Send Command

The Send Command feature enables users to remotely send specific commands to the GPS devices installed in vehicles. This functionality allows for the execution of various actions or configurations on the device via GPRS.

There are two ways to send commands to the device: SMS Commands (SMS Service Configuration is required) and GPRS commands.

The users have the ability to send these commands from two different screens on the platform: the Send command screen and the Live tracking screen.
