ATrack - encryption and extra fields

AES Encryption

The Key used by AES Encryption needs to be set in 'AES Encryption Key' Meta Field, available for all ATrack devices.

All devices which use same Device Mapper will also use 'AES Encryption Key'.

In case if you need to have a different key for the same device type, another device type needs to be created in Site Admin which will have a different Key.

 

Enabling extra fields using AT$FORM, AT$FMSC and AT$SATC commands

Method 1

This method is only supported for the ASCII protocol.

Read more about ASCII and binary format here.

1. Make sure you have a firmware version that supports "%CI". Check with ATrack.
2. Include %CI in your AT$FORM command

Example: AT$FORM=0,,1,"%CI%SA"

Now GpsGate will understand the extra fields set to the server.

3. If there are any signals missing in the device mapper for the device type, please contact support to add them.

Method 2

This method supports both Binary and ASCII protocol.

Read more about ASCII and binary format here.

1. Edit the Device Type in Site Admin
-> Login to SiteAdmin
-> Go to Devices (top menu)
-> Go to Types (left menu)
-> Select Device Type in drop downs.
-> Scroll down.

2. Enter the same format string that you send to the device as the "AT$FORM" value.

Sample AT$FORM Value:
AT$FORM=0,,1,"%SA"

Now GpsGate will understand the extra fields set to the server.

3. If there are any signals missing in the device mapper for the device type, please contact support to add them.

NOTE! You also need to send the AT$FORM string to the device!
NOTE! For Iridium use AT$SATC instead.
NOTE! For FMS use AT$FMSC.
