To configure and test a device on the Softruck platform, it must first be properly registered in the tool. If you haven’t done this yet, you can check out our tutorial: How to register a SIM card, device, and link it to an order.
Once registration is complete, we begin the configuration process. For the Y202 GPS Tracker, this is always done via SMS, that is, by sending text messages to the SIM card number installed in the device.
Note: The SMS message must be in TXT format; it cannot be in PDU format.
Before you start sending the configuration commands:
Install the SIM card in your device.
Connect the device to a 12V power source.
It is important to note that the APN, username, and password information must be updated with the correct details for each, as they vary depending on the SIM card provider and the mobile carrier used.
Once that’s done, send the basic configuration messages to your tracker:
Command 1: APN,123456,apn.com,username,password
Command 2: IP,123456,3.220.70.203,3672
Command 3: interval,123456,30,600
Command 4: TimeZone,123456,0.0
The command [Param,123456] checks the parameters defined in the configuration. It can be sent to verify that the device has been configured correctly.
Done! Just check the device’s online status in the Softruck tool. If the device is not communicating, check the SIM card, the registered IMEI, and the settings sent.
It is important to note that for the platform to recognize the device, it must be registered properly.
