Quick SMS configuration

Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and data usage.
Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it: 

"  setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0"

GPRS settings:

  • 2001 – APN
  • 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
  • 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)

Server settings:

  • 2004 – Domain
  • 2005 – Port
  • 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.

 
Default configuration settings
Movement and ignition detection:
  Vehicle movement will be detected by accelerometer   Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 13,2 – 30 V
Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen:
  300 seconds passes   Vehicle turns 10° degrees
  Vehicle drives 100 meters   Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h
Device makes a record On Stop if:
  1 hour passes while vehicle is stationary and ignition is off
Records sending to server:
