1.1 1.1. SMS Commands

The SMS command structure is the following: <password> <command> <command text>

The password, command and command text are separated by a space symbol. Command text
parameters are separated by a comma. 

The password can contain up to 16 symbols and cannot match any SMS commands names. The
following symbols can be used:
· All digits (0-9)
· Letters A-Z (both lowercase and uppercase)

· Characters _, @, #, /, %, - 

It is possible to include IDs in the SMS commands so that the server knows to which SMS command the
device responds. To do so, the Use ID in SMS commands functionality must be enabled in the
configuration. If the functionality is enabled, the ID must be included in all SMS commands, otherwise the
commands will not be processed.

The SMS command structure with the included ID: <password> <command> <command text> ID<ID
string>

Where:

<ID string> – a 16-32 hexadecimal symbol tag.

Example: password reset ID575D6468E934C867

Response: Resetting device ID575D6468E934C867

The ID must be unique. If the device receives several SMS commands with the same ID, only
the first one will be processed. 

The SMS commands gsminfo, getapn and accreset r will not return an ID.

The getlog command is used to initiate the logging process. The stoplog command is used to stop the log
sending to a server. When the device gets the getlog command, it should open a link with the defined
server and send the log according to the defined mode. All other tracking device processes (e.g. records
sending, peripheral device communication) will keep working. Only a device restart can stop the log data
sending process.

The log will be sent as ASCII. The log starts from device type HCV/LCV/PRO, selected mode, defined time,
bootloader version, firmware version, hardware version, GSM signal level, and Voltage status: 0 – lower
than 8 Volts (bad), 1 – higher than 8 Volts (OK) and device IMEI.

Example of the sent log: FMTco4 HCV, 100.101.102.103:1111, mode=1, time=3min;

version:472C,00.02.25.21,431,26,1; imei:868324027387005

Command Structure
getlog SMS command structure: <password> getlog <IP>,<Port>,<Mode>,<Time>

Where:

<IP> 32-bit number, commonly known as an Internet Protocol address

(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

<Port> 16-bit number, commonly known as the port number (xxxxx).

<Mode> Sends a full log to a server and has the value 1.

<Time> The time period for log sending. Defined in minutes. Range: 1-60
minutes.

stoplog SMS command structure: <password> stoplog

Command Example
getlog SMS command example: password getlog 100.101.102.103,1111,1,15

44
 

Responses
If getlog SMS format is correct: getlog ok

If getlog SMS format is incorrect: getlog data incorrect

If the logging proces is already running, the device will respond: getlog already running

When device gets the stoplog command and log sending is in progress, it should stop sending log to a
server and reply: stoplog ok

If device gets the stoplog command and the log is not running: getlog already stopped

In some cases, remote debug might have to log the data about many different events and
processes. This would force remote debug to generate large internal data streams and the
device might not be able to send it all via GPRS. This might lead to data loss.

This SMS command is used to get information about when the last time the device configuration or
primary server IP was changed.

The date and time of the configuration change will be updated during any type of configuration
modification. 

When the device is connecting to GPRS and tries to open a link (with different IP settings), the
date and time of the IP change will be updated. When the device reconnects to a server with the
same IP but a different port, the date and time of the IP change will not be updated. 

The latest changes are tracked when the internal device clock is synchronized (upon GNSS
fix, synchronizing with an NTP server, or connecting to a mobile network).

This SMS command is used to automatically select a correct LCV group and LCV subgroup combination.
The LCV Autoselect functionality reads and analyses the CANbus line data, then searches for a match
within its LCV profile database and selects the best possible configuration.

The following parameters are considered as high importance, which has greater significance during the
auto-selection process and can be included into the SMS command: Fuel, Vehicle distance, RPM, Wheel
based speed. Additionally, you can add an optional parameter to enable all possible IOs for the selected
LCV group on the active profile, after the process of LCV group selection is complete.

For the 4th generation devices, tick the Enable I/Os checkbox in the advanced configurator
before sending the SMS command. 

Enough free IO slots must be available (the needed number varies, depending on the vehicle). 

