[Rut955] Access GPS data over TCP

[Arnaud]

Hi there,

I’m deeply sorry if the question has already been asked, but I have to admit I’m getting lost between old posts and protocols: Is it possible to access the router GPS data using a device on the LAN, over TCP (or something similar ?) . I’ve bought the router seeing I could equip a SIM card and that it had a GPS service, and thought I could read the GPS with a simple request (the router being the server). All I found is that the router could forward the data to a http server.
Thanks for your time,

Arnaud.

Hello,

For GPS data (excluding HTTP), you can use NMEA forwarding to send data, for example, to the Hercules app. With AVL, you can send data to apps like the Teltonika Data Parser app.

For more information and configuration examples related to GPS on the RUT955, you can visit our wiki page RUT955 GPS - Teltonika Networks Wiki.

Hi, thanks for your help and time. If i understand correctly, there is no possibility for me to use a script where I would, let’s say, every 10 sec, send a request to the RUT955 device and get the GPS data back ?

I do not have any server with a permanent adress in the car, which mean I would have to update the NMEA forwarding regularly…

Thanks again,

Arnaud.

Hello,

You can create a custom script for collecting GPS data using the gpsctl commands. To understand what gpsctl is capable of, connect to your RUT955 via CLI and execute the command gpsctl -h . To schedule the script to run, for example every 10 seconds, you can add it to the Crontab file.

For script writing guidance, you can refer to examples on our wiki page: User Scripts examples - Teltonika Networks Wiki.
