1 Introduction

TR-203 is a tracker that can track the location of the elderly, children, pets, and
vehicles.
It can apply for fleet management, looking for lost children, elderly care, and
lost pets.

This document describes the communication protocol between TR-203 tracker
and server, the built-in behavior modes of TR-203, and the function of each
parameter.

It can help system integration developer to develop back-end system in the
shortest time.

IMEI (The IMEI number) GSM device ID

T ‘0’ : Middle of message

Checksum The checksum value is derived by the same

method of NMEA standard. It is calculated by
‘exclusive OR’ the 8 data bits of each character
before “*” in the sentence, but excluding “*”.
The hexadecimal value of the most significant
and least significant 4 bits of the result are
converted to two ASCII characters (0-9, A-F) for
transmission. The most significant character is
transmitted first.

2.7 Configuration Parameters

Most behaviors of TR-203 could be changed by Configuration Parameters. You
could change the setting of configuration parameters by the following methods.

1. Connect TR-203 to personal computer via USB cable and then set the
configuration parameters by “TR203 Config Tool.”

2. Send the “GSS,….!” setting with the configuration parameters to TR-203

3. Send the “GSC,….!” command with the configuration parameters to TR-203

All the settings or commands could be sent by SMS or TCP or UDP.
You could also send L1 command to read the present setting of TR-203.