Activation

The following criteria must be met:

1. The engine is turned on.

2. The vehicle is not moving.
3. One or both CAN interfaces are connected to the vehicle’s CANbus lines.
4. One of the following must be configured:
o On both CAN interfaces LCV mode is selected (LCV group with dual channel)
o On one CAN interface LCV mode is selected and the other CAN interface is disabled.
o On one CAN interface LCV mode is selected and the other CAN interface is set to Tacho
read, MobilEye or Trailers.
o Both CAN interfaces are disabled. 

The LCV Autoselect functionality works only with light vehicles. Also, the Active CAN mode is
unavailable and as a result, Toyota, Truck, Tractor, Claas and Komatsu LCV groups are excluded
from the selection process.   

59
The LCV Autoselect functionality does not guarantee that all supported CAN IO parameters for
the selected LCV group and subgroup will be available for a specific vehicle.

Command Structure
SMS command structure: <password> lcvselect <distance>,<RPM>,<enableIO>

Where:

<distance> Distance travelled by a vehicle, which is currently displayed by the

vehicle's odometer.
Note: Make sure to enter the same value, it has to be a number. Error
cannot exceed ± 1 km. Maximum value, which could be sent via SMS is
21055406 km.
<RPM> RPM value currently displayed in the vehicle's dashboard.
Note: Make sure to enter the same value, it has to be a natural number.
Error cannot exceed ± 100 rev/min. Maximum value, which could be sent
via SMS is 8031 rev/min.
<enableIO> The parameter, which automatically enables IOs for the automatically
selected LCV group. If the parameter is not included or a 0 is written, then
the function will not automatically enable the IO parameters. If 1 is
written, IOs will be enabled if the conditions are met.
  

The enableIO parameters can be enabled only in the active profiles. These parameters might
interfere with the IO list configuration. 

Command Examples
SMS command example: password lcvselect 10200,900,1

Other examples:

If you do not want to send distance and RPM values via SMS: password lcvselect ,

If you want to send only the RPM value: password lcvselect ,RPM

If you want to send only the vehicle distance value: password lcvselect distance,

If you do not want to send distance and RPM values via SMS, but enable automatic IO selection: password

This SMS command allows the tracking device to switch DOUT for a temporary period. After this
command is completed, the tracking device stores the DOUT status. If several commands are sent after
each other, then an interruption will occur and the state will then be undefined.

If you will send several commands in a row too fast, the DOUT will get stuck and the tracking
device will need to be restarted. We highly recommend you to wait at least until a response is
received for the first sent command, before sending the next.

The minimum impulse resolution is 10 ms and the minimum duration is 10 ms. If the Eco-panel is
connected, the minimum resolution and duration is 50 ms.

Each single DOUT has 10 slots for impulses levels.

Pro5 Lite

This SMS command is used to set a specific LCV group, subgroup and additionally enable IOs which are
assigned to this group.

All LCV Group names and subgroup numbers are identical to those in the configurator. The only
exception is the Caterpillar subgroup, which does not have a number in the configurator. In this
case the <Group_name> would be tractor and <Sub_Group_number> - 2. 

For the 4th generation devices Protocol v1.1 must be enabled in the advanced configurator. 

There must be enough free IO slots to enable the parameters. 

The LCV group and IOs will be set only on the currently active profile. 

Command Structure
SMS command structure: <password> setlcv
<Group_Name>,<Sub_Group_number>,<CAN_interface_number>,<Silent/Active>,
<Channel_X>,<Additional_CAN_interface>

Where:

<Group_name> LCV group name. This parameter is mandatory.

<Sub_Group_number> LCV subgroup number. This parameter is mandatory.

Note: Only the subgroup number is used.
<CAN_interface_number> CAN interface on which the selected parameters will be configured:
· CAN1 – 1
· CAN2 – 2
<Silent/Active> Set the enabled CAN interface to either Active or Silent:
· Silent – 0
· Active – 1

82
Default value: Silent.
<Channel_X> Set the Channel for the CAN interfaces. The Channel setting is used
when two separate physical connections must be made to receive all
parameters from a LCV group/subgroup:
· Channel1 – 1;
· Channel2 – 2
Default value: 1.
<Additional_CAN_interface> Specify whether to enable the other CAN interface:
· Not activate – 0;
· Activate – 1.
Default value: Not active.

