Enable Iridium uploads for when an Iridium Edge is connected to a G120. Alter Iridium-specific logging settings including in trip log intervals and heartbeats to manage data usage. Configure Network Registration Timeouts and the strategy the device uses to balance getting connected and conserving power when out of coverage. Tracking Behaviors - Parameter Examples Parameter Description Accelerometer Settings Configure the intensity and duration of vibration which will begin a trip or and Wakeup Behavior prompt GPS checks. After Hours Set After Hours start and end days and times with alternate reporting behaviors. Bluetooth Tag and Sensor Set Bluetooth scanning parameters i.e. scanning on trip start/end/in-trip, Scanning which tags to scan for, and more.

Customize numerous 'In Trip' logging features including frequency of device logging, heading change logging, and more. Enable/Disable log triggers such as start of trip, end of trip, and more. Tracking Behaviors continued Parameter Recovery Mode Run Detection Scheduled Uploads Tamper Detection Tip Detection Tracking Modes Description Configure the behavior of the device while in Recovery Mode (live tracking, logging interval, and more). Configure trips to begin and end based on changes in external voltage (asset battery voltage). Configure uploads to occur at specific times of the day, such as shift changes. Configure alerts if a device is removed from an asset activating the magnetic tamper sensor. Configure logging and upload behavior when device is tilted beyond a user-defined threshold. Configure device to report on set time intervals and/or when movement occurs - GPS or accelerometer based. Connect more www.digitalmatter.com Copyright © Digital Matter 2023. All Rights Reserved.
