Mictrack Config Tool — Help & Tutorial

How to configure your MT700, MT710, MT600 or MT600-NB GPS tracker over USB, right from your browser — no software to install.

Overview

This configuration tool runs right in your browser — no software to install. It connects to your tracker through the USB cable and lets you set the APN, server, network region, and working mode, then writes everything to the device with one click.

It works on Windows, macOS and Linux using the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser. (Safari and Firefox do not support the USB serial feature.)

Before you start

Use Chrome or Edge on a desktop/laptop computer.
Have the included USB Config Cable ready.
Make sure the USB driver is installed on your computer.
Your device should be powered on (blue LED on).

On Windows 11, if the port does not appear or won't connect, see Fix the USB driver on Windows 11 →

On a Mac, install the PL2303 driver from the App Store — then approve it in System Settings → Privacy & Security and restart, or the port will never appear.

Step 1 · Connect your device

Connect your device to the computer with the USB Config Cable.
Click Scan Ports. Your browser opens a small device picker — select your USB Config Cable (it may be listed as “USB Serial”, “Prolific…” or similar) and confirm. (The first time, the browser asks permission to access the serial port — click Allow.)
Make sure the device is powered on, then click Connect.
The tool opens the port and wakes the device (sends ETS). When you see Connected and the model badge (MT700 / MT710 / MT600 / MT600-NB), you're ready.

If it doesn't connect on the first try, the tool retries automatically. If it still fails, confirm the device is powered on, re-pick the cable in the picker, and click Connect again.

Step 2 · Configure

In the Setup tab you'll set two groups: Network and Working Mode.

Network

Field	What to enter
APN	The APN of your SIM card. ⚠️ Confirm it with your SIM provider — a wrong APN stops the device from getting online.
Server & Port	The address and port of the tracking server your device should send data to (for example `demo.traccar.org : 5030`). Enter your own server here.
Region	Pick Global, USA / Canada, or Australia / NZ. This sets the correct network bands automatically.

Working modes

The working mode decides how often the device reports its location — the trade-off between tracking frequency and battery life.

MT700 / MT710

Mode	Best for	Notes
Mode 1 — Real-time	First test / live tracking	Reports at a fixed interval (10–600 s). Recommended for your first test.
Mode 7 — Smart Low Power	Most use cases	Reports when moving, sleeps when still. Good battery balance.
Mode 0 — Mix	Vibration-based	Active when vibrating, low-power when still. Slightly higher power than Mode 7.
Mode 3 — Ultra Low Power	Long-term assets	Maximum battery life; reports every 1–24 hours.

First time testing? Use Mode 1. Low-power modes sleep when the device isn't moving, which can look like the device is offline — that's normal behavior, not a fault.

Need a mode that isn't listed? Use Advanced → Advanced Command to type a MODE command directly. See the working mode guide →

MT600 / MT600-NB

MT600 devices use ACC (ignition) state instead of preset modes. You configure three reporting intervals independently:

Interval	When it applies	Range
ACC ON	Ignition is on (vehicle running or stationary with engine on)	10–65535 sec
ACC OFF — Moving	Ignition is off but the vehicle is moving (towed)	10–65535 sec
ACC OFF — Parked	Ignition is off and vehicle is stationary	2–1440 min

Step 3 · Apply & Reboot

Click the green Apply & Reboot button at the bottom.
A preview lists every command that will be sent. Review it, then click Confirm & Apply.
The tool writes each setting in order and shows the progress.
When done, the device saves and restarts automatically. The tool stays connected, so you can watch the device's boot messages live in the Device Log — no need to reconnect.

After applying, wait 2–5 minutes before checking your tracking platform. The first GPS fix can take up to 2 minutes (longer indoors), so give the device time to restart and locate itself outdoors.

If the Device Log goes quiet after the restart, the device may have gone to sleep (normal in low-power modes) — press its power button and check the blue LED.

Advanced

Debug Mode

Turns on verbose logging — useful while testing. Remember to turn it off afterward, as it increases power consumption and shortens battery life.

