2. GPRS Command Format

GPRS command packet format（from server to tracker）：
$$<pack-no><pack-len>,<ID>,<cmd-code>,<cmd-data><checksum>\r\n
GPRS command packet format（from tracker to server）：
&&<pack-no><pack-len>,<ID>,<cmd-code>,<cmd-data><checksum>\r\n
Description：
The comma (,) is a symbol used to separate each data item, and there is no space before and after the comma.
&&: It is the header of packet from tracker to server
$$: It is the header of packet from server to tracker
pack-no：Data packet number, 1 byte, calculated cyclically from 0x3A to 0x7E. When the platform receives the
request instruction from the device, or the device receives the instruction sent by the platform, and needs to reply
to the other party, the reply pack-no must be consistent with the received instruction.
pack-len: Data packet length, in decimal format, the data packet length includes the data of
",<ID>,<cmd-code>,<cmd-data>" (note: include the comma before the ID).
ID：Device ID number, the default is the IMEI number of the device.
cmd-code：Command code.
cmd-data：The content of the command data, see the description of each command in the following protocol.
checksum：Checksum of the data packet, 2 bytes, in hexadecimal format, is the cumulative sum calculation of all
the data before the checksum (&&<pack-no><pack-len>,<ID>,<cmd-code>,<cmd-data >)
\r\n：It is the ending character，<CR><LF>。
If not specified, multi-byte binary data in cmd-data use big endian format. i.e. Most significant byte first.
