CONFIGURATION

General remarks

• Customer Owners/Admins of ANITRA devices can access and modify device configuration
  • from Device List
    
  • from Device Profile
    

• 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

Features

• Configuration for ANITRA loggers covers the following main areas and features
  
  • 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)
