CONTACTS
The Contacts option is a list of contacts that are saved into
the HEPT Plus memory. Contacts can store information such
as name, email, phone number and location.
Contacts can be managed using the HawkEye (PT) Plus
Manager Application (available for download from the
secure documents section of New SkyRouter), please see
the HawkEye (PT) Plus Manager Application User Guide for
further information on managing contacts.
MBOX RATE – IRIDIUM LINK ONLY
Only applies only when the Iridium link is enabled. The Mbox Rate option provides configuration options for
Mailbox Checks; this is an interval that the HEPT Plus will check to see if there are messages destined for the device
waiting at SkyRouter. Mailbox Checks are done using the Iridium Network only. The HEPT Plus will also check for
messages each time it reports to SkyRouter, so if your report rate is already set to a low value this option might not
be required. It is possible to select either a pre-defined rate from the list or to enter a Custom Rate using the
keyboard.
If mailbox check is enabled, the
symbol appears white at the top of the screen. The HEPT Plus will then check
SkyRouter for messages at the next scheduled interval. The HEPT Plus will sleep between mailbox check intervals
in order to save battery life; the status LED will also flash once every 5 seconds. It is possible to disable the status
LED under Settings > LED (this can reduce power consumption).
CHK MBOX – IRDIUM LINK ONLY
Only applies when Iridium Link is enabled. Chk Mbox option allows the user to check the Iridium gateway for
messages which are waiting to be sent the device. Press the “Check” button to begin checking for mail - as
messages are downloaded the number of unread and queued messages is displayed.
