hermesTRX 3.50 Introduction
1. Introduction
The hermesTRX is a plug-and-play cost effective real time GPS fleet management system using
Google Earth as its mapping platform. It is configurable through a built-in web server to track
and manage vehicles, persons, assets or even pets by GPS enabled Motorola Radios. In addition
to the location service, a text messaging facility and the processing of telemetry is provided.
The maximum number of vehicles that are trackable at the same time depends on the version of
hermesTRX. Please see our price list for further details.
The illustration below shows the setup of the hermesTRX system with MOTOTRBO. Note that
multiple users can connect to hermesTRX at the same time (Networking Solution).

2.5. Add a static route to a MOTOTRBO network (1 Base Radio)

You can skip this chapter if you are using the GPS Revert Channel feature (MOTOTRBO Multi
Channel Device Driver installed).
Set up a route to the Motorola CAI Network by adding a static route with the MOTOTRBO radio
as gateway. The setup for this route depends on the MOTOTRBO CAI Network settings youve
made at your base and subscriber radios. In our example the CAI Network is set to 10. Therefore
we have to add a route for 10.0.0.0
1. Double click on the add_mototrbo_route.bat to start the configuration.
2. Enter 2 to add a static route to the base PC. You will be asked for the CAI network setting of
your fleet and the local IP address of the MOTOTRBO base radio. Enter following values for
this example:
CAI Network (10-127) = 10
Local MOTOTRBO IP address = 192.168.10.1
3. After the successful installation an overview of all configured routes on the base PC will be
shown in the persistent routes section at the end. Press any key to get back to the route main
menu. Press q to quit the batch file.
2.6. Prepare the hermesTRX

The hermesTRX is shipped with default factory settings. Standard IP address and subnet mask are
as follows:
IP 192.168.1.100 - Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
If your network segments differ from the ones stated above, you will need to adapt the network
settings of the hermesTRX for a seamless integration into your existing network. In this example (see
Illustration 2), we will assume your network is a set of /24 addresses which differs from the default
address in the third segment, e.g. 192.168.178.0 instead of 192.168.1.0.
In this example we will also assume that the PC where the base is connected has the IP
192.168.178.60 and the hermesTRX needs to be configured with the IP address 192.168.178.61.
Follow steps 1 14 and configure the hermesTRX accordingly. If you are unsure about what you
have to do, please contact your system administrator.
1. Open the properties for the TCP/IP protocol of your local area network interface on this PC
and take note of the currently configured IP settings. In our example we assume the base PC
has the IP address 192.168.178.60 configured (see Illustration 2).
2. Configure your PC to match the default network address range of the hermesTRX (192.168.1.0):
Set the IP address to 192.168.1.2 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. If you have gateways
or name servers in the list, then leave them as they are. Click OK to save the settings.
3. Disconnect your PC from your local network. Connect it to the hermesTRX using a separate
crossover network cable (see price list for further details). Power up the hermesTRX by plugging
in the power cord. Alternatively, connect the hermesTRX to a hub/switch using a patch
network cable (see price list for further details) and leave your PCs network cabling as it is.
Then power up the hermesTRX.
4. Open your preferred browser; enter the default IP 192.168.1.100 of the hermesTRX in your
address bar and hit enter.
hermesmicrocom 14
5. The following start page (depending on the browser being used, the output may vary
slightly) - will appear:
6. Click on Settings to access the Network configuration page. You will be prompted to enter a
username and a password to proceed.
Factory default: user: admin- password: 123456
Since version 3.10 the hermesTRX has two separate user accounts, one for the user and
one for the administrator. The default user name for the MOTOTRBO hermesTRX system is
mototrbo and the default administration user name is admin. The default passwords
are in both cases 123456. See chapter 4.5.8 for more details.
7. Set the IP Address and Subnet to meet your local area network configuration. For our example
(see Illustration 2), enter the IP address 192.168.178.61, and leave the subnet mask to
255.255.255.0
8. Enter the IP Address of the PC to which the base station is connected, in this example
192.168.178.60 as the MOTOTRBO Gateway.
9. To synchronize with a timeserver from the Internet enter the IP address of your gateway into
Internet Gateway. In most cases this would be the IP address of your router, usually
192.168.178.1.
10. Click on Save to save the settings. The next page reminds you that a restart of the hermesTRX is
necessary to apply all changes. Return to the main page in order to continue with the
preparation of the hermesTRX in the next step.
11. Go to Settings - Time & Date to adjust the current time zone for your system. Click save to write
the configuration back. Alternatively you can configure the date and time manually in case
the hermesTRX cannot access a timeserver from the Internet.
12. The hermesTRX is now prepared and can be integrated into your network. Turn off the
hermesTRX by powering off the device, connect it to a hub or switch with a standard patch
cable and plug the power cord back in.
13. Revert the IP address of your PC, in our example to 192.168.178.60 and reconnect the network
cable of your local network. You can now access the hermesTRX with the IP address
192.168.178.61 via your browser.
hermesmicrocom 15
2.7. Configure the hermesTRX

