LK900A device not responding to sms commands

Thomas Greiwe5 years ago

Hi,

I bought a LK900A device from Aliexpress to use it in my own traccar server.
I tried to set it up by sms, but only after the first message (admin123456 phonenumber) I sent I got a sms response (admin ok).
On all other commands there was no reply.
The device is functional. I can see the location and get alarms on lkgps.net and it reacts on sending a reboot command (rst) by sms.
I even tried using a different sim card, but the situation is the same.

I don't want to try to change IP settings for my own server when not getting any reply from device.

Has anybody faced such a problem or is there a solution to this problem?

Hi Thomas,

Actually bought this tracker and it arrived last week. Had the same issue as well. Was using an international SIM, which was roaming. I switch to a local sim and the device got responsive again. It can stop responding if the admin number was put in wrongly. Hence is why I don't use that function. What you can try is to reset is with begin123456, where 123456 is your password.

To change the server IP you need to use this command:
szcs,123456,domain=YOUR IP/DNS:PORT

Example:
szcs,123456,domain=google.com:443

The tracker will reply with:
SET IP OK! IP:google.com#443#

Hope this helps!