Command Examples
SMS command examples:

password setlcv vag,17,1,0,2,1 – VAG17 subgroup will be enabled on CAN1 interface, silent mode on
CAN1 and CAN2, CAN1 will be enabled on Channel 2, CAN2 will also be enabled on Channel 1.

password setlcv VAG,17,2 – VAG17 subgroup will be enabled on CAN2 interface, all other parameters are
set to default settings.

Responses
Response example if everything is ok: Configured group: VAG17, I/O elements enabled.

If the LCV subgroup was set, but there are not enough free IO slots to enable all the IO parameters for
this subgroup: Configured group: VAG17, Error: Not enough I/O slots.

If the LCV subgroup was set, but Protocol v1.1 is not enabled, so no parameters are enabled at all:
Configure group: VAG17, Error: old I/O protocol is used.

If an incorrect group name, subgroup number, or value was provided for one of the parameters: Error:
unknown parameter.

If the device is currently in the process of LCV auto select, during which the user cannot set a LCV group
or enable IO parameters: Error: LCV auto select still in progress.

If an incompatible LCV mode is configured on a CAN interface: Wrong CAN configuration.

If the LCV group contains more than 80 IO parameters: Configured group: Tractor2, Error: Not enough
I/O slots.

GSM network operators are providing various services via USSD communication. Support of the USSD
commands allows users to send various USSD requests to the GSM operator over the tracking device and
receive answers. In this case the device operates in the transparent channel principle.

Operation principles

· USSD command is received through the SMS and then passed to the modem;
· USSD command is not affected or ignored by ongoing firmware, configuration updates, or
tachograph and smart card reading.
· After getting the response, the device transmits the answer to the sender of the SMS;
· A timeout of 120 seconds is used when waiting for the response from the GSM operator.

Command Structure
SMS command structure: <password> ussd *command#

Where command is a set of digits and asterisk symbols (*). The command always begins with an asterisk
symbol * and is terminated by #. Inside, the command can have several asterisk symbols.

Command Examples
Correct SMS command examples:

password ussd *485#

password ussd *52*452*4#

Incorrect command examples:

password ussd 52#

password ussd *45

password ussd *5 65#

Responses
If the operator responds to the ussd command within 120 seconds: ussd response

If * or # symbols are missing or command is blank in the request message: ussd bad format

If the response is not received from the operator within 120 seconds: ussd timeout

If there is an error with the GSM network operator: ussd modem error

If required, you can receive an SMS alert with date and time, which will notify if one of the configured
events is triggered: GPS speed, power supply voltage, autogeofence alert DIN1, DIN2, DIN3, DIN4
(ignition).

To receive such alerts, the SMS Alert Number functionality must be configured in the advanced
configurator. Follow these steps:

1. Click Options button in the Authorized numbers section to open the Numbers window.
2. In the SMS Alert Number field enter the number, where the alerts will be sent.

The + sign has to be replaced with 00. 

3. Close the Numbers window and click the Options button in the IO events section.
4. Set one of the events:
· All DINs – Event on is set to Change
· Power supply voltage – Event on is set to Hysteresis (On Both or On Falling)
· GPS speed – Event on is set to Hysteresis (On Both or OnRising)
· Autogeofence alert – Event on is set to Change
5. Tick the SMS Alert checkbox.
6. If required, enter the custom message in the Event on high and Event on low fields.

103
If the device was out of the GSM coverage, it will accumulate events that will be sent as soon as
the GSM connectivity is restored. The tracking device can store up to 16 events. If the 16 event
threshold is reached, the device will start to overwrite oldest events. A report of all events will be
sent in ONE message (as many, that can fit in 160 characters). Multiple events in one SMS
message will be delimited by a semicolon symbol ;.
