Thuraya T2M-DUAL
4 Functional Description
4.2 TRACK MODE AND GPIO MODE
The Track is used to gather necessary data from mobile assets such as location in
addition to selectable data through GPIO ports.
The GPIO mode is used to collect and transmit selected GPIO data only (e.g. fixed
installations).
TABLE 9 TRACK & GPIO MODES
Mode
Description
Track Mode
• Basic data and all selectable data will be transmitted periodically based
on the transmission period setting (minimum 2 minutes)
• If GPIO data is selected, it will be transmitted as well
GPIO Mode
• If you set the “sampling period” and “transmission period” at track mode
to “0”, GPIO mode is enabled.
• In GPIO mode the T2M-DUAL will collect and transmit GPIO data only.
4.3 DATA LOGGER
The T2M-DUAL can store more than 50,000 data points (basic data) to the internal
memory.
The logged data can be dumped from the terminal using “T2M-DUAL management tool”
4.4 NECESSARY AND SELECTABLE DATA
The terminal collects and transmits two types of data.
1. Necessary data: Basic data that is always collected and sent.
2. Selectable data: Optional data which the terminal can be configured to collect and
transmit.
The user can configure the terminal locally by using the “T2M-DUAL Management tool” or
remotely.
On how to configure the T2M-DUAL, please refer to the “T2M-DUAL Management Tool
user’s guide” and “T2M-DUAL Protocol document”.
