I am new to the Sierra Wireless Platform, we have used Cradlepoint and other GPS modem products in the past. My question I hope is a simple one.
With my GX440, I am sending GPS NEMA data to a remote IP address. The remote IP will be a production server we are using to capture GPS information from mulitple devices. Parsing this information is fairly simple, and we have mixed deployments of device types, where some are completely unattended by a laptop or user.
My issue is in sending a device ID along with GPS to the remote server. Below is the data I am receiving. The $DEVID string appears to be Hex, but I cannot figure out how to derive the ESN or PhoneNum that associates with this string. Can someone please provide some direction? My server side app is c# if it matters. I can set the GX device to use ESN or Phone, but it creates the value below to send with the data instead of the raw or plain text ESN or Phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
