5 Operation

5.1 Setting on Tracker

On tracker side, reader’s operation includes below ones. NOTE: the SMS command described in the
following chapter without SMS password protection.

5.1.1 Authorizing RFID Tag(s)

Maximally, tracker supports 200 authorized tags. Using the following SMS command to do this
operation:
SMS command: RFIDADD,<rfid_num1>,<rfid_num2>…<rfid_numN>#
Reply: RFIDADD,OK
While rfid_num[1,N] are the RFID tags’ number to be authorized. Tag’s number can be read from laser
code as below:

To authorize RFID/iButton tags in batches, use the following SMS command:

SMS command: RFIDADD#
Reply: RFIDADD,OK
After receiving the command, tracker will regard all read RFID tags as authorized ones in 3 minutes.

www.iconcox.com
 www.iconcox.com
During these 3 minutes, tracker will not generate “Login” or “Log out” alarm when tag(s) read, and
tag’s number will not be uploaded to server. It is suitable for official operation.

5.1.2 Delete Authorized RFID Tag(s)

To delete authorized RFID tag(s), using the following SMS command:

SMS command: RFIDDEL,<rfid_num1>,<rfid_num2>…<rfid_numN>#
Reply: RFIDDEL,OK
While rfid_num[1,N] are the RFID tags’ number to be deleted.

To delete all RFID tags, using the following SMS command:

SMS command: RFIDDEL,ALL#
Reply: RFIDDEL,OK
NOTE: “ALL” should be in upper case

To delete tags in batches, using the following SMS command:

SMS command: RFIDDEL#
Reply: RFIDDEL,OK
After receiving the command, tracker will delete tags, which are read in 3 minutes. During these 3
minutes, tracker will not generate “Login” or “Log out” alarm when tag(s) read, and tag’s number will
not be uploaded to server.

5.1.3 Tag Operation Logic

After swiping tag, tracker generates “Login” or “Log out” alarm, the logic as below:

 If none tag is authorized, all tags are regarded as authorized ones.

 If current tag number recorded in tracker is empty, swiping authorized tag-A, tracker generates

“Login” alarm with tag-A number, and then, tracker uploads position package with tag-A’s
number.

 If current tag number recorded in tracker is empty, swiping unauthorized tag, tracker does

nothing to this tag’s number.

 If current tag number recorded in tracker is not empty, swiping the same tag, tracker generates

“Log out” alarm, and then, uploads position package with empty tag number.

 If current tag number recorded in tracker is not empty (assumed as id0), swiping authorized

tag-A whose number is id1 (id1 != id0), tracker generates “Log out” with id0, and generates

“Login” with id1. After that, tracker uploads position package with id1.

5.1.4 Control Engine

In actual usage, user can use RFID/iButton tag to control vehicle, usually, control engine with external

relay. As a result, when the authorized driver swipes tag, tracker will unlock engine, otherwise, lock

the engine. Setting RFIDCTL command to achieve vehicle control:

SMS command: RFIDCTL,<ctl-out>,<acc-off-logout>#

SMS reply : RFIDCTL,OK

 ctl-out: Enable/Disable auto engine control, 1(default)~enable; 0~disable. After enable, tracker

will unlock engine via OUTPUT1 when login, and lock engine when logout. This feature needs
external relay connect with OUTPUT1.

 acc-off-logout: 1(default)~Setting logout status automatically when ACC OFF; 0~Keeping login

status when ACC OFF, until next RFID/iButton tag swiping

 The setting is used with RFID/iButton accessory

For Example:

SMS command: RFIDCTL,1,1#

SMS reply : RFIDCTL,OK

After this command sent, tracker enables RFID/iButton control engine function. When authorized tag
swiped, tracker generates “Login” alarm and unlocks engine. When ACC OFF, tracker generates “Log

Out” alarm and locks engine automatically.

5.2 Setting on Platform (Gurtam Platform)

Setting on platform includes:

 Add global driver information
