- Use the 10-digit ID from the Basic information section as the unique ID in Wialon. It is also specified on the device case.
Once you have set an authorized phone number, you can configure the device using SMS commands.

(P06,1,IP,21222,APN,APNuser,APNpass)To set the server address and APN for SIM2:
(P06,3,IP,21222,APN,APNuser,APNpass)To set the message-sending frequency (every 60 seconds after waking up, every 30 minutes when in sleep mode):

Specific details
When using the device, consider the following specific details:
- Make sure the switch on the plate is set to On.
- The device can be unlocked in several ways:
- authorized RFID card;
- remote_unlock command from Wialon;
- SMS command.
You can use two SIM cards with this device. The device records the APN corresponding to each SIM card slot (APN1 and APN2 are linked to the respective SIM card slots). When it goes online for the first time, it connects to the primary IP1 and port. After three failed attempts, it switches to connect to IP2 and the port.
When two SIM cards are installed, the JT701D device uses one SIM card at a time. If one SIM card is active, the other SIM card remains inactive.
