Before you start Description How to use Request Example

Before you start

Ensure you have reviewed:

  • Welcome to the Device Manager API 
  • Device Manager ASYNC Messaging Architecture
 

Description

This triggers the device to download the latest available slot data from Device Manager. 

Slots are:

  • Firmware
  • Parameters
  • GPS Aiding Data
  • Geofence Lists
  • Driver Lists

If the device is in trip, the slots will be downloaded to the device from Device Manager, but they may not be updated (used by the device) until the end of the trip. 

How to use

This is handled automatically as part of the Device's standard connection and upload procedure with Device Manager. 

This is not required to be implemented. It may have use in specific edge-case scenarios where the device has been configured (or accidentally misconfigured) such that it remains permanently connected to the network + Device Manager.

In this scenario, this message, followed by a 0x002 Remote Restart message can be sent to ‘force’ a newly configured set of parameters to be applied.

This message can be triggered from the Device Details page within the UI.

Request Example

Example:

Body:
	{
	"MessageType":1, // 0x0001 remote reset
	"CANAddress":4294967295, //0xFFFFFFFF, HOST_ADDRESS - message to device
	"ExpiryDateUTC":"2018-07-20T18:25:43.511Z" // message expiry
	}

Payload is empty - we are only sending the message type, host address and expiry.
