Geofences
The Terminal allows setting areas where coordinates are not updated, the GSM-unit is switched off. It is
also possible to set periodical camera shooting (PhotoCfg command, section Digital inputs settings). Each
area is described by the coordinates of the center and by
the radius. Geofences’ setting commands are
given in section Track parameters setting.

Power saving
To reduce power consumption of the Terminal in the operating mode, perform the following steps:
1.
For RS232 port, execute RS2320 0 command or specify
peripheral type as
"nothing” in the
Configurator.
2.
Turn off the integrated CAN-controller if the Terminal is not connected to a CAN-bus. This can be
performed by
using CANREGIME command with the first parameter set to 0, or by specifying "CAN
disabled" as the Filter type in the Configurator.
3.
Turn off the Autoinformer when it is not used. This can be done by sending AUTOINFORMER
command with the first parameter set to 0, or by unticking the "Autoinformer" section of the
Configurator.
4.
Reduce the degree of track details. The lower this degree, the less the power consumption.
To reduce power consumption of the Terminal at a stop, perform the following steps:
1.
Set up the shutdown of the GPS/GLONASS unit at a stop, this can be performed by using
SLEEPMODE command (section
Service commands
) or on the Power saving tab in the Configurator.
2.
Enable the deep sleep mode at a stop. The deep sleep mode is turned on at the end of a pre-
specified time period at a stop. In this mode the Terminal disables the specified modules (GPRS,
CAN, RS232, RS485, micro-SD), reduces the ADC sampling rate, does not sample 1Wire sensors and
does not charge the battery. The behaviour in the deep sleep mode can be configured by using
SLEEPMODE command (section Service commands) or on the Power saving tab of the Configurator.
It is possible to setup a period of connection to a server in the deep sleep mode.
7.16
Remote configuration
Remote configuration can be performed through several data transfer channels:
1.
SMS. The Terminal has a list of 4 authorized phone numbers, the messages from which are treated
as configuration commands. The available commands are described in the section Settings for SMS
control. A phone number can be added to the list of authorized numbers either through the
Configurator, or by sending a message with AddPhone command (section Settings for SMS control).
2.
GPRS. Commands can be sent from the monitoring data processing server. The format of the
commands is described in the section Server exchange protocol.
3.
GPRS. For devices with the SIM900 or SIM900R GSM-unit commands can be sent via the
Configurator and the remote configuration server of GalileoSky Ltd. In this case, the Terminal
supports two parallel connections: the first – with the monitoring data processing server, and the
second – with the remote configuration server. Remote configuration can be enabled using
RemoteConfig 1 command (section Service commands). It is possible to send commands to the
Terminal, to receive current information from the sensors connected and to receive diagnostic
messages, when working with the remote configuration server. Using the Configurator it is possible
to create a command pack to configure the Terminal and to save it on the server. These commands
will be sent to the Terminal when it
establishes
the connection to the server.
