device comes pre-configured and ready to use from the factory. The JG-LS appears to a user or a server application as a single endpoint device. It can be queried, updated and configured either through a serial connection, or an over the air LTE or WCDMA IP connection, or through SMS messaging. The JG-L Spresents itself over these connections as an enhanced cellular modem with attached functional elements. These elements include:  GPS location engine  2 General Purpose Bidirectional I/O (GPIO) pins  1 Relay Output  1 Tamper  1 1-Wire Bus Interface  3.3V Power out for Peripheral Sensors  Serial UART port  Input voltages and Battery Voltage monitor  Timers  Watchdog lockup protection  Motion detection  Power Management Access to these elements and general-purpose interfaces is done through an extended AT command set. Configuration parameters are stored to flash memory and are automatically used on the next power up event. For more details, please reference the AT Command document. This device is designed based on the Quectel EC21-A (4G LTE CAT 1/3G fallback,) baseband module. Antennas for cellular and GPS are internal to the device.

The features supported include the following. GPS GPS location functionality is provided by the device GPS receiver. NMEA GPS records can be extracted in real time from the unit via the UART connection using special debug commands that are outside the scope of this document. GPIO Two general purpose GPIO and two additional multiplexed IO’s are presented to the external environment on the main connector. They are capable of providing system interrupts to generate a report or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 3.3V logic level and are 16V tolerant. The multiplexed IO’s are typically configured as Ignition, Relay and Tamper. LED’s Three LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and operation. The status LEDs are color coded and directly convey the status of the cellular and GPS subsystems, as well as the power input; described in the table below. Their valid operation also indicates operational status and power. LED Function Status Red GPS On: GPS satellites acquired and locked Flash Slow: GPS satellite search is in progress Off: GPS is turned off
© 2018 Spireon, Inc.6 / 12 Green Cellular Connection On: Indicates cellulardata connection is available Flash Slow: cellular subsystem initialized but no connection Flash Fast: cellular initialization in process Off: Cellular sub-system is off Orange Battery charging On: Indicates external power and battery is fully charged Flash: Indicates external power and battery is charging Off: Indicates running from battery. Blinks shortly every 30sec. The JG-LS provides user control allowing the LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified. This feature reduces power and further conceals the JG-LS Tracker from untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation. Accelerometer The accelerometer is used for motion start detection to wake the unit up from a sleep mode and driving behavior monitoring. UART A UART port is provided for AT command and data interaction. The UART can also serve to attach other accessories, such as cargo sensor. 1-Wire A 1-Wire interface is supported to attach external sensors, such as temperature sensor, etc. Relay Driver A 500mA sink capable output pin is provided. This pin is meant to drive a relay coil indented to operate a door opening device. Ignition Monitor One of the GPIO’s can be wired to vehicle ignition to monitor and trigger event upon ignition start and stop. Power Out The JG-L provides a power out option at 3.3V and up to 1A to enable powering up external devices. The power out is turned off by default and is controlled by software. Tamper Tamper detection pin is available on the external connector. The Tamper pin can trigger an alert when disconnected from ground. Solar Panel
© 2018 Spireon, Inc.7 / 12 The JG-LS includes an integrated solar panel that constantly charges the battery when exposed to light. Power Monitor The internal power monitor circuitry allows to measure the voltage on all possible power sources: Main, Auxiliary, Battery, Solar. Timers Timers resident on the baseband chip generate periodic interrupts for power down, wakeup, report generation and other timer related functions.

© 2018 Spireon, Inc.8 / 12 Startup Banner Supported Remote Update The JG-LSsupports OTA field upgrades of the JG-LSresident application. An over the air TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over a UDP/IP connection. A replacement file is then transferred from a server to the JG-LSand that file replaces the previous application image. Power Modes The JG-LS device supports several power modes that are set by AT commands. In full power mode the GPS is active and the cellular subsystem will maintain a persistent cellular connection whenever service is available. IP connection is maintained according to the configuration of the device. The device can be put in a sleep mode whenever it runs on an internal battery, if the external battery is low or if the device is not moving. In low power mode the GPS is not running and the LED’s are off. The device would return to full power whenever an event occurs that triggers a report. Those events include: • GPIO change • Battery threshold • Heartbeat • Power-up • Accelerometer • Tamper Any hardware or software reset will return the device to full power mode. Report The JG-LS captures data and forms a report record with that data. A report is a data structure containing all of the sensory and other typically useful data on the device. Reports are generated in response to specified events, such as periodic timeout, speed threshold, geo-fence crossing, etc., or in response to a Report Now command. Report Queuing If a report trigger occurs while UDP connection is unavailable, it will be queued until connection becomes available and transmitted at such time. The only way report(s) can be lost is if too many reports are queued and the report-queue is overflowing. In such case the earliest report(s) will be discarded. The size of the queue can be configured via the Report Queue command. Ack’ed Mode UDP is not a 100% reliable connection and occasional reports or command/responses may be lost. Since all commands have responses, the server can repeat any command to which there is no response. In order to assure reliable
© 2018 Spireon, Inc.9 / 12 reception of reports, the device can be configured either in Normal or Ack’ed mode to send the reports. In the Normal mode the reports are simply sent “as is” with no acknowledgment from the server. In the Ack’ed mode every report sent is expected to be acknowledged by the server by sending back an ACK message back. If acknowledgement is not received within the specified timeout, the report is re-sent. If the report is not acknowledged after the specified number of attempts, it is queued. If acknowledgement is received after the report is queued (i.e. past timeout of the last attempt), it is ignored. Report is not considered “complete” until its acknowledgement is received. Thus, if report X is sent and report X+1 is triggered while waiting for acknowledgement of X, report X+1 will be queued until such acknowledgement is received and only then sent. The JG-LS will attempt to re-send queued report(s) every time a new report is triggered. If there is more than one report queued, the reports will attempt to be sent in the order of triggering and only once the report is acknowledged, the next report is attempted. This assures that reports are sent and received in order. Ack’ed mode assures that all reports are received, but adds overhead in time and data. Report that is not acknowledged is sent again and eventually will be queued and sent again. The number and frequency of re-tries is configurable via the Report Acknowledgement command. Event Report Format Reports are encoded as binary hex. Reset There are a number of resets available on the device. Soft reset only restarts the baseband on the device. Hard reset is caused by resetting the whole baseband module via a reset pin. There is also an option to reset the cellular and GPS sub-systemsonly. Context Preservation When a self-initiated reset is performed due to Network Watchdog or by the Reset command (modes 0,1), the context of the system is being preserved and is restored after the reset. The context includes all the periodic timers, the report queue, the odometer, etc. This allows to reset the unit as a troubleshooting or preventive measure without losing reports that are already in the queue or are pending on running timers. Note that the reset process may cause 1-2min of inaccuracy in the timers and should not be considered as very precise. Startup Banner After a reset a startup banner is printed through the UART only.
