Configuration Commands
The following commands may be sent to the tracker to configure it to behave in different ways or to
requests a specific action.
6.1
ACCESS
This commands allows the password access requirement to be turned on or off for specific
communication methods. A single decimal number follows; each bit within this number relates to a
communication method and defines if a password is required before access is allowed.
If a bit is true (1) a password is required and access won’t be allowed until this is entered. If the bit is
zero then no password is required when first communicating with the tracker, via the specified method.
This command has no affect in controlling communication over GPRS. GPRS communication is initiated
by the tracker and uses a more comprehensive security method.

6.2
ADDKEY
This command is used in conjunction with the immobilisation & Validate keys feature.
Addkey adds a new key number to the driver ID key table held in non-volatile memory. The key
identifier length cannot exceed 18 characters. The key string must contain only alpha numeric
characters i.e. a-z, A-Z and 0-9.
E.g. add key 123456789
addkey,1,123456789
When a driver ID key is presented (by Dallas iButton© or other electronic key reader) the key table is
searched and if the key is found the vehicle is allowed to start via the immobilisation feature.
If the key is not found in the table the buzzer will beep (if enabled and fitted).
