Page 45: Device Operation
7 Device Operation 7.1 Power Management The Spider AT 3000 has been designed to minimize power consumption to maximize battery life. The device has different power states to optimize system-level power consumption. The Spider AT 3000 uses a low-power microcontroller to control the power states. Between position reports, the microcontroller enters an idle state until the next scheduled position check. -
Page 46: Position Reporting
7.1 Position Reporting The Spider AT 3000 transmits two types of position data. If the GPS receiver is able to determine a valid GPS position, then the GPS position information is transmitted. If the Spider AT 3000 is unable to acquire a valid GPS position, then PCELL information is transmitted. -
Page 47: Report Exceptions
A maximum of 10 messages will be stored. Time of day reporting without RTC – The Spider AT 3000 uses valid GPS data to automatically set the RTC time. If the Spider AT 3000 has not detected valid GPS data since the last activation, then the RTC time will not be accurate. -
Page 48: Over The Air Configuration
7.1 Over the Air Configuration After transmitting a position report to the server, the Spider AT 3000 remains registered on the GSM network for a period of time and listens for new over-the-air configuration messages from the server. Using the Provisioner, the position reporting time or usage scenario may be modified. The Spider AT 3000 can only receive new configuration commands when registered on the GSM network. -
