  • Page 6 Figure 2. ATSFixes for Satellite Collars – Main Page To load a program into the G2110E2, the Wildlink module will need to be connected (via USB port) to the PC running the ATSFixes for Satellite Collars software. Connect the Wildlink prior to starting ATSFixes and allow the PC time to detect the Wildlink if necessary.

    Reprogramming a G2110E2 If you want to change the program of a G2110E2, you will need to first erase the current program (and any stored data). Use the Erase Data/Program button to erase the G2110E2 program and data before reprogramming it. Be sure that you have first downloaded any stored data you wish to keep.
  • Page 9 The VHF transmitter can be programmed to stay off for up to 23 hours each day in order to extend G2110E2 life. The VHF transmitter also has some obligatory beep patterns which you will hear regardless of whether the transmitter was scheduled to be active.
  • Page 10 Transmission Suppression (see Section 9 Satellite Transmission Suppression for more details). Remote Commands The GPS fix schedule of your G2110E2 can be adjusted remotely via satellite to a regular interval. Available intervals are (in minutes): 10, 20, 30, 90, 120, 360, 480, 720, and 1440. The schedule can also be adjusted from these intervals back to the original schedule.

See Sections 12, 13, and 14 for more details. If the Neolink system is not necessary, it should not be enabled in order to save battery life.

    Section 5 Attaching the G2110E2 Figure 5. Collar attachment Your G2110E2 has been optimized according to the collar dimensions specified during ordering. The size of the collar is determined by the collar adjustment bracket and the main collar holes (see Figure 3). To adjust the collar and/or attach the collar to an animal, the procedure is as follows: 1.

    Section 6 Downloading Data from the G2110E2 Once GPS position data has been stored in the G2110E2 memory, e.g. after testing or field retrieval, it can be downloaded to your computer. Data is grouped into two categories: originally programmed schedule data and email adjusted schedule data. You may only download one group of data at a time.

The filename is Dxxxxxx_dd_JJJ-HHmm.txt where xxxxxx is the serial number of the G2110E2, dd indicates whether the data is originally programmed schedule data (FS) or email adjusted schedule data (VS), JJJ is the Julian date the data was downloaded, and HHmm is the hour and minutes data was downloaded.

    Section 7 Receiving Data from the Deployed G2110E2 While the G2110E2 is active (contact ATS to activate or determine activation status), a programmed G2110E2 will transmit data to ATS via the Iridium satellite system. The transmission interval is determined during collar programming (options include 4 hours to 7 days).
  • Page 16 Data Access The G2110E2 is assigned to a specific web account email address. When the collar transmits data, that data is uploaded to the web account. An email will only be sent to the email address if the collar has experienced an alarm-type event (mortality, VIT event, fawn event, low battery, collar release).

  • Page 19 Figure 6. Diagnostic for a board without a program Figure 6 shows the window for a diagnostic assessment of a board that has not been programmed. For the actual G2110E2, the collar serial number, frequency, battery voltage, etc. will be filled out accordingly.
  • Page 20 Figure 7. Diagnostic for a programmed board Figure 7 shows the diagnostic for a collar with a program. The diagnostic in this case reveals specific details of the program in the collar. Again, for an actual collar, the form will be filled out with valid information.

    In addition to a temperature or light trigger, the G2110E2 host will also send a birth alarm if it fails to receive a message from the VIT for one hour (in the scenario that the VIT has been expelled but is too far from the host to successfully transmit a birth message).
  • Page 22 Each Neolink VIT must be programmed with a serial number that corresponds with the host G2110E2. The host G2110E2 will listen for a message from only one Neolink VIT (i.e. messages from other Neolink VITs will be ignored). The serial number of the Neolink VIT must be the same number as the serial number of the host.
  • Page 23 Finally, click on the “Program Collar” button and follow the onscreen instructions. Place a magnet on the G2110E2 at the magnet location until collar and VIT are ready to be deployed.

  • Page 25 Neolink VIT. In normal operation, the temperature column in a G2110E2 data set is the temperature of the G2110E2, but in a Neolink VIT system, when the Neolink VIT is communicating with the G2110E2, the temperature column is the last reported Neolink VIT temperature reading (in degrees C).
  • Page 26 When the G2110E2 is no longer communicating with the Neolink VIT, i.e. a birth has occurred and the Neolink VIT is not in range of the G2110E2 or Neolink Fawn collars are being used, both the Temperature and FixTime column will revert back to their normal data.

    VIT, the programming will carry over, as long as the Neolink system has not been disabled with a remote command. If deploying the G2110E2 collar host at the same time as the fawn collars, place a magnet on the G2110E2 collar until ready for deployment. Otherwise, no further action is necessary with the E2.

When ready to deploy the system: if deploying a G2110E2 collar at the same time as the Neolink Fawn collar(s), remove the magnet from the G2110E2 collar in the presence of the Fawn Collar(s) and verify that in 20 seconds, the VHF for the collar comes on.
  • Page 29 Figure 9. Neolink Fawn Remote Command Options You may also turn off Neolink communication between Fawn collars and the G21010E2 collar by using the Remove Fawns button. Lastly, you may change the Fawn Absence default setting of 12 hours, to 24 hours, and then select the Apply Fawn Absence button to initiate the change.

For Neolink Fawns, this number will contain a first digit of 0, 1, or 2, and the remaining 5 digits will be the same as the last five digits of the G2110E2 host collar.
