I
In Motion – The unit is considered to be In Motion when there is a State of Vibration – and – when a
comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates the device has changed location
by at least a specified minimum distance (100 meters by default).
Inaccurate GPS reading – The longitude and latitude information obtained from processing the signals
from the GPS satellites when a tracker cannot observe an adequate number of satellites; the GPS signals
were jammed by electronic interference; the GPS signals were reflected from objects creating multi-path
conditions; or weather conditions distorted the GPS signals. An inaccurate GPS reading may have
longitude and latitude errors of a mile or more.
Input – A digital channel in the device that allows the detection of switch stage changes. The inputs are
dry contact inputs, ON/OFF.
M
Message – A collection of information that is transmitted in a group over the satellite network.
Message Interval – The indicates the amount of time specified by the user between Location Messages.
The SmartOne transmits a Location Message once the Message Interval has elapsed. The internal clock
on the device is reset to the interval time after each transmission. The SmartOne is in low power
consumption Mode during the interval to preserve battery life.
Message Time(s) of Day – The specific time of day in military format for the SmartOne to transmit
Location Messages. The SmartOne is in low power consumption Mode between the specific times of day
to preserve battery life.
Message Transmission – The indicates the process of sending a message over the satellite network.
The process includes sending a message multiple times to improve the transmission success rate.
N
Number of message repeats – The number of times a message is sent in a message transmission with
the same Unique Message Number(UMN). The number of message repeats is configurable during the
tracker set up process. Globalstar only counts repeated messages as one message if it is received three
times or less. If the same message is received more than three times, Globalstar may count the message
as more than one message for billing purposes
S
Self Test – An internal unit test that is performed by the processor, checking for the proper operation of
unit functions.
State of Lacking Vibration – The motion sensor is indicating a cease of vibration when the number of
vibration pulses per minute is lower than the Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor number for the time
required to determine if a State of Vibration has ceased.
