Telematics Guru (TG) now has a basic implementation of the CalAmp’s LM Direct protocol.
It is not possible to configure the device via TG.
CalAmp Hardware Setup:
- The device must use UDP
- Send messages to your TG server, port 8995. Server URLs for your region shown below
- It is important that the device be set to send messages in chronological sequence from oldest to newest. To make sure that this happens, all messages should be set to the same priority.
- Set the device up to report it's IMEI, and use this as the Serial when creating the asset in Telematics Guru.

Calamp record to TG value mapping:
The following three CalAmp message types are implemented:
- Event Report (2)
- Locate Report (8)
- User Data with Accumulators (9)
When possible these records have the following values mapped:
- Log Reason (event code, see Event Code Mapping table below)
- Sequence Number
- Date Time
- Altitude
- GPS Fix OK
- GPS Fix 3D
- Speed KmH
- Heading
- Latitude
- Longitude
- Inputs (from LMU Status)
- Analogues (as in Accumulator Mapping table below)
Event Code Mapping:
| Event Code | Log Reason |
| 0 | If Ignition on then “Distance Travelled” else “Heartbeat” |
| 20 | End of Trip |
| 21 | Start of Trip |
| 31, 32 | Heartbeat |
| 55 | Driver ID Read |
| [60, 81] | Input Changed |
| [90, 97] | Speed Change |
| 110 | Harsh Acceleration |
| 111 | Harsh Brake |
| 112, 113 | Harsh Cornering |
| Other | If Ignition on then “Heading Change” else “Elapsed Time” |
Accumulator Mapping:
| Accumulator ID | TG Meaning |
| 0 | Analog 1 (External Voltage) |
| 1 | Analog 2 (Battery Voltage) |
| 2 | Analog 3 (Device Analog 1 if present) |
| 6,7 | Driver Id Mapped as IButton |
| 8 | Analog 9 (RSSI ASU) |
| Other | Ignored |
