SecurityThis chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the FOX4-4G devices.
Please read this chapter carefully before using your device.

3.1

General information

Your FOX4-4G devices utilize the GSM/GNSS standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio
frequency (RF) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio
communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European
community and elsewhere. Your FOX4-4G is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. They sendout and receive radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handlingyour calls, controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.
SIM cards are required to use the devices. The SIM cards can be acquired from specific providers.
Additional costs can result from the use of the SIM cards which are to be borne by the purchaser(client) of the devices. The seller does not cover the extra costs for the use of the devices. The
seller gives no recommendation for the use of specific SIM cards and is not liable for the fact thatthe devices are usable with all available SIM cards. The seller is also not liable for any other costs
incurred by the application of the customer in connection with this device.

3.2

Exposure to RF energy

There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using GSM modems.
Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF
technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM.
After existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance with all applicable safety
standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use.
If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can minimize exposure by limiting theduration of your calls and operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines in
below topics.

3.3

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always
obey them. Also, when using your FOX4-4G device while driving, please pay full attention todriving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require. When applications are prepared for mobile use, they should fulfil road safety instructionsof the current law.

3.4

Electronic devices

Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronicequipment.

3.5

Vehicle electronic equipment

Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronicequipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.

3.6

Medical electronic equipment

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids,etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Turn off your FOX4-4G devices in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.

FOX4 – 4G Hardware Manual13

3: Security

3.7

Aircraft

Turn off your FOX4-4G device before boarding any aircraft. Use them on the ground only withcrew permission. Do not use them in the air.
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your modems while theplane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations
prohibit using your modems whilst airborne.

3.8

Children

Do not allow children to play with your FOX4-4G devices. Children could hurt themselves orothers, damage the modems or make calls that increase your modem bills.

3.9

Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device off when in a blasting area or inareas posted: Turn off two-way radio. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to
set off explosives.

3.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn off your FOX4-4G devices when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It israre, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentiallyexplosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas suchas petrol stations, below decks on boat, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities etc., andareas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do nottransport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle whichcontains your modem or accessories.
Before using your modems in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane orbutane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of thecountry in which the vehicle is to be used.

3.11 Non-ionizing radiation
The FOX4-4G devices come with internal and external GSM/GNSS/Wi-Fi antennas. Therefore,care should be taken to install the devices/antennas in such a position that no part of the humanbody will normally rest within 20 cm of any part of the antennas for more than a few minutes
whilst the equipment is in use. It is also recommended not to use the devices close to medical
devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers.

FOX4-4G Application Interface

6.1

Power supply

The power supply for the FOX4-4G devices must be a single voltage source of V+IN = +10.8 V...
+32.0 V DC. The operating voltage (V+IN) must be applied permanently to the FOX4-4G devices
and provide sufficient current of up to 1.5 A (pulse).
The operating voltage (V+IN and GND) is protected against voltage spikes and reverse polarity, but
NOT protected against continuous overvoltage.
NOTE: Operating voltage range must never be exceeded; care must be taken to fulfill min/max
voltage requirements.

6.1.1

Power supply pins (1 and 2) on the 8-pin connector

One +IN pin on the main 8-pin port is dedicated to connecting the supply voltage, and the GND
pin for grounding.
Both +IN and GND pins serve to power the FOX4-4G devices. FOX4-4G has an automatic power
ON-function when external power is applied. The power supply for the FOX4-4G ranges from
V+IN=+10.8 V... +32.0 VDC allowing direct connection to vehicle power system.

Power saving

SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the modules of the FOX4-4G devices to a minimum and,thus, minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level. The FOX4-4G can be set into thesleep mode using the command $PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep[ChargeSleep,Doze] with one or moreparameters listed in the table below. Following SLEEP modes are supported by the FOX4-4G
devices:

Table 9: FOX4-4G Sleep Modes

IMPORTANT: The sleep and wake-up procedures are quite different depending on the selected
sleep mode. Please note that the power saving with Ring works properly only when the PIN
authentication has been done and the device is already registered in the GSM network. If you
attempt to activate power saving while the device is not registered in the GSM network, the SIM
card is not inserted or the PIN not correctly entered, the device responds with error ring shutdown
aborted due to bad GSM coverage and the power saving does not take place.

