Overview

The MX100 is a 4G tracking device specifically designed for monitoring temperature and tracking in cold chain, food, and fruit storage and transportation. With its ultra-thin design of just 8mm, it can be easily placed with goods that require monitoring.

The MX100 integrates multiple sensors to monitor movement, light, temperature, humidity, and Geo-fence. It supports both indoor and outdoor positioning via WIFI, LBS and GPS. The short-range wireless BLE enables flexible configuration and pairing with external BLE sensors or accessories, allowing the device to function as a BLE gateway.

Setup and Configuration

For first-time use, you need to set up the APN.

If your SIM card supports SMS, you can configure the device using the following SMS commands (8.1-8.9).

If your SIM card is data-only (don't support SMS), you can set up the device via the USB Config tool: https://help.mictrack.com/articles/how-to-setup-mx100-via-usb-config-tool/

Set APN (Access Point Name)

SMS Command format 1: APN=APN,APN user name,apn password

For example: APN=cmnet,,

Reply: +APN:cmnet,,

Set the IP and port

SMS Command format: IP=X,IP,Port

For example: IP=0,113.98.254.179,7700

Reply: + IP:0,113.98.254.179,7700

Note: The device supports two servers. When X=0, it connects to the Main Server; when X=1, it connects to the Backup Server.

Report interval time

SMS Command format:TIMEGAP=X,Y

For example:TIMEGAP,0,3600

Reply: +TIMEGAP:report,3600

Note: X=0 is reporting cycle and X=1 is sampling period. Y is the report interval time, range [10, 3600] seconds.

Set Light Sensor

SMS Command format: LIGHT=X,Y,Z

For example: LIGHT=1,500,60

Reply: +LIGHT:1,500,60

Note: X=0 disables the light sensor, and X=1 enables it. Y is the light sensor threshold, range [0,1000] (a lower threshold triggers the light alarm more easily). Z is the report interval time, ranging from 10 to 3600 seconds.

Set G-Sensor

SMS Command format:VIBPARAM=A,B,C

For example:VIBPARAM=1,0,100

Reply: +VIBPARAM:1,0,100

Note: A=0 disables the G-sensor, and A=1 enables it. B is the G-sensor gravitational acceleration, with a range of [0.2G, 1.4G, 2.8G, 3.16G]. C is the sensitivity, with a range of [0, 255].

SMS Command format: MOTION=D,E,F

For example:MOTION=3,10,300

Reply: +MOTION:3,10,300

Note: D is the vibration frequency of the device. E is the time range over which the device monitors vibrations. F is the period during which the device is triggered by vibrations.

Set Temperature and Humidity

SMS Command format:TEMPHUMI=A,B

For example:TEMPHUMI=1,60

Reply: +TEMPHUMI:1,60

Note: A=0 disables the temperature and humidity, and A=1 enables it. B is the interval at which temperature or humidity is triggered and the range is [10,3600] seconds.

SMS Command format:TEMPRANGE=C,D

For example:TEMPRANGE=40,0

Reply: +TEMPRANGE:40,0

Note: C is Maximum temperature and D is the Minimum temperature.

SMS Command format:HUMIRANGE=E,F

For example:HUMIRANGE=50,10

Reply: +HUMIRANGE:50,10

Note: E is Maximum humidity and F is the Minimum humidity and the humidity.

Working Mode

Tracking mode + Trigger mode

When the AT command AT+WORKMODE=2 is used, the device enters "Tracking Mode + Trigger Mode." In this mode, the minimum cycle for reporting and sampling can be configured to 10 seconds, and the network module will not enter hibernation after reporting.

Periodic mode mode + trigger mode

When the AT command AT+WORKMODE=4 is used, the device enters "Cycle Mode + Trigger Mode." In this mode, the minimum cycle for reporting and sampling can be configured to 600 seconds, and the network module will enter hibernation after reporting.

Conditional trigger mode

When a trigger alarm (configurable) occurs during the normal reporting period, the device can alter its working mode and the timing of periodic reporting and sampling for a set duration.

To use the conditional trigger reporting mode, use the command:

AT+TRIGGERMODE=<duration>,<condition>,<report>,<sampling>,<workmode>

<duration>: Time during which the trigger condition must be maintained. Both reporting and sampling periods will change after the trigger condition. (Set to 0 to disable.)

<condition>: Trigger condition parameters—1: LOW_POWER, 2: MOTION, 3: CRASH, 4: LIGHT, 5: TEMP_HUMI, 6: TEMP, 7: HUMI (Default: 0)

- <report>: Periodic reporting time

- <sampling>: Periodic sampling time

- <workmode>: Working mode configuration

For example:

Set the reporting period and sampling period to 3600 seconds.

AT+TRIGGERMODE=3600,1,600,600,4

When LOW_POWER is triggered, the periodic reporting and sampling times will change to 600 seconds for one hour. The working mode will be set to 4. After one hour, the device will revert to the previous settings of 3600 seconds.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode is only valid when using Tracking Mode + Trigger Mode or Conditional Trigger Mode.

The AT command is: AT+SLEEPMODE=<mode>

<mode>:

0: The network module consumes low power (sleeps after the device report is complete).

1: The network module remains active (does not sleep after the device report ends).

For example:

When `workmode=2` and `sleepmode=0`, the minimum value is 60 seconds. When `workmode=2` and `sleepmode=1`, the minimum value is 10 seconds.
