General remarks

  • Customer Owners/Admins of ANITRA devices can access and modify device configuration
    • from Device List
      Config devicelist.JPG
    • from Device Profile
      Config profile.JPG
  • Configuration is managed in the dedicated application screen

Configuration delivery and application

  • configuration is applied whenever Device connects to communicate (send data)
  • only modified config parameters are sent in order to optimize traffic
  • by default the configuration is sent and delivered to the device via GPRS data
  • an alternative delivery channel is SMS ("Send by SMS" button)
    • using SMS might help to deliver configuration in areas with poor data coverage but please note that using SMS has certain limitations
      • SMS delivery is not guaranteed which might cause inconsistency in device configuration temporarily
      • just part of the full configuration scope can be fit into single configuration SMS ("Sent by SMS" button is only available till all the modifications fit into one SMS message)
      • additional charges might be applied when using SMS

Configuration structure

  • User configuration: covers the following aspects of device behavior
    • Data collection settings (GPS/sensor frequencies, activity, mortality, geofencing, data bursts etc)
    • Communication settings
    • Storage mode (sleep, power off)
  • Admin Configuration:
    • a range of additional admin parameters which control initial setup, basic device behavior, firmware upgrades etc

Features

  • Configuration for ANITRA loggers covers the following main areas and features
    Config03 configscreen.JPG
    • Data collection settings
      • GPS/sensor sampling
        • configurable based on both solar or human time)
        • comfortable day/night transition set up
      • Data collection triggered by activity
      • Continuous Activity Estimation
      • Dedicated Mortality detection functionality
      • Adjustment of basic data collection cycles based on location (Geofencing using Points of Interest (POIs))
      • Communication schedules
    • Communication schedules
      • "Fixed times" - four fixed time slots a day
      • "Alternative schedules" - three additional comfortable data delivery planners
        • Human time: cyclic frequency + adjustable cycle sync start
        • Solar time: option of different communication timer during day and night
        • Data: communication can be launched whenever a defined number of records collected by the logger
      • One-off schedule: allows scheduling a single communication at particular date and time (e.g. data to be pushed to the server while performing a field check)
    • Storage mode management: allows to power off devices and configure timeslot for regular device/battery state notification only (i.e. device wakes up only to report battery state at predefined day hour each X days)