6.2

Determining the External Equipment TypeYou need to determine if the external hardware serial ports are configured as DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) or DCE (Data Communications Equipment) before you connect the serial port pins of
the FOX4-4G devices to an external equipment.
FOX4-4G devices are designed for use as DCE devices. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE
connections, it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

Special pin description (pins 4, 5, 6)

The I/O2 and I/O3 (pins 5 and 6) can also operate as CAN-Bus interface if CAN is activated on the
FOX4-4G devices. For more details about the CAN interface refer to the following documents
under section 1.7 Related documents•

PFAL Command Reference•

Application Note: CAN Applications with AVL Devices• Application Note: How to collect FMS/J1939/OBD-II data with FOX3-2G/3G/4G series
These pins have dual functions. They are controlled by the internal firmware of FOX4-4G. You
must define whether to use them as analog or digital pins. The configured digital pins can be
inputs or outputs while the analog pins can only be inputs.
Their function is controlled by the command PFAL, IO0[1,2].Config. For example, if you want touse I/O1 as an analog pin, and the I/O2 and I/O3 as digital, use the following commands,
respectively:$PFAL,IO0.Config=AI,2,11// 0 = I/O1; AI = analog; 2 and 11 = min. and max. voltages
for Low and High events$PFAL,IO1.Config=DI,5,10// 1= I/O2; DI = digital input; 5 and 10 = min. and max.
voltages for Low and High events$PFAL,IO2.Config=DI,5,10// 2= I/O3; DI = digital input; 5 and 10 = min. and max.
voltages for Low and High events

If you want to use a digital pin, e.g. I/O2 or I/O3, as a digital output pin, use the following PFAL
commands:$PFAL,IO4.Set=high//4= I/O1; high = sets output to high

$PFAL,IO5.Set=high//5 = I/O2; high = sets output to high

$PFAL,IO6.Set=cyclic,2000,1000//6 = I/O3; cyclic = sets output to high for 2 seconds andlow for 1 seconds.

When using an I/O as digital pin you must first set it to high (with PFAL command$PFAL,IO4.Set=high or $PFAL,IO5.Set=high or $PFAL,IO6.Set=high), otherwise 0V will bemeasured and the device could get damaged.
Some examples of how to use them are provided in the sections below.
7.1.2.1

How to use I/O pins (4, 5, 6) as analog inputs

These pins can operate either as digital or analog inputs, however they should be configured andcalibrated with PFAL commands for such purposes.
FOX4 – 4G Hardware Manual26

7: Hardware Interfaces
Analog voltages of up to 32.0V with 10 bits resolution can be processed and remotely evaluatedby a server application. A pull-up resistor to a constant input voltage allows for resistivetransducers to ground, e.g., fuel sensor or thermistors.
To use these IOs as analog inputs, send the following command to the device.
$PFAL,IO0[1,2].Config=AI,2,11
where 0, 1 and 2 are indices corresponding to IO1 (pin 4), IO2 (pin 5), and IO3 (pin 6) respectively,
while the values 2 and 11 are min. and max. voltages that will be used to generate Low and Highevents, respectively. Detailed information can be found in the PFAL Command Reference, refer to
1.7 Related Documents [1].
Connection example 1 (for I/O1 and I/O2):
An analog input can be connected to a temperature sensor (NTC resistor for instance). In the
diagram below a fixed resistor is used between input voltage and I/O2, and a variable resistor(Negative Temperature Coefficient whose resistance or capacitance decreases when temperature
increases), between I/O2 and ground. It is possible to set a low temperature alarm and a hightemperature alarm. Passage through these thresholds will trigger an alarm. We recommend using
SMS or TCP as alarm type with GPIOP protocol. The SMS can be received on a mobile phone,modem, or any GSM device when changes are detected. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
inside the unit has an input voltage range from 0 to 2.5 V. An application example is shown in
Figure 7 below:

Figure 6: Connection example 1 when using it as analog input

Connection example 2 (for I/O1 and I/O2):
An analog input can be connected to a tachometer generator. The maximum output voltage ofthe tachometer should be + 32.0 V (see example in figure below).
Both circuit examples (the NTC diagram above and the Tachometer below) are only illustrations
to show the aim of these I/Os when using them as analog inputs.

