Binary Protocol Overview
This is a custom binary protocol designed for communication between device and a server. It is used in scenarios like vehicle tracking, remote diagnostics, OTA (Over The Air) updates, and device configuration. Each packet is structured with a defined header, payload, and checksum for integrity. The payload structure varies based on packet type and purpose.
Advantages of Binary Protocol
- Compact (saves bandwidth)
- Faster to transmit and parse
- Suitable for constrained environments like cellular networks (2G/4G)
Comparison with Text Protocol
- No delimiters like commas, newlines, or JSON/XML formatting
- Cannot be inspected or parsed in a terminal without a decoder
Packet Sending Modes
Packet sending modes are based on the device data update rate source selected. The update rate is speed-based.
The device can be in any of the following modes:
Motion Mode (M)
Based on the activity of Accelerometer.
Halt Mode (H)
Based on the activity of Accelerometer.
Sleep Mode (S)
Occurs immediately after Ignition off.
