This page describes configurable device parameters that are available when the device is executing the combined inventory-/theft track application. Please keep in mind that the device can be equipped with other applications that may have different parameters.
Please note, the following description considers an ideal behavior in terms of times and durations. In reality there will be smaller delays and inaccuracies due to the cellular network as well as due to run time on the devices ยต-controller in the order of a minute.
papp
Configures the application variant that is executed.
0: Inventory track
1: Theft track
The general idea behind the theft track application is, that you configure a time of day in which motion of the device is allowed. The device will send its position when it detects motion outside of the configured interval and ignore movement otherwise.
With the inventory track application, you configure a time of day in which you want to track the device's position. The device won't report a change of position outside the configured interval.
pmode
The mode parameter determines which events will cause the application to send telemetry data.
0: Motion detection
1: Scheduled intervals
2: Motion detection and scheduled intervals
pstart
Inventory track: Denotes the start of the interval in which the device sends positioning information.
Theft track: Denotes the start of the interval in which motion of the device is allowed.
The value is interpreted as minutes since 0:00 o'clock, hence it must not exceed 1440. The parameters pstart and pdur are used in conjunction and therefore the sum of both values must not exceed 1440 as well.
pdur
Denotes the length of the interval that begins after pstart. The semantic of this interval is determined by the application (See section pstart). The pdur value is specified in minutes and must not exceed 1440. The parameters pdur and pstart are used in conjunction and therefore the sum of both values must not exceed 1440 as well.
Example:
pxtime
Relevant for the scheduled positioning functionality. Denotes the length of the intervals after which the device sends new positioning information. The pxtime value is specified in minutes and must be smaller or equal to the pdur value.
Example:
pytime
Relevant for the motion detection functionality. Denotes a dead time after a motion was detected. Motions of the device within the dead time don't trigger a new transfer of positioning information. The pytime value is specified in minutes.
