1 Introduction
MS01 is a PC based tracking software which is suitable for small or medium enterprises and end users and supports up to 500
trackers.
With MS01, you can track your vehicles, children, pets and valuable assets anytime on your own computer.
2 Installation
MS01 is easy to install if you follow all the instructions in this document. Please read the document carefully before you get started.
If you have a fix internet public IP address, it will be much easier for your installation and running.
This document should get you through the installation quickly, but please feel free to contact us if you have any queries or
questions.
Note: If you have a PC server with fix internet public IP address, please go to 2.4 directly.
If you are using router for internet connection, you need to specify a reserved IP address for your PC on the LAN.
Click ‘Add New’ and enter the MAC Address and Reserved IP Address and make Status ‘Enabled’. Click ‘Save’ when finished.

3.2.3 Communication
Listening Port: A port for your PC to receive GPRS data and in the range of [1, 65536]. Port above 4000 is preferred as those below

If no data is receive, suggest you use another port number and do the setting accordingly in your router.
Stop/Start: After the Port Number is entered, click ‘Stop’ and then click ‘Start’ to activate this setting.
Intranet IP: It is the IP specified to your PC in the router of the LAN.
Internet IP: Internet Public IP. For internet connection via router, if the IP that assigned to your router is a fixed IP, then you can use
this IP directly. If it is a temporary internet IP and changes occasionally, then we suggest you use DynDNS as stated in #2.3 for
continuous connection.
Get IP: Click Get IP to get the updated and show latest IP from your router.
Open listening port automatically when software opens: Check this box. If it is unchecked, MS01 will not receive data
automatically when it opens.
Save: Click it to save all your settings.
COM Communication Setting is used for RT200 (SMS modem) for tracking and tracker configuration via SMS.
COM: the COM port number used for RT200 after connection.
Open: Open the COM port for RT200. It is suggested that one specified USB port is appointed for RT200 to avoid frequent changes
of COM port number.

3.2.4 IO Customized
Alarm Define
This function is for defining the status change of IO which means inputs and outputs. When the status of IO changes, the alarm will
be sent to MS01 via GPRS.
For example, we can define “SOS/Input 1 Active” as “SOS for Help”. When SOS button is pressed, the SOS alarm will be sent to
MS01.
Input 4 can be connected to ACC. When the input is activated, it means “Engine On.” and vice versa.
When the above alarm is triggered, its status will be display on the map.
Status Define
This function is for defining the status of input/output ports. This information will be included in the data package sent to the server.
For example, Input 5 can be used to detect the status of the car door. We can define the name as Car Door Status, and the status as
‘On’ when it is active and ‘Off’ when inactive.