The next step will guide you through the configuration of one subscriber radio and how to start the
Google Earth application.
14. Enter the IP address (192.168.178.61) configured earlier of the hermesTRX into the address bar
of your browser.
15. Go to the Settings section, authenticate and click on Subscribers.
16. Enter the Radio ID of your base radio into the first row (named Base), in this example 1.
17. Now enter the radio ID of your subscriber, in this example 30, into the Radio ID field 1 to track
the radio with ID 30 (see 2.2). Assign an appropriate and unique name for the subscriber and
change the icon if you wish. Click on Save to write the configuration into non-volatile memory.
18. Before you start Google Earth you might wish to adjust some other fleet related configuration
like for example the refresh interval or the GPS time out on the Google Earth page in the
Settings section. Click Save to write the configuration into nonvolatile memory.
19. By clicking on Start Google Earth on the lower left of the screen a download dialogue will
appear prompting you to open or save the file geconfig.kml. If you wish to start right away,
select Open to open and load the file into Google Earth. Otherwise, save the file on your
hard drive.
20. Ensure your subscriber has a GPS fix, indicated by a full satellite dish (DP3601) on the display.
The radio will not be shown on the Google Earth map until the radio has a valid GPS fix.

one for the administrator. The default user name for the TETR A systems is tetra and
the default administration user name is admin. The default passwords are in both
cases 123456. See chapter 4.5.8 for more details.
6. Set the IP Address and Subnet to meet your local area network configuration. For our example
(see Illustration 3), enter the IP address 192.168.178.61, and leave the subnet mask to
255.255.255.0
7. If you want the hermesTRX to synchronize with a timeserver from the Internet enter the IP
address of your gateway into Internet Gateway. In most cases this would be the IP address of
your router, probably 192.168.178.1.
8. Click on Save to save the settings. The next page reminds you that a restart of the hermesTRX is
necessary to apply all changes. Return to the main page in order to continue with the
preparation of the hermesTRX in the next step.
9. Go to Settings - Time & Date to adjust the current time zone for your system. Click save to write
the configuration into the nonvolatile memory.

10. The hermesTRX is now configured and can be integrated into your network. Turn off the
hermesTRX by powering off the device, connect it to a hub or switch with a standard patch
cable and plug the power cord back in.
11. Change the IP address of your PC to its original setting (as previously noted down) and plug
the network cable of your local network back in. You can now access the hermesTRX with the
IP you assigned in step 6 via your browser.
3.4. Configure the hermesTRX

