    The D411 comes with an LED wired remote Quick Position switch. The Quick Position switch is already wired into the supplied D411 harness. When the Quick Position mode is enabled this causes the D411 to transmit a series of QPOS (Quick Position) events to SkyRouter. The number of messages and the time between messages can be configured from SkyRouter (see Configure section of this guide for further information.)

    CONFIGURE PARAMETERS Before using your D411 it is recommended that you take time to check and update the parameters on the device to prevent unexpected data usage. By default Blue Sky Network configures the D411 at the factory default setting of 120 second reporting (reports once every 2 minutes.) The D411 system parameters are all managed using the SkyRouter system.
