Managing The Isocket Device; Managing By Text Commands - iSocket 3G User Manual

iSocket ® 3G

4. Managing the iSocket Device

You can manage the device directly by text commands, by phone call, via apps or
manually. This new iSocket also supports Multi Texting Mode. For management via apps
please see http://isocket.me/apps

4.1 Managing by Text Commands

Commands are sent in form of SMS messages to the SIM card number of the iSocket.
Messages have the following syntax:
COMMAND
If a password was configured (see Chapter 5), then you must use following syntax:
passwordCOMMAND (for example, 12345STATUS), where 12345 is a password set
by the command PASSWORD=12345 (more details in Chapter 5).
NOTE! Commands are not case sensitive. "STATUS", "status" or "Status" will all be
processed in the same way.
There are three types of commands on device:
1. Configuration commands (marked "Conf" in the tables).
These commands configure some parameters on the device and usually (not always) have
the syntax COMMAND=VALUE, so they have symbol "=" after the command name. The
configuration can only be performed within 30 minutes after device has been powered on
or after the last configuration command has been received. If you try to configure device
after 30 minutes, then you will get the message "command – Time for configuration
expired!" (only if ERROR=ON - see Chapter 6). To disable this limitation you must
configure security on device – see Chapter 5. Settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are not lost when power is off. Each configuration command has a
default value. This is the value that was installed at the factory (for details see Chapter
13).
2. Information commands (marked "Inf" in the tables).
These commands inform you about different statuses of the device or about other
corresponding statuses, so they have information nature. If a command has a question
mark at the end (COMMAND?), then this command will inform you about current value of
the parameter, which has the same name as the command. These commands are
available at any time. Should a configuration command have different values these will all
be seen in response to the information command associated with this configuration
command. The values will be comma-separated and the current active value will be
indicated in parentheses. For example, you send the information command "COMMAND?".
In response you will get the reply "COMMAND=VALUE1,(VALUE2)". This means that the
current active value is "VALUE2", and "VALUE1" is another value acceptable for this
command. This syntax is made for your convenience - you do not need to refer to the
manual each time when to remember all possible values. They will be given in the
response. The first value in the response is the factory default value (see Chapter 13).
