»
IP address: Your tracking provider will advise you what IP address setting
to use. An example is: 123.123.5.6.
»
IP port: Your tracking provider will advise you what IP port number to use.
An example is: 12021.
»
IP Timeout Profile: There are three possible settings; Short, Medium
(default) and Long. The IP timeout configures the delay used to wait on
the connection to the IP gateway from the tracking provider when
attempting to send the messages. The shorter the delay, the faster the
tracking system will fall back onto another network service to send
tracking messages if transmission over IP fails. Setting this to Long will
make the system more resilient and will maximise the use of tracking over
IP when the connection is poor, but this setting could also result in
messages taking longer to send.
Configuring Periodic Events
The DZMx Plus can be configured to send position reports at designated intervals, depending
on aircraft activity. The following events or timers can be configured individually:
»
Periodic Timer: The time, in minutes, between sending automated position reports
while in flight (15 seconds for HD tracking)
»
On Ground Timer: The time, in minutes, between sending automated position
reports while on the ground (not in flight)
»
Taxiing Timer: The time, in minutes, between sending automated position reports
while taxiing.
»
Hover Timer: The time, in minutes, between sending automated position reports
while hovering. Hover events will replace the periodic events when they are due to
be sent. Hovering can only be reported for a helicopter which has a collective or
weight on wheels switch to detect take-off and landing. The hover timer cannot be
enabled if using speed only.
»
Heading Timer: The minimum time, in minutes, between position reports when the
aircraft is changing heading.
To Change the Interval for the Selected Timer:
1.
Using DZMx Connect. Go to Settings > Tracking > Periodic. Select the
required periodic timer settings. Select DONE
2.
Using the DZMx Plus Control Head. Press MENU > Tracking> Periodic
Events > Periodic Timer (mins) > press ENTER. Use the LEFT key to reduce
the interval and the RIGHT key to increase the interval. The intervals are
displayed in minutes. Press the ENTER key to save the setting. Press END
return to the main screen.