The next step will guide you through the configuration of a subscriber radio and how to start the
Google Earth application.
1. Enter the IP address (192.168.178.61) of the hermesTRX configured earlier into the address bar
of your browser.
2. Go to Settings, authenticate and click on Subscribers.
3. Enter the ISSI of your base radio into the first row (named Base), in this example 1901001.
Since version 3.33 the hermesTRX automatically detects the presence of the base radio
an queries its ISSI. No further action is required!
4. Next enter the ISSI of your subscriber, in this example 2401125, into the Radio ID field 1 to track
the radio with ISSI 2401125 (see Illustration 3). Assign an appropriate and unique name for the
subscriber (i.e. Vehicle 12) and change the icon if you wish. Click on Save to write the
configuration back to the hermesTRX.
5. Before you start Google Earth you may wish to adjust some other fleet related parameters
such as the refresh interval or the GPS time out on the Google Earth page in the Settings
section. Click Save when youre finished to write the configuration into nonvolatile memory.
6. By clicking on Start Google Earth on the lower left of the screen a download dialogue will
appear, prompting you to open or save the file geconfig.kml. If you wish to start right away,
then select Open to open and load the file into Google Earth. Otherwise, save the file onto
your hard drive.
7. Ensure your subscriber has a GPS fix, (which is indicated by a satellite dish (MTP850) icon on the
display). The radio will not be shown on the Google Earth map until the radio has a valid GPS
fix.

of state (online, offline, etc.) of each GPS enabled radio is recorded on the SD card.
Each recording can be saved and viewed separately and will be stored for 31 days. There is no
configuration needed by the admin. Recording will start automatically by receiving the first
location report.
Selecting a recording file form the Playback Page

The playback page enables access to all recorded files. By entering the playback page the
hermesTRX will read the SD card for available recording files and show them summarized for each
subscriber in a dropdown field selectable by the date of recording.
To open a recording file simply click on the date of recording. The hermesTRX starts preparing a
KML file with all recorded information of that particular day. Depending on how many records
were made on the selected day for the subscriber, it can take a few minutes to create the route
file, before the hermesTRX prompt you to save or open the KML file. You can now save the KML
file and open it with Google Earth or you can simply click Open to start Google Earth right away
with the recorded tour.
hermesmicrocom 27
Viewing Timelines in Google Earth (extract from Google Earth user guide)
If you have downloaded data that contains time information (for example, GPS tracks), you can view
this information sequentially in Google Earth. For example, you can view GPS tracks that occurred
within a specific time period and visually follow these tracks. To do this:
1. Import GPS data or other time-related data.
2. In the Places panel, select this data. The time slider appears at the top of the 3D viewer with a time
range that corresponds to the data you selected.
3. Do any of the following:
a) To re-define the time range of data displayed in the 3D viewer, drag the range marker (see
below) to the right or left.
b) To move the time range earlier or later, drag the time slider (see below) to the right or left. The
range marker moves with the time slider so that the time range shown remains the same.
c) To play an animation of the sequence, click the Play button (see below).
Features of the time slider include:
1. Click this to play an animation of a sequence. This works best if you move the range marker to
define a time range smaller than the whole set. Click the adjacent buttons to step forward or back.
2. Drag the range marker to the right or left to re-define the time range of data displayed.
3. Click this to set options for the time slide.
4. Zoom in or out to shorten or lengthen the date range covered by your timeline. This allows you to
more easily see the different imagery that's available within a shorter or longer period of time.
Notice that, as you zoom in or out, the Start and End dates on the timeline change.
Drag this to move the time range earlier or later.

hermesmicrocom 31
Max Info Age
Specifies the maximum GPS information age for the subscriber radios. If there is no valid GPS
fix for this period, radio will send location messages indicated as no GPS fix.
Default: Refresh every 60 seconds
Refresh Interval
Determines the time between two updates of position data of your subscribers. This value is
used for all configured subscribers (i.e. a fleet default value)!
Default: Refresh every 2 minutes
Automatic Interval Calculation and Reconfiguration

To avoid channel overload and collision errors on the MOTOTRBO and TETRA networks
respectively, the hermesTRX automatically adjusts and reconfigures the smallest possible
interval value applied to all subscribers should hermesTRX deem this necessary. This will be
applied taking the umber of GPS active subscribers to ensure optimum performance of the
system.
MOTOTRBO 1: 1 Channel configuration (without Revert Channel Option)

8 seconds per subscriber are used to calculate the smallest possible interval
with one MOTOTRBO channel.
((GPS subscribers x 8 seconds) + 59) / 60 = smallest possible interval (rounding)
MOTOTRBO 2: 2 Channel configuration (with Revert Channel Option)

