1 TA255 Command Format

1.1 GPRS Command Format

The GPRS command format is as follows:

GPRS command sent from the @@<Data identifier><Data length>,<IMEI>,<Parameter table
server to the tracker No.><Command code>,<Command content><*Checksum>\r\n
GPRS command sent from the $$<Data identifier><Data length>,<IMEI>,<Event code>,<Command
tracker to the server content/Error code><*Checksum>\r\n
Command description
 @@: Indicates the packet header sent from the server to the tracker. Contains 2 characters.
 Data identifier: Contains 1 byte. The character type is hexadecimal, and its value ranges from 0x41 to
0x7A. The data identifier in the reply command must be the same as that of the sending command.
Otherwise, the command fails to be sent.
 A comma "," is used to separate data characters. The character type is the American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) (hexadecimal: 0x2C).
 Data length: Indicates the length of characters from the first separator "," to the ending character "\r\n"
(including the first separator and the ending character). The character type is decimal.
$$<Data identifier><Data length>,<IMEI>,<Command type>,<Command content><*Checksum>\r\n
 IMEI: Indicates the IMEI number of the GSM module. But the number stored on the flash memory can be
changed.
 Parameter table No.: When the parameter value is 0 or not set, all parameter tables are modified. When
the parameter value is 1, the basic parameter table is modified. When the parameter value is 2, roaming
parameter table 1 is modified.
 Command code: Consists of letters and digits. For detail, see the chapter 3 "Command Details."
 Command content: no more than 1,024 bytes.
 *: This is a fixed character. Checksum: Contains 2 hexadecimal characters; indicates the sum of characters
from the packet header "$$" to the asterisk "*" (including the packet header and asterisk).
$$<Data identifier><Data length>,<IMEI>,<Command type>,<Command content><*Checksum>\r\n
 \r\n: Contains 2 bytes. The parameter is an ending character. Hexadecimal: 0x0D 0x0A.
 $$: Indicates the packet header sent from the tracker to the server. Contains 2 bytes. Hexadecimal: 0x24
0x24.
If there are multiple commands, use the separator "," to separate them. If there is no command and the
Command content parameter is required, the separator "," needs to be remained.

1.2 Tracker Command Format

The data format is as follows:

$$<Data identifier><Data length>,<IMEI>,<Command type>,<Number of remaining cache records><Number of
data packets><Data packet 1><Data packet 2><Data packet 3>…<Data packet N><*Checksum>\r\n
There is one or multiple data packets. When there are multiple data packets, the data is stored in the form of cache
in the flash memory after the network is disconnected. After the network is connected normally, the tracker sends
the cached data to the server in batches. When there is only one data packet, it means that this is a piece of real-

3.12 Setting the Smart Sleep Mode – A73

GPRS Sending A73,Sleep level

GPRS Reply A73,OK
Description Set the automatic smart sleep mode when the device is idle.
Sleep level = 0: function disabled (default).
Sleep level = 1: normal sleep. The GSM module always works, and the GPS module
occasionally enters the sleep mode. The device works 25% longer in the normal sleep
mode than that in the normal working mode. This mode is not recommended for short
interval tracking because it will affect the route precision.
Sleep level = 2: deep sleep. If no event is triggered after five minutes, the GPS module will
stop working and the GSM module will enter the sleep mode. Once an event is triggered,
the GPS and GSM modules will be woken up. The above actions will be cycled. A heartbeat
event is triggered only in the deep sleep mode and is uploaded every one hour by default.
Triggering events include the SOS alert, low power alert for internal battery, low power
alert for external battery, external power status, GPS antenna cut-off alert, towing alert,
high temperature, low temperature, fuel theft, vehicle theft, ACC ON, (button) changes
in any input port, vibration, incoming call, SMS receiving, call, and heartbeat event (GPS
invalid during heartbeat wakeup).

GPRS Reply C40,SN1 & Number 1 & Registration result,SN2 & Number 2 & Registration result,…SNn &
Number n & Registration result
Description Commands C40 to C46 are used to read or set a temperature sensor.
Perform the following steps to connect to a temperature sensor:
1) Check whether the temperature sensor number included in GPRS data in AAA format
is 0.
2) If the number is 0, it means the temperature sensor is not numbered. Then send the
C42 command to read the mappings of sensor SNs and numbers.
3) Use the C40 command to number all sensors and bind related information in the
database, such as the IMEI number, SN, number, and customized name, so that you
can view the mappings from the platform.
4) If a high or low temperature alert is required, send the C43 command to set the
temperature threshold and customize a name. You are advised to use the installation
path as the name and save the name to the database.
5) If the sensor is pulled out or replaced when the device is online, use the C46
command to check the sensor. If data is inconsistent, use the C40 and C43 commands
to set data.
The device uploads the current temperature data by the AAA event. If the number
including in temperature data is 0, it means the temperature sensor is not registered. The
platform will automatically send the C42 command to obtain the temperature sensor SN
and number list. Then find out the sensor whose number is 0, and register it.
n: The maximum parameter value is 8.
SN: Indicates the unique number, which is used to identify the temperature sensor;

contains eight bytes; hexadecimal string. The SN is displayed on the platform like 28 1B
D5 23 04 00 00 57, which is the same as that displayed on the sensor.
Number: Contains one byte; hexadecimal. The parameter value ranges from 1 to 254.
Registration result: The parameter value is 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, and 0x04. 0x01: Registration