If the tool shows a yellow “Debug mode is ON” banner after reading your device, just click Disable Now — it turns debug off and saves immediately, without restarting the device.

Advanced Command

Send any raw command to the device (for technicians). The ETS session must be active. Note: working-mode (MODE) commands trigger an automatic save and reboot.

Factory Reset (Danger Zone)

Erases all settings and restores factory defaults. Use only when you want to start over. You must type RESET into the confirmation field before the button becomes active — this prevents accidental resets.

Import / Export configuration

Use the Import / Export buttons in the configuration header to reuse a setup across many devices.

Export saves your current settings as a command list .txt file (one command per line, in send order, with the working mode last).
Import reads such a file. The tool checks every command against the list of valid commands, shows a preview, and blocks the file if it contains anything unrecognized. Confirm the preview to apply.

A configuration file can contain any number of commands (4, 5, or 10+). For MT700/MT710 the MODE command must appear last (it saves and reboots); for MT600/MT600-NB the REBOOT command plays that role.

Device info

The Device Info tab shows the current configuration read from the device — model, IMEI, firmware, server, APN and mode. Click Read Device to refresh it.

Device Log

The Device Log panel (on the right) shows everything sent to and received from your device in real time, including the device's own boot messages.

Save — downloads the full log as a .txt file. If you ever contact support, attach this file — it helps us diagnose your issue much faster.
🕐 — toggles timestamps on screen (the saved file always includes them).
⛶ — expands the log to full screen (press Esc to close).

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
No port appears after Scan	Check the cable is fully plugged in; install/repair the USB driver; on Windows 11 see Fix the USB driver on Windows 11. On a Mac, install the PL2303 driver from the App Store, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Allow next to the blocked driver, and restart your computer — the port won't appear until you do.
Port appears but won't connect (“Could not open the port”)	On Windows 11 this is almost always the USB driver — see Fix the USB driver on Windows 11. Also close any other program that may be using the port (e.g. a serial terminal tool).
"Scan Ports" button does nothing	You're likely not in Chrome or Edge. Open this tool in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a computer.
Connects but won't wake up	Make sure the device is powered on (blue LED). Re-select the port and click Connect again.
Device doesn't show on platform after Apply	Wait 2–5 minutes; take the device outdoors for the first GPS fix; double-check the APN with your SIM provider.
Device Log goes silent after a restart	The device may have gone to sleep (normal in low-power modes). Press its power button and check that the blue LED comes on.
Battery drains fast	Turn Debug Mode off, and consider a low-power working mode (Mode 7 or 3).

Fix the USB driver on Windows 11

Use this if, on Windows 11, the tool finds the port but cannot connect (“Could not open the port”), or the port doesn't appear at all — and in Device Manager the cable shows up as “PL2303TA不支援WINDOWS 11及后续版本，请洽询购买厂商”. The cable itself is fine; Windows just loaded a driver version that doesn't support it. Switch back to the older driver:

Press Win + X on your keyboard and choose Device Manager.
Expand Ports (COM & LPT), right-click the entry named “PL2303TA不支援WINDOWS 11…”, and choose Update driver.
Choose Browse my computer for drivers.
Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
Keep Show compatible hardware ticked, select the 2015 version — Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.6.81.357 [9/4/15], then click Next.
Wait for “Windows has successfully updated your drivers”, then click Close.
The cable now shows as Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COMx) — it's fixed. Go back to the tool, click Scan Ports, then Connect.

If the problem comes back later (Windows Update can reinstall the newer driver), just repeat steps 2–6.

FAQ

Do I need to install any software?No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Just use Chrome or Edge on a computer.

Which browsers are supported?Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on desktop. Safari and Firefox don't support the USB serial feature.

Is my data sent anywhere?No. All communication happens locally between your browser and the device over USB. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I configure many devices the same way?Yes — set up one device, click Export, then Import that file on each other device.

Why does my device go "offline" in low-power modes?That's by design. In low-power modes the device sleeps when stationary and only reports periodically. For continuous tracking, use Mode 1.

Still stuck?Contact us via help.mictrack.com or the community forum.
