Driver Event

(Type 616)

QTRACS supports a Global/Driver Login feature that is available on mobiles that are capable of this feature. In order to make use of this feature, the feature must be enabled at both the NMC and the QTRACS host. If the feature is enabled correctly, global login transactions will be returned from the NMC in response to periodic polling by the Communications Manager process.

QTRACS supports the routing of Driver Events to interested external applications. Each application that is defined in the QTRACS external application registry may be optionally defined to receive the Global Login Event data stream. If so defined, the Driver Event transaction will be delivered to the external application's input queue whenever a Driver event occurs. Refer to the Event Type field description for a list of the valid events that may be returned.
