Download Config Tool

Connect the USB Config Cable (NOT USB Charging Cable)between the PC and MT700

Please make sure to use the “USB Config Cable,” or it may not be recognized.

The MT700 Config cable is customized and not the standard cable on the market. so please make sure to connect the MT700 with the MT700 config cable.

Check Com Port

You can open Device Manager (press the Windows button then type ‘device’).

Right-click the “Windows Start” ;
Select the “Device Manager”;
Click “Port (COM & LPT) and confirm Port number (“USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM15)“

In the image above COM15 disappears when I unplug my USB Config cable, so COM15 is the port I need to choose on sscom tool.

If Insert the USB Config Cable and show “PL2303HXA PHASED OUT” please check this article to fix it.

SSCOM tool

Open “sscom” tool
Select the Comm Port number that shows on “Port (COM & LPT)” (step 1)
Choose the BaudRate 921600 (step 2)

The Default BaudRate is 921600, it can’t work at other baudrate.

Click “OpenCom” (step 3 in picture)
Click “EXT” (step 4 in the picture)

Do not select “ AddCrLf ” on the sscom tool, or send the commands will fail.

Send Commands to Tracker

Now you can send the commands to GPS Tracker MT700.

Click “Start” until shows “ETS OK” (if no “ETS OK” click” Start” again).
Input the correct SIM Card APN and then click “SET APN”
Input the IP and Port and then click “IP/Port”
Select the matched network and click it ;
Choose working mode and click it and then the device will save all previous settings(apn, IP/Port, and working mode) and reboot.

1. Each time you start to setup the MT700 via sscom tool, have to click the “Start” command and until shows ‘ETS OK” (if no ETS OK try to click the “Start” again).

2. Once ” ETS OK” then you continue to send other commands.

3. At last remember to click the “Save and Exit” Command, or it will not save the previous settings.

3. Setup working mode the device will reboot, so once the device reboots you have to try the above step 1-3 commands again.

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.

When I click the command on sscom and why does it reply “804 FS”?

If you send “ETS” and reply ETS OK, but click other command and it replies FS, Please check as follows:

1. Please check if the command format is wrong, remove any blank or space and try again
2. Remove the “AddCrLf” as the following image and try again.

3. If still fail please contact us at info@mictrack.com

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 MT700 Config cable (this is the customized cable not standard)

The MT700 ONLY works with the Config cable.

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

Once connected to the cable, please notice for each time you have to click “start” first and wait for a reply “ETS OK” (click it again if no reply “ETS OK”) and then click other commands, and lastly do not forget to send the “Save and Exit” command, or all the settings will not save once device reboot.

For example:
if just change the apn, the commands are:
Start (ETS OK)
APN (803 OK)
Save and Exit (QTS OK)

If just change the IP and port the commands are:
Start (ETS OK)
IP/Port (804 OK)
Save and Exit (QTS OK)

The device can not get the network and always show the error “CSQ 99“？

To access the network the SIM Card APN is very important if apn is wrong not apn is not setup, the tracker will not access the network, so please make sure apn is correct and then setup apn via sscom tool.
If APN is correct please confirm your sim card support CAT M1, NB-IoT, or both. and then lock to CAT M1 or NB-IoT, and then reboot the tracker. If still fail, please contact us

The device show sim card error how to fix it?

If so maybe the sim card installs wrong, please remove the sim card and insert the sim card again (notice the sim card direction and make the chip face up

How do I query the current setting?

There are two ways to check the settings:
1. SMS command: *RCONF#1##
2. USB command: RCONF,1
