Device Configuration and Testing on the Softruck Platform: Complete Guide to Configuration and Sending Commands via SMS

Updated this week

To configure and test a device on the Softruck platform, it must first be correctly registered in the tool. If this has not yet been done, you can check our tutorial: How to register a chip and device.

In this manual, we will learn how to perform this configuration via text messages (SMS), which must be sent to the number of the chip embedded in the respective equipment.

Before starting to send the configuration commands:

  • Install the SIM chip in your device.

  • Connect the equipment to a 12V power source.

  • Make sure the device is in an open area to facilitate communication.

Once this is done, send the following commands to configure your E3+ device.

Command to start the settings:

REG000000#

Command to activate SMS response:

Note: It is important to note that the APN, user, and password information must be changed with the correct information, as they vary according to the chip supplier and the operator used.

IP and port configuration command:

If the device does not communicate with the IP/port, the DNS can be set to enable this communication.
