17H (GEO Information)

When the terminal detects entering or exiting Geo-fence according to the settings of the AT@GEO command, it will use this message to report to the backend server.

The frame format of a report that only carries 17H record is as follows:

For example (Total 60 bytes):
2B 00 00 3C 00 01 23 45 67 89 01 23 45 C0 31 00 0A 00 00 25 66 8E 47 F7 00 00 17 01 5C 02 01 00 52 16 09 F9 20 A8 E1 FF 2D C0 96 5F 17 9D A0 01 7D 0A 00 25 00 01 B3 0C 01 23 E3 24

  • Event Code

    • 01H - The terminal enters the Geo-fence area.

    • 02H - The terminal exits the Geo-fence area.

  • Data of Record

    It consists of one or more Data ID units.

    By default, this record contains only the data IDs listed below, which can be changed by the AT@QRC command described below.

Configuration

The parameters related to the generation and transmission of 17H record are controlled by the following QRC command:

Example:
AT@QRC=gl601###,17,,,1,2|88,0,012F$
+ACK:QRC,123456789012345,C031,10,0,17,012F,20210407101530,1234$
AT@QRC?gl601###,17,0C37$

  • Record ID

    Which record to configure. Always “17” here.

  • Action

    • Empty - No change the data IDs in the terminal. If this field is empty, the ‘Data IDs’ field will be ignored.

    • 0 - Append the data IDs carried in the ‘Data IDs’ field to the terminal.

    • 1 - Replace the data IDs in the terminal with the data IDs carried by the ‘Data IDs’ field.

    • 2 - Clear the data IDs carried in the ‘Data IDs’ field from the terminal.

    Note: In particular, it always will be 1 when reading this field.

  • Data IDs

    The data IDs contained in the 17H record. The characters ‘|’ are used to connect each data ID.

    For example, “2|88” means Data 2 (Device Name) and Data 88 (SIM Card).

  • Ignore Event When Geo-fence Initialed

    • 0 - Not ignore. An event is detected when the Geo-fence is initialized, the terminal does not ignore this event and will generate a Rocord 17H.

    • 1 - Ignore. An event is detected when the Geo-fence is initialized, the terminal ignores this event and will not generate a Rocord 17H.

    In other words, in mode 0 (Not ignore), when the terminal receives the AT@GEO command to enable Geo-fence detection, and if the current location meets the detection condition, the terminal will immediately generate a Rocord 17H, while mode 1 (Ignore) will not.