4 seconds per subscriber are used to calculate the smallest possible interval
with two MOTOTRBO channel or slots.
Consult MOTOROLAs MOTOTRBO System Planner Guide for further

information on planning a MOTOTRBO network.
TETRA: 4 seconds per subscriber are used to calculate the smallest possible interval.
GPS Timeout
GPS Timeout is the time after a subscriber is removed from the map view if no location
message is received. The same timeout is used to set a subscriber from state online to
absent after the subscriber stopped sending location messages without having received a
deregistration request from hermesTRX.
For instance, a refresh interval of 1 minute and a configured GPS Lifetime of 3 will remove
the subscriber after 3 minutes from Google Earth.
Default: factor 2 (2 x 2 minutes = 4minutes)
Speed and Direction

Enable this option to receive speed and direction information of all GPS activated
subscribers. By selecting km/h or mp/h the feature is enabled and the subscriber radio
will send its speed in km/h or mp/p and heading information on each position update.
Speed and direction information is only shown in Google Earth. Click on the subscriber icon
to see detailed information about the subscriber (balloon). See Chapter 4.7 Google Earth for
further details.
Default: Speed and Direction off
hermesmicrocom 32
Fly To View
When set to yes (default), the camera will automatically fly to a position showing all
vehicles who have their postion indicated on the map. This feature provides an overview of
the entire fleet (those who have sent in a GPS postion update). The further the distance
between the vehicles, the more the camera will zoom out. Please note that the camera will
fly to this position each time position updates are received, (determined by the refresh
interval). It will also zoom out if hermesTRX is ticked in the list of places within Google
Earth. If you wish to keep the view onto a single unit or a custom view, this setting must be
disabled within Google Earth itself or changed here before starting hermesTRX with Google
Earth.
Default: Fly To View yes
Fixed Position
In addition to the fleet, a fixed position/location may be included on the map (e.g.
company headquarters/ bus depot etc.). Check the box for Home to activate this place
mark on the map. Enter a name and description for this static location, and enter the
position in the fields Longitude and Latitude in a decimal format, i.e.
11.46236333333333 and 48.09093166666667 or -77.036685 and 38.897530.

4.5.5. Subscribers
The subscriber settings page contains all options to enable a subscriber radio to be added
and configured to the hermesTRX system. Enable the checkbox Active to add a subscriber
to the hermesTRX. Entering the Radio ID/ISSI is mandatory! Furthermore, a unique name can
be assigned with the Radio ID/ISSI. This name will be used along with the radio ID to easily
identify the subscriber amongst the other subscribers in addition to the numeric Radio
IDs/ISSIs.
Configuring the Base

The first row is reserved for the base radio ID and indicated with Base at the beginning.
MOTOTRBO SMTP: This setting is mandatory for the MOTOTRBO SMTP model! To ensure
the mail functionality is available, the radio ID or the raido connected to the PC must
be entered into the Radio ID field.
TETR A: The base ISSI in all TETR A models will be detected automatically by the
hermesTRX. There is no further configuration necessary besides assigning a proper
name for the base.
Active
If checked, the corresponding subscriber is configured to the hermesTRX system and will be
available for features such as GPS, text messaging, job dispatching, etc.
Ensure your radios have the same CAI Network IP set in the CPS of each MOTOTRBO radio
(see Appendix A). Leave the checkbox unchecked for inactive/unneeded subscribers.
NOTE: Those subscribers configured are controlled during system start. Having many
unused subscribers configured in the system will cause a delay the booting process and
slows down the system in general!
Radio ID / ISSI
The Radio ID/ISSI will appear in the list of tracked vehicles in Google Earth and represents
the address of the subscriber in the infrastructure of MOTOTRBO or TETRA. The address will
be also shown in Google Earth.
hermesmicrocom 34
MOTOTRBO: Radio ID of your subscriber radio
valid range from 1 16 776 415
TETRA: ISSI of the subscriber radio

