Step-by-step instructions for connecting the tracker to GPS-Trace

Step 1: Create an account

Create an account in the GPS-Trace system using the web version of the platform or one of the mobile applications for personal use. After creating an account, do not forget to confirm your email address using the link from the letter that will be sent to you after registration.

Step 2: Creating an Unit

• Click on the + icon
• Select device type
• Enter your tracker ID
• Click on the “Save” button.

Step 3: Tracker configuration

• Configure the APN according to the provider of the SIM card used in the tracker.

SMS command: APN*aa*xx*yy

“aa” - the name of telecom operator, 
“xx” - the username 
“yy”-  the password. 

For example, APN*pepper*abc*abc
If the username and password is 4 blank, you cannot omit the “*”, so SMS command in this case will be APN*aa** 

• Configure the server and port to the server address (IP or DNS) and port specified when creating the unit. Subsequently, it can be specified in the unit settings in the Hardware section.

SMS command: IP1#IP address#port# or DNS#name#[port#]

For example, IP1#185.213.2.30#26620#

• Set Time Zone 0 (UTC)

To work on the GPS-Trace platform, the tracker must be set to the time zone 0 (UTC).

SMS command: TZEn or TZWn (time zone east / time zone west) 
“n” is the number of time zone.

For example, TZW0

As soon as you make the necessary settings and your tracker starts sending data to GPS-Trace, the user will be able to see the unit on the map and track its movements.
