Traps
The traps page is where you go to when you want to register a
BG-Counter. It also includes a list of your traps with a variety
of information. The objective is to give you a comprehensive
overview of details for each BG-Counter (as defined by IMEI).
As each counter can be assigned to more than one Location,
the “Trap Management” table can include less items, than the
the “Location Table” from the dashboard.
Trap Management table
The Trap Management table includes the following columns:
•
IMEI
: International Mobile Equipment Identity (Serial
Number). This is the number that you must type in, when
registering a new BG-Counter. You find this 15-digits
number on the sticker at the side of each BG-Counter.
•
Subscription
: Status as of current day: “
InUse
”, “
Ex-
piresSoon
” (expiration of subscription within 60 days),
or “
Expired
”. Please contact your Biogents representative
or distributor if the status is on “Expiring Soon” or “Expi-
red”, and you wish to continue your subscription.
•
Device
: Status of your device.
»
“
Active
”: The device is activated, has a location based
on geofencing, or was assigned to a fixed location.
»
“
Standby
”: Initial status after adding a new trap to the
account.
»
“
Inactive
”: Subscription is expired.
•
Geolocation
: Select between “
Auto
” and “
Fixed
” in the
drop-down menu.
»
“
Auto
”: Default setting. GPS geofencing is used to eit-
her find an existing location, or to create a new loca
-
tion. This is only possible if the counter is outdoors
and has an unobstructed view of the sky.
»
“
Fixed
”: Use this setting to assign the trap to an exis-
ting location. This is required when a reliable GPS fix
cannot be obtained or if the GPS fix has errors or drift.
When you have two locations with less than 100 m
between each other, it is also necessary to use the
“Fixed” setting. Geofencing only determines two loca-
tions as different from each other, if they are at least
100 m apart from each other.
•
Current
Location
: Select one of your existing locations,
when Geolocation is set on “fixed”. In this way, you can
for example assign the IMEI of a replacement trap to the
Location of a defective trap.
•
Last
Connection
: The time at which the trap last connec-
ted with the server successfully.
•
Transmitted
Coordinates
: Last reported coordinates as
measured by the built-in GPS device, unless otherwise
indicated.
•
Expiration
: Subscription expiration date.
•
ICCID
: SIM Card serial number.
•
Transmissions
: Number of 15-min reports in the databa-
se. A small number means the counter has not been used
much.
