You can find the most recent log file in a specific /var/log/ directory, in a file named messages If you would like to view new information that is written to this log file, Linux offers a way to do this through the command line. • Enter: tail –F /var/log/messages This command will open the messages file and display the latest written lines of the file.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 4.8 Software & Script Updates All of these files can be updated Over-The-Air if subscribed to Calamp’s Device Management Service (PULS). These files can also be updated with physical access to the device as well. Below are the steps and options below: 1. Transfer Firmware/Script (e.g. WINScp, ADB Push) to /data/configs/files directory. First, change directory to /data/configs/files directory.

Used as reference for Jump & Call PEG Actions L514013 T Trigger Define one or more Triggers on the same line. T18,0;T17;A8,4 T,,T, C Conditi on Define one or more Conditions on the same line.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 5.4 Multiple Modifiers PEG2 offers the ability to use multiple modifiers for specific Triggers, Conditions or Actions. This makes it easier to use some existing PEG actions where there was a need to bit mask one modifier, or use two PEG actions to satisfy one function (like copy accumulator). See below for a few examples of how multiple modifiers can be utilized in a PEG2 script.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 Example: “I want to copy Accumulator 10 into Accumulator 22 every second” PEG1 PEG2 Example Not possible using PEG Action 103 (Copy Accum). Possible with this PEG2 line: Limited to 4 bits (accum 0-15) T18,5;A103,10,22 Using PEG Action 124 (Select Dest.) & 125 (Copy to Dest.): Possible with one PEG2 line: T18,5;A103,10,22 120500007C160000 120500007D0A0000 5.

LMU-1300 Training Guide 6.17 Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 Version Reports (App Message 111) Since the firmware versions strings are quite different between the LMU32 and EdgeCore platforms, it is possible that the processing of LMDirect App Message 111 (Version Reports) would require updating in order to properly parse the firmware version. 7. Preparing for Installation Be sure you have received all the LMU components you need.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 See the LMU Environmental Specifications for the exact measurements and specifications of the LMU1300™. Typical installations will place the LMU under the vehicle dash board, or in the trunk. Make sure you can get access to the unit afterwards as under some circumstances it may be necessary to add additional wiring or connections to the LMU.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 Be sure to consider the design decisions described in the previous sections. When you are ready to begin installing the LMU, follow these steps: Place the LMU in the Vehicle The LMU-1300 contains an internal battery, and thus should be oriented with the label facing upwards towards the sky. LMUs with internal antennas should be placed directly under a thick panel to maximize their performance and protect from external elements.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 Note that these processes are all based on issuing AT Commands to the LMU-1300™. It is expected that installers will have access to a serial port expansion cable and a laptop or PDA capable of a terminal connection. Alternatively, an SMS message can be sent to an LMU-1300™ to obtain its current status. 8.1 Comm Verification Installers should first verify that the LMU-1300™ has been acquired and has registered to the wireless network.
LMU-1300 Training Guide Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 If any of the responses return Not-Acquired or Not-Registered (and the APN is correct), the wireless network operator should be contacted for further troubleshooting. Please note that it may take several seconds (or longer) for the LMU-1300™ to communicate with the modem and acquire the wireless network. 8.2 GPS Verification The next step is to verify that the GPS receiver is seeing enough satellites to obtain a valid GPS position.

The second step is to verify that the LMU-1300™ is sending data. The best way to do this is to force the LMU-1300™ to send in an unacknowledged Event Report (i.e.

Revision & Date 0.8–09/22/2020 LMU-1300 Training Guide GPS: o [Antenna ]: This field, if present, indicates a problem with the LMU’s GPS antenna. A value of Short indicates that the antenna cable has likely been crushed. A value of Open indicates that the antenna cable is either cut or disconnected. A value of Off indicates that the LMU’ GPS receiver is off.
