Configuring Units Before Use The WITS unit is supplied with the GPS antenna connected and attached to the unit and will be pre-configured with all of the essential information to allow access to the Ezurio middleware server. All that the installer needs to do is to configure the SSID (and optional WEP key) of the access point that will be used to provide wireless access to the internet.

To enter an SSID use the command ‘ssid n SSIDName keydigits’ where n is between 1 and 3 and SSIDName is the name of the AP and keydigits is the WEP key (if required).
WITS Installation Guide Doc No : VEHIU-R-020 Page 9 of 22 To test the SSID settings, the ‘attach’ command may be used. This scans for available access points in the list and will attach to the access point that has the strongest signal strength. The screen below shows a demonstration of the attach command: Once the access points have been configured and tested, the configuration is complete. To complete the session, type ‘quit’ and the unit will switch off and be ready for installation in the vehicle.

Updating Firmware Normally firmware updates are downloaded automatically by the middleware when required, however, it may be necessary in certain cases for the firmware to be updated manually using the flash loader as follows: Before running the flash loader, the flash load header should be plugged into the OBD connector and the unit reset . The flash loader utility is supplied in the zip file UWLoad.zip.
