Appendix A - Glossary of Terms

A
Accelerometer – A sensor used for detecting and measuring vibration.
Accumulate Hours – The activity time accumulated in the Inputs of the device while the Input is in the
user defined state.
Activation – The activation of an ESN (electronic serial number) on the Globalstar satellite network. The
process consists of programming a start and an end date for the use of the ESN and the payment of
certain fees to Globalstar. Sometimes referred to as "provisioning."
At Rest – A tracker is considered to be at rest when the comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous
GPS reading indicates that the tracker has not changed location by more than a specified minimum
distance. The specified minimum time and the specified minimum distance are both configuration
parameters.
C
Configuration – The collection of variables that control the operating performance of a device.
Configure (configuring) – Programming (setting) the variables that control the operation performance of
a tracker.
Count Events – The accumulated number of state changes in the Inputs of the device.
D
Delay To Start – Specific delay in time following the programming of the device to commence operation.
Desired State – The state of the Input in normal condition defined by the user.
E
ESN – Electronic Serial Number is a unique number assigned to each SmartOne device. The ESN
Network is used by Globalstar Simplex to identify messages from the devices in the field.
F
Failed GPS reading – A GPS reading could not be processed from available GPS satellite signals.
FW Ver – Firmware version is the existing software loaded in the device main processor
G
GPS – The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the
Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location.
GPS reading – The longitude, latitude, time, and date information obtained from processing the signals
from the GPS satellites.
