Detailed Command Explanation
Unit's ID
Syrus Commands: ID, XAID
This parameter is only meaningful to the AVL software which is going to receive report
messages from the unit. It is not necessary for the unit to work but it may necessary for
making a test with an AVL software.
The unit's default behaviour is to use its IMEI number as ID, but it is possible to use a
custom ID, which is set using the ID command, and then enable using the custom ID with
the XAID command.
The unit's ID is a 10 characters maximum string that may contain any character except: ';',
'<' or '>'. The initial value is 0000. The ID is used every time the unit sends a report
message (EV) by adding the postfix ";ID=0000" to the message. This postfix gives the
AVL software information on who is sending the report.
To set the unit's Id as UNIT-0015, use:
>SIDUNIT-0015<
Warning: It is necessary to reset the unit using the >SRT< message after changing the ID
in order for the current established connections to update the new ID being used by the
unit.
IMEI as ID
Syrus Commands: ID, XAID
Syrus is configured by default to use its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)
as ID instead of a user-set value. This is useful for managing units without having to
worry about duplicated or changed IDs. It also eases the programming task as this number
is already stored on every unit. To instruct the unit to use either its IMEI as ID or the ID
set by the user with the ID command, use the XAID command in the following way:
>SXAID1< , will set the unit to use its IMEI as ID (Default setting)
>SXAID0< , will set the unit to use the user set ID
Warning: It is necessary to reset the unit using the >SRT< message after changing
the XAID setting in order for the current established connections to update the new ID
being used by the unit.
