FAQ

I can’t find the com port number on sscom tool, what happens?

Make sure the “GPS Driver” is installed on your PC. If installed and then check if connect the tracker with the USB Config cable and NOT the Charging cable.

Why do I get the alert “USB Device not recognized”?

If get the alert when you connect the USB cable to the PC, please check if you use the MP91 Config cable (this is the customized cable not standard)

The MP91 ONLY works with the Config cable.

The USB Config cable is connected and tries to send the command but no response?

Maybe the battery is low pls check if the LED is light.

There are two ways to check the settings:
1. SMS command: CXZT
2. USB command: AT%TEST=START