valid range from 1 13 999 999
Name
This unique name is associated with the Radio ID/ISSI. It is also shown next to the icon on the
map of Google Earth.
GPS
If checked, the corresponding subscriber will appear on the map as soon as it sends valid
GPS data. If a subscribers position data is not necessary, leave this unchecked. Unticking
this option will configure the subscriber to stop sending location reports to the hermesTRX.
NOTE: If the quantity of valid subscribers to be processed at the configured interval

value is exceeded, then hermesTRX will recalculate the interval value and reconfigure
all subscribers with the smallest possible interval value (see 4.5.4 Google Earth
Automatic Interval Calculation for further details).
Text
Activate this option to enable text messaging for this subscriber.
NOTE: Make sure the required radio is capable of this feature (i.e has a display)
because no error message will be returned if this is configured in error to an unsuitable
subscribers radio.
Status
This informs you, if the subscriber is currently available (online). Once a subscriber is switched
on, it will automatically send a registration message to the hermesTRX (see 2.2 How to
configure MOTOTRBO radios). A green icon will indicate subscribers, which have registered
successfully.
During startup of hermesTRX all subscribers are queried for their presence. If a query is
acknowledged, hermesTRX will configure the subscriber to send its location within the
configured interval (see Google Earth Settings).
Emergency Case: In case of emergency (ALERT) the status icon will be changed to red. Click
the status icon to reset the state to normal if necessary.
Icon selection
Select the icon for this subscriber. By clicking on Icon, a new window will open showing all
available icons.
hermesmicrocom 35
4.5.6. Alert and Custom States (PRO version only)

see appendix E for a description how to configure the radios accordingly
Each subscriber which has been correctly configured will register itself to the hermesTRX
when it is switched on. Once a subscriber is successfully registered to the hermesTRX, every
change in state will be recognized by the system and indicated to the user.
Possible States and their color codes
Color Sate occurs when

Offline radio is switched off (sent deregistration message)
Online radio is operating normal
Custom State 1 * hermesTRX receives predefined text message (custom 1)
Absent radio stopped sending data without deregistration
Emergency * received predefined text message to enter alert state
*initiated by user defined text string
Configuration
Alert
By receiving the predefined text string TRX_ALERT_ON the hermesTRX will set the sending
subscriber radio into state alert. The hermesTRX will immediately change the icon color into
red and hold this state until the subscriber sends TRX_ALERT_OFF to deactivate the alert. An
audible tone is being played an every page of the hermesTRX to draw the supervisors
attention to the urgent situation.
Custom States
Three free definable states may be configured. To activate a custom state enable the check
box and enter a name and a unique text string.
For example, the hermesTRX receives the text string TRX_SU_STATE1. The icon color of the
sending subscriber will change into cyan. The color will not change until a different state is
activated (e.g. custom state 2, alert) or the subscriber sends the string to reset the state
TRX_SU_RESET.
NOTE:
Dependent upon the last state indication received (text string or ARS) the hermesTRX will
change the color of the icon accordingly in real-time.
hermesmicrocom 36
In case of an emergency (ALERT) every other state will be ignored and the icon color of this
particular subscriber will be changed to red. The hermesTRX will indicate this emergency until
the subscriber deactivates the emergency, even if the subscriber is online, absent or offline.
4.5.7. Mail (PRO version only)

Mails per page
If your mailbox contains many messages, the message table will by default split into multiple
pages with the first page being displayed. To view other pages, use the Previous and Next
buttons at the top and bottom of the message table. This value defines how many messages
shall be shown on the first page. Possible values are from 1-99.
Default: 14(optimized for a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels)
Resend retries
This value defines how often the hermesTRX should retry to send a message before it quits
with an error message to the senders inbox. Time interval between every retry is 70 seconds.
Default: 3
4.5.7.1. SMTP Configuration (MOTOTRBO SMTP version only)

The hermesTRX SMTP version is capable of sending messages from an email client such as
outlook (or other email programs) to a registered subscribers radio of the hermesTRX and in
the reverse direction.
To achieve such a configuration an individual email server (Microsoft Exchange, Apple OS X
Mail Server, etc.) is mandatory and routing configurations have to be assigned. Please see
the hermesTRX SMTP Configuration Guide for further details about the prerequisites and
necessary configuration data.
hermesmicrocom 37
SMTP Server Configuration

