If this happens, you can ask the operator to drive to a service station or send someone over to assist.How does an ELD transmit data?In addition to recording data like hours of service, an ELD can also transmit data back to a fleet manager or a Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) inspector during a roadside inspection to ensure ELD compliance. When an inspector requests data, the driver connects the ELD to an FMCSA network and enters a validation code to start the transfer via a web service. The inspector finds the ELD file and downloads the data.There are three main ways that an ELD transmits data:Web services: An inspector may request a data transfer using web services. A driver connects the ELD to an FMCSA network and enters a validation code to start the transfer. The inspector finds the ELD file and downloads the data.Bluetooth: ELDs may also transmit data via Bluetooth. A driver selects a Bluetooth data transfer option on their device and enters a code to pair it with an inspector’s laptop. Once connected, the official can find the ELD file and review it.USB: If transmitting data via web services or Bluetooth isn’t possible, an inspector can connect a USB device to the ELD, download the relevant files, and review them on their laptop.Transfers via web services are the

CTC requires user authentication for APIs, so the first call required is the login interface to validate user credentials. The login API is an HTTP POST that requires three parameters:Transmit the username and password in the body of the post.Place the application key in the header along with the Content-Type.You can see the URL, header, and body text in the example below: 📘NoteThe username and password are often the same credentials used for the admin interface; however, it is possible that some users will have API access without permissions to view the admin interface.URL = " = {'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'calamp-services-app': '' }body = {'username': , 'password': }The HTTP status for a successful login will be 200.

Please refrain from calling the CTC login API before every API call. WARNING: Be aware that if your users repeatedly call the login API instead of using the authentication token, you will be considered in violation of our fair-usage policies. Noncompliance may result in request throttling, higher-response latencies, or other such restrictions.If the authentication token becomes unexpectedly invalid, CTC will return an HTTP 401 error. The 401 error is the official indication a new login is required.After you are
