3.20.1 DataTrak
DataTrak allows remote communication with the Ad-
vance microprocessor (cellular, satellite, etc).
One way Communication providers can request data
from the Advance microprocessor and transmit it via
their equipment to another location. This is typically
done via the Internet to any destination in the world.
WARNING
Advance microprocessor equipped units
may start automatically at any time the Main
Power switch is not in the OFF position.
Also, the unit may be fitted with two way
communication equipment that will allow
starting of the unit from a remote location
even though the switch is in the OFF posi-
tion.
Two Way Communication providers can also send com-
mands via their equipment to the Advance micropro-
cessor to start or stop the unit, change settings and the
way the microprocessor is operating the unit.
DataTrak is an optional feature. The DataTrak option is
installed by inserting a DataTrak PC Card into the PC
Card slot of the microprocessor and following the
on-screen instructions on the keypad.
The DataTrak Option installation can be confirmed by
scrolling through the Unit Data (refer to Section 3.13).
DataTrak will be listed under the Installed Options head-
ing if it is installed.
Once DataTrak is installed, the Advance Micropro-
cessor must be properly configured for the provider that
will be connecting to it (refer to section 5.2.1). The Satel-
lite Com configuration can be set for “Qualcomm” or
“Other”.
If the provider is Qualcomm T2 (Trailer Tracs 2) or any
other provider then the “Other” setting is used. If the pro-
vider is Qualcomm Trailer Tracs then the “Qualcomm”
setting is used.
Carrier Transicold has worked with approved commu-
nication providers with recommended installation loca-
tions, and wiring connections to Carrier units. Instruc-
tions for installing this equipment is supplied by each
individual provider, and not by Carrier Transicold. Com-
munications electrical harnesses and serial port split-
ters are available from Carrier Transicold Performance
Parts Group (PPG).
Communication Providers will connect into the wiring
harness at the SATCOM port. Testing the SATCOM port
may be done using a serial port to PC cable
(22-01690-00) and the ReeferManager program. If Re-
eferManager can communicate with the micropro-
cessor the unit wiring and microprocessor are perform-
ing normally and any communication problem is with the
provider’s equipment.