Figure 7: Connection example 2 when using it as analog input

FOX4 – 4G Hardware Manual27

7: Hardware Interfaces
7.1.2.2

How to use I/O pins (4, 5, 6) as digital Inputs

These pins are high active when used as digital inputs, so you can set VIN(LOW) and VIN(HIGH) to any
levels within the range from +0 to +32.0 VDC. The High and Low levels can be set with PFAL
command PFAL,IO0[1,2].Config=DI,5,10 where 0, 1 and 2 are indices corresponding to IO1 (pin4), IO2 (pin 5) and IO3 (pin 6) respectively. The values 5 and 10 are min. and max. voltages thatwill be used to generate Low and High events respectively. Detailed information about PFAL
commands can be found in PFAL Command Reference, refer to 1.7 Related Documents [1].
The figure below illustrates how these inputs can be used in practice. When the internal software
detects input changes from High to Low or vice versa, a Falling or Rising edge Event is respectively
generated. Therefore, depending on the alarm type, the FOX4-4G can react to the input changes
and release different alarms such as sending out SMS, email messages, TCP packets, opening a
CSD connection or activating output ports. The alarm type is configuration dependent.

Figure 8: Connection example when using it as digital input

A completed circuit example for all inputs is provided in section 9.1.1.
7.1.2.3

How to use I/O pins (4, 5, 6) as digital outputs

FOX4-4G devices support three IOs which can be used either as input or output. These outputs
are open collectors. They can be connected directly via resistors (R) to LEDs, Relays etc. andrequire power of 100 mA @ up to + 32.0 V DC. The figures below show the schematic of possible
output connections. To activate these outputs, use the command$PFAL,IO4[5,6].Set=high[low,hpulse,lpulse,cyclic] for IO1, IO2 and IO3 respectively or you canconfigure one or more alarms that activate these outputs when specific events occur (e.g.,$PFAL,Cnf.Set,AL0=IO.e8=redge:IO4.Set=cyclic,1000,2000).
To evaluate the alarm, send the alarm configuration to the FOX4-4G devices and then trigger IGNpin to High. As a result, the IO1 goes High for 1 sec and Low for 2 sec. To set IO1 to Low, executethe command PFAL, IO4.Set=Low. For more details on how to activate an output and how to
configure an alarm, refer to 1.7 Related documents [1], PFAL Command Reference. Both figures
below show the schematic connections of how to use this output.
NOTE: The power should not be applied directly to an output pin without having e.g., a resistor
between them.

7.1.2.4

How to use IGN pin (pin 3)

It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to the ignition key to support the IGN-powersaving function when the vehicle is off.
The IGN-pin has two functions:
To wake up the FOX4-4G system from the IGN-sleep mode (when sleeping).
To monitor the vehicle ignition state and report/store the trip START and STOP by using
the events IO.e8=redge and IO.e8=fedge respectively.
IGN-sleep mode is one of the eight supported energy-saving modes of the device operation inwhich all unnecessary components are shut down. On IGN wake-up signal, the device returns tofull functionality.
Note that, FOX4-4G devices power on automatically when external power is applied, and IGN pin
provides an additional "wake up" function for the IGN-sleep mode when it is requested.
In case of unauthorized vehicle access/start, you are automatically alerted by SMS or TCP and thevehicle recovery can be started by knowing its exact location. In such a case, use the IGN
generated event as a condition to start the vehicle tracking.

Serial Port 0 - Serial communication signals (RxA and TxA)

FOX4-4G devices incorporate a full duplex serial channel which allows two devices tocommunicate directly with each other via the RS232 serial port. All supported variable baud rates
are software controlled. It is recommended to use the FOX4-4G evaluation board tocommunicate with the FOX4-4G devices. The signals on these pins are obtained to RS232
compatible signal levels.