The hermesTRX has an integrated SMTP server and client in order to receive and send emails.
To receive emails from other SMTP servers, the hermesTRX needs to be configured with an
individual email domain - this is mandatory!
The email address of a subscriber is Radio ID@Email Domain. In this example subscriber
with the radio ID 234 would have the email address 234@hermestrx.com.
Email Domain
Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the hermesTRX email domain.
Default Subject
SMTP Relay Server (Client configuration)

An SMTP Relay Server is necessary to send messages to foreign email recipients. By leaving
the User and Password field empty, the hermesTRX sends the message without authenticating
before. If authentication is required, a user name and password can be entered to
authenticate via SMTP AUTH LOGIN.
IP address
IP address of the SMTP Relay Server. This server is used to send messages to external
recipients.
User:
User which is needed to authenticate. Authentication method must be SMTP AUTH
LOGIN.
Password
Password to authenticate the sender.
Email Aliases
hermesmicrocom 38
To enable subscriber radios to send messages to an email address, a special contact type
(dispatch call) has to be configured to the MOTOTRBO radios and a global TMS server (base
radio ID) needs to be configured also. The dispatch call contains a virtual Radio ID which is
associated with a recipients email address on the hermesTRX SMTP configuration page.
Therefore if a subscriber wishes to send a message to an email address, it selects one of the
preconfigured contacts (dispatch call) pre-programmed into the radio and sends the
message to the TMS Server (base radio ID) configured including the virtual radio ID. The
hermesTRX will then send an email to the associated email address of the dispatch Radio ID.
The Email Aliases configuration table also acts as a white list. Emails from senders which are
not configured in the Email Aliases table are rejected with an SMTP error message.
Radio ID
Virtual Radio ID which is configured to the dispatch call contact in the subscriber radio.
Email Address
Associated email address according to the virtual Radio ID of the dispatch call. Also
allowed recipient and sender email address.
hermesmicrocom 39
4.5.8. Password
There are two types of passwords, which can be set within hermesTRX. The user password is
used to connect to the Web server of hermesTRX, send mails, open recording files and
retrieve the KML files for Google Earth. The admin password is required to view and change
settings such as IP address and other vital parameters. The maximum length for each text
field is 7 characters.

4.5.9. Maintenance
Shutdown
Shutting down hermesTRX will configure all subscribers to stop sending location messages.
Further incoming text messages will be discarded. Access to the KML file is locked and will be
unlocked after a restart of hermesTRX.
If any IP address of hermesTRX has been changed, a shutdown to reconfigure all

subscriber radios is necessary. Disregarding this warning and powering off the
hermesTRX without shutting it down will resultin an unknown system state.
Restore

hermesTRX 3.50 External Applications
Appendix G: How to use hermesTRX GPS information for external Application

There are two ways to gather information from the hermesTRX for external application.
a) Serial Interface (RS232)

All subscriber related events, such as registration, GPS position, state messages and many other
information are shown on the serial interface of the hermesTRX. By parsing the output line by line,
the information can be used for an external MAP application.
Example output on the serial interface.

15:35:06 LRRP: Lon:11.4613158 Lat:48.0907654, RID 2
In this example the hermesTRX has received a GPS position (decimal degree value) from
subscriber with radio ID 2 at 15:35:06
b) KML Interface (HTTP)

Another solution to collect data from the hermesTRX is to parse the KML file which is used by the
Google Earth interface. The KML file is an XML based file format.
To generate a KML file the following CGI function must be triggerd:
http://*HERMESTRX_IP_ADDRESS*/html/cgi-bin/kmlpos.kml
By triggering this function, the hermesTRX will generate each time the function is called a new
generated KML file with the latest information of all subscribers.
Within this KML file all subscribers are separated into placemarks. Each placemark contains all
subscriber related information such as Name, Radio ID and of course the decimal degree value of
the subscribers GPS position.
