[edit] ESI protocol
ESI protocol is a simple but flexible protocol to implement on low data rate communication. ESI protocol start with # character, and separated comma text mode. General description is:
#command,<password>,<reference>,{parameter.....}
# : is to start the command command : the command to implement <password> : the password of the device <reference> : the reference number of this request
There are some important command as samples:
#setparam,<password>,<reference>,{param_name_1:value_1},{...},{param_name_n:value_n} Set parameter(s) value by their name. Example#setparam,123456,01,send_on_call:1,min_gps_mode:3, send_on_digio:0
#setparamcode,<password>,<reference>,{param_code_1:value_1},{...},{param_code_n:value_n} Set parameter(s) value by their code. Example#setparamcode,123456,01,c01:23,c02:1,u02:12345
#getparam,<password>,<reference>,{param_name_1},{...},{param_name_n} Get parameter(s) value by their name. Example#getparam,123456,22,send_on_call, min_gps_mode, send_on_digio
#getparamcode,<password>,<reference>,{param_code_1},{...},{param_code_n} Get parameter(s) value by their code. Example#getparamcode,123456,11,c01,u02,f02
