SMS command: dns+password+space+DNS domain name+space+port
Tracker response: dns success!
Example : dns123456 tracker.baanooliot.com 8090
Note:
If you want to configure IP instead of DNS, then please send SMS command: “adminip+password+space+IP+space+port”

GPRS mode
SMS command: GPRS+password
Tracker response: GPRS OK! (It means it has been switched to GPRS mode.)

Function Details

The following setting functions can be set through the APP or web version.

Changing Password
SMS command: password+oldpassword+space+new password Tracker response: password OK
Be sure to keep the new password in mind, you have to flash the firmware to restore the initialized setting in case of losing the new password
Attention: Make sure the new password is in 6 digits Arabic numbers, otherwise the tracker cannot recognize it.

Authorization
Up to 5 numbers can be authorized.
call the tracker 10 times in succession, the number will be authorize automatically as the first number and tracker response “add master ok”
SMS command: admin+password+space+mobile phone number , Tracker response: admin ok。
SMS command: noadmin+password+space+authorized number Tracker response: noadmin ok
If you want to receive these kinds of notification alerts when the trackers moved to another country, you must put the country code before the phone number to authorize it in international format, If there is a “0” before your phone number, please remove the “0”, for example, admin123456 008613322221111, then 13322221111 had been configure to authorization number。

Single Tracking
If there aren’t any authorized numbers set-up, it will reply all calls with a location report; if there are authorized numbers set-up, then it will not respond when an unauthorized number calls it。
If you call it from authorized phone number, it will hang up and report a real-time location as below：

When it lost fix to satellites, the message will include the last known GPS position and a LAC code of the updated position as well。
SMS Command: position+password，The function is the same as 10.3.2

Sleep tracking strategy

sleep; Calling can wake it up, vibration cannot wake up, GPS module shuts down when motionless and no need to track in GPRS mode.| The target doesn’t need to be tracked frequently and can track it any time when necessary.| **** About120days
Sleep by shock| GSM module runs in low power consumption when sleep; vibration and calling canwake it up.| Sleep when it is motionless, and track whenstart to move| **** About120days
**No sleep (Always online)| GPRS is always online, tracker will be intelligent to shuts down GPS module during the period which doesn’t need totrack.| Real time tracking| ****About12days
****Deepshock| GSM module shuts down when sleep; calling cannot be reached, vibration can wake it up.| Sleep if the target is motionless, and track when the target start tomove| ****About210days
****Deepschedule| GSM module shuts down when sleep; calling cannot be reached, but it will wake by itself to report its position according to the scheduled time| The target doesn’t need to be tracked frequently and let it report positions according tothe schedules.| ****About210days**

* The above standby time measured by the laboratory is for reference only.In practice, there may be some differences due to the different gsm or gps signal strength, positioning frequency and wake frequency.
