USB Serial Device Driver Installation The first time the REPORTER 100 is attached to the PC with the USB cable the PC will attempt to install the driver. The driver consists of six files, wrxasync.cat, wrxasync.inf, wrxusb.cat, wrxusb.inf, wrxusb.sys and wrxusb64.sys. These files are provided by Wireless Matrix Corp and must be copied to a known location on the PC hard drive. Note: This driver is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP only.

Click “Next” button to install device driver.

Select “Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended)” to install device driver for REPORTER 100. Then click on the “Next” button.

Figure 4. Verification of Proper Device Driver Installation

After completing the driver installation, check the Device Manager (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager). There should be 3 ports (Port 1, Port 2 and Port 3) in the Ports (COM & LPT) folder. The USB driver simulates an RS232 serial communication port. The operating system (OS) COM port number is dependant on the hardware, how many other USB communication drivers and serial ports are installed. Refer to Figure 4 to check which COM ports the OS has assigned to Port 1-3. Port 3 is always used as the Pass Thru port to GPRS module (COM7 in above example, see Figure 4).

Connection Procedure Note: The REPORTER 100 internal antenna must be mounted at minimum distance of 20 cm away from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other transmitting antenna. A proper SIM card must be used with this device. The SIM card can be inserted on a side of the REPORTER 100, by pushing in the yellow button to eject the SIM card tray. To operate and test this unit, the power supply cable shown in Figure 2 and a MINI-USB/USB cable will be needed. Connect the MINI-USB/USB cable to a PC. See the section “USB Serial Device Driver Installation” if this is the first time the device is installed. Connect the power supply cable to a 12V power supply (+12V wire and ignition wire connected together) Use a serial modem interface (communication program) like ZOC, HYPERTEMINAL or PROCOMM PLUS with the following settings to access the REPORTER 100: 115200 baud, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit, Flow Control: None. IMPORTANT: Please ensure the REPORTER 100 is plugged into the USB port and powered up on the PC prior to starting the communication program. If the REPORTER 100 power cable is removed from the REPORTER 100, the communication program MUST be closed. Reconnect the power cable to the REPORTER 100. Power the unit up and then restart the communication program. Failure to do this will result in the driver not functioning correctly. If the USB cable is unplug from the REPORTER 100, exit the communication program, plug the USB cable back in, and then restart the communication program. Open the communication program to access the COM port associated with Port 3 (COM 7 in above example see Figure 4) Enter <a><t> <CR> and an “OK” response from the terrestrial module should be displayed. There maybe a 30 second delay before the “OK” response is displayed. The communication program is now connected to the Q24 Plus Wavecom module. All characters entered are passed to the Wavecom module and all characters received from the Wavecom module are displayed by the communication program. This is a transparent pass-through mode to access the Wavecom module.