1-Wire interface description

A 1-Wire bus uses only one wire for signaling and power. One or several 1-Wire devices can beconnected to the bus at the same time. Only one master should be connected to the bus.
Driver identification, temperature, and humidity sensors are quite often used on vehicle
applications. The integration of 1-wire interface into the FOX4-4G devices, allows the system
integrators for telematics, fleet management, and intelligent transportation system to beeconomical and time efficient in their work, due to the use of extra external devices which are
not integrated into the in-vehicle computers. You can use the 1-Wire interface to know which
drivers are in which vehicles and at the same time monitor the temperature and humidity of theirrefrigerated trucks. This allows shippers to use their server to record the transportation anddelivery state of their temperature-sensitive loads.
How does it work?
A 1-Wire network consists of a master controller which is connected to one or many slave
devices. The 1-Wire interface on FOX4-4G is a master controller. All the actual monitoring devices(lightning detector, moisture meter, motion detector, barometer, etc.) are slave devices. FOX44G communicate with temperature and iButton devices via 1-Wire protocol developed by Dallas
Semiconductor, sending and receiving signals over a single data line plus ground reference. The 1Wire protocol synchronizes the monitoring devices to the FOX4-4G, which initiates and requests
all activities on the 1-Wire network. One key feature of the Dallas system is that every 1-Wireslave device has a guaranteed unique address saved on-chip ROM (Read Only Memory). This
enables the master to recognize individually each of your slave devices and you can have multiple
devices of the same type on the same network without conflict.

1-Wire is a system of devices such as temperature, iButton etc. that are connected through the 1Wire data line plus ground reference to the FOX4-4G devices. You can use and connect to theFOX4-4G 1-Wire line, only sensors that require power supply between 2.9V and 5.0V. FOX4-4G

Serial Port 1 – Serial communication

The FOX4-4G accessory port provides the following types of serial communication:
•
•

RS232
RS485

The device supports either RS232 or RS485 communication at any given time. When RS232 modeis active, RS485 interface must remain open to avoid signal interference and vice versa.
Note: RS485 communication is available only for certain SKUs. Refer to section 1.1
RS232
The FOX4-4G devices provides a full duplex serial channel in the accessory port which allows two
devices to communicate directly via RS232 serial ports. Pin 3 - RS232 (RxA_1) and pin 4 - RS232(TxA_1) are used for RS232 communication. All supported baud rates are controlled by PFAL
commands. To communicate with the FOX4-4G devices, it is recommended to use the FOX4-4G
Promotion Kit since it provides all the requirements you need for your evaluation. The signals onthese pins are obtained to RS232 compatible signal levels.
••

RxA_1 - Receive channel and can be used for executing commands and firmware update.
TxA_1 - Output channel for responses and system data to any software (e.g.,HyperTerminal, Workbench).

RS485
Pin 5 - RS485 (D-) and pin 6 - RS485 (D+) are used for RS485 communication. RS485 uses halfduplex communication. The direction is controlled with PFAL command.

7.3

Schematics

Figure 26 below illustrates a common schematic to install the FOX4-4G devices in the vehicle. For
detailed information, refer to 1.7 Related Documents [5].

9.1.1Installation guidance

Upon installing the FOX4-4G in a vehicle, you will be able to track and locate the vehicle all thetime and you will be automatically notified when disagreements with your stored configuration in
the FOX4-4G device occur. Depending on the user requirements, the operator may program thedigital outputs to activate something e.g., a relay, buzzer, turn on a lamp, etc. The digital inputs
can be individually configured, for example, to detect something when it is opened or closed.
Changes on digital inputs may trigger an output to activate, for example, a relay or buzzer. The
IGN line can be connected to the vehicle ignition key to monitor its ON/OFF position.
Note: Turn the car ignition off before making any connection. Use a common ground point for
all device ground pins. To avoid ground loops and second grounds, isolate all grounded pins of the
FOX4-4G from the vehicle body. Do not connect power from a different system to the FOX4-4G.
The outputs of the FOX4-4G devices must be supplied with the same voltage applied to the (+IN)
pin. The operating voltage MUST never exceed its range as the device is not protected against
continuous overvoltage. For security reasons, it is recommended to integrate an external 2A fusebetween the positive wire of the FOX4-4G (+IN) and D.C. power source.
You can mount the external antenna on the dash or on the windshield of the vehicle with the GPSside facing the sky. For security purposes, to prevent theft, it is advisable to mount the antenna
under the dashboard.
Apply power to the FOX4-4G devices only with external antenna connected (if used) and vehicle
ignition off. First connect the GND pin and finally apply power to the +IN pin of the FOX4-4G.
