Getting Started
Support Site Getting Started Section
On the DCT support site (support.digitalcomtech.com) upon registering you have the
option to visit the getting started page. We recommend you go here first and refer to the
following for examples on how to further configure the device and get started
programming. Also we recommend using Syrus Desk software and test all these commands
so you can see first-hand how the device responds.
Setting the unit's ID
The default Syrus behavior is to use the unit's IMEI as ID. It is recommended to use this
setting as the IMEI is unique for each unit. However it is possible to use a user defined ID in
order for the unit to be identified on the AVL server. The default value for the unit's ID is
0000. This field may be any string of 10 characters maximum.
For this example let’s call our unit EXAMPLE:
>SIDEXAMPLE<
To enable the unit to use the user defined ID, use:
>SXAID0<
To disable the use of user defined ID and instead use the IMEI of the device as the ID, use:
>SXAID1<
Setting the APN and PIN
After configuring an ID, the next step is enabling the unit on the GSM/GPRS network. For
this an APN provided by the cellular carrier is required and depending on the SIM card
configuration a PIN value could also be required. For this example we will use
APN internet.carrier-name.com and PIN 1234.
Setting the SIM card's PIN:
>SRFI1234<
If your SIM card does not requires a PIN you can omit this step.
Setting the APN:
>SRFAinternet.carrier-name.com<
