4 FUNCTIONING

4.1 Main operatng modes

4.1.1

Overview

The tracker supports up to fve diferent operatonal modes: Standby, Moton tracking, Permanent
tracking, Start/End tracking, Actvity tracking.
The mode is confgurable using confguratons parameters

For more details, please refer to the folloting chapter:

Parameters for operatonal modes

Along to the main operatng mode, the tracker can perform extra operatons knotn as side
operatons.

Notes

1i The LoRa transmission periods may not be respected due to the duty cycle nettork

constraint.

2i Event messages can also be sent depending on the confguraton of bits 6, 8 and 9 of the

config_flags

parameter. (see table in secton

event message

)

4.1.2

Standby mode

The tracker sends periodically short LoRa messages, called heartbeat, at the confgured frequency
(

lora_period

). The device positons can be obtained in this mode by using the side operatons

features (see the

side operatons

secton).

4.1.3

Moton traciing mode

The tracker provides positons at the

ul_period

frequency only then the device is moving. The

positons are given by the geolocaton strategy defned by

geoloc_sensor parameter

When the device is not moving, the positon message is replaced by the heartbeat message
transmited at the

lora_period

frequency.

The end of moton is detected then the device has not moved during a

motion_duration

delay.

4.1.4

Permanent traciing mode

The device reports its positons at the

ul_period

frequency regardless the moton. It uses the

geoloc_sensor

geolocaton technology.

Heartbeat messages are sent if there are no uplink message during

lora_period

seconds.

Note

Regular positons can also be obtained using standby mode + side operaton

periodic positon

See secton

Example

to have an example of confguraton.
