Page 5: General Description
Timings are settable, and the default is one message every 12 hours. If you need to make a change to settings, the Resilient will receive the command to change the timing the next time it checks for messages, as much as 12 hours after the command is sent. -
Page 6: Preliminary Setup
5 A QR code is available to scan to download the manual on new devices 6 Two sealing O-rings are located in the middle of the Resilient. This is where the device is opened to install batteries and may have an extended enclosure. - Page 7 Resilient makes use of a simple and robust binary email protocol as the default outgoing message format. Any email application can be used to send and receive messages to or from the Resilient, however, the messages from the Resilient in this format are not human-readable.

Page 8: Quickstart
When deploying the unit, power it up by swiping the magnet. Once the unit is confirmed to be on, it is ready to be deployed. Turn the Resilient OFF using the same magnet method as turning ON, with the RED LED in place of the green. -

Doppler technology. As a result, it is often very inaccurate. This location is only visible to users getting emails directly from the Resilient, as opposed to emails forwarded by Xeos Online. An example of a “raw” Iridium message via email is below and will always have the IMEI of the device in the subject line, regardless of its name on XeosOnline. -

Iridium Gateway and can only be seen through the Xeos Online system or situations where the position information is sent in a plain-text format (XeosOnline message forwarder or using the $msgenable command). This position information is accurate to within several feet of the true position. Resilient User Manual Version 2.0... -
Page 11: On/Off Modes
LED Indicators The top of the Resilient (and bottom of ROBY) use red and green LEDs to show their on/off status. It is also to be used as an indicator for when the magnetic switch is used to turn the device on/off. -

Using your web browser, go to http://online.xeostech.com Login to Xeos Online From the map view, click on your Resilient in the left hand side column. The last known location will appear on the map Resilient User Manual Version 2.0... -
Page 13: Remote Configuration Of The Resilient
Change to configuration only takes place once the Resilient receives the message. That means that if the Resilient is set to check messages hourly, it will not change its operational behavior until it has checked at its scheduled time for changes. -
Page 14: Configuration Of The Resilient
Configuration of the Resilient The Resilient has a combination of preset behaviors and configurable parameters. Below is an outline of its normal/default behavior: Resilient User Manual Version 2.0... -
Page 15: Resilient Timer Intervals
Timer 4 No GPS Fix Used when the GPS module fails to acquire a fix The default timer settings of the Resilient are suitable for most use cases. Timers 5 - 7 are not used in the Resilient. Timer Command The $timer command will return the timer intervals all configurable settings. -
Page 16: Changing The Timers
The GPS and Iridium interval timers can be set independently of each other, but there are several things to keep in mind. The Resilient has by default a limit of 12 GPS fixes per Iridium message and will retain a maximum of 24 unsent fixes (all fixes are saved in internal flash memory). This puts a practical limit on the ratio of GPS fixes to Iridium checks. -
Page 17: Watch Circle
Radius is set to meters Upon implementing the watch circle, the Resilient will return an S-Type message (see below): Once the watch circle is set, the unit will operate normally until it approaches the watch circle radius, at which point the device will send a warning message. Once the device exits the watch circle radius, it will begin sending alarm messages with GPS coordinates every 10 minutes (Timer 2) until the unit re-enters the watch circle, the radius is expanded via command, or is turned off. -
Page 18: Encryption
Encryption The Resilient has some security features enabled by default, such as an unlock codes for receiving commands. As of build 4170, users can also enable end-to-end 256 bit AES encryption between their device and XeosOnline for an additional layer of security. -
Page 19: Enabling Encryption
1. Log in to XeosOnline and click on the Admin button at the top of the screen. 2. Ensure that your organization is selected in the Organization List 3. Find your device and click the edit device button 4. Enter the Resilient’s passphrase into the appropriate text boxes and press Save Resilient User Manual Version 2.0... -
Page 20: Flash Memory
Dumping the Flash Memory Connect to the Resilient using the Bluetooth App for Android. If The device does not appear as advertising on the main page do one of the following: Power cycle the device with a magnet or temporary battery removal ... -
Page 21: Deleting The Flash Memory
Deleting the Flash Memory The Resilient’s memory does not automatically erase. While the Resilient can hold several thousand GPS positions it is prudent to clear the flash memory after extended deployments. To delete the flash records, send the command: $flasheraseuserdata The deleting process can take up to 30 seconds, after which the device will reset. -
Page 22: Bluetooth
If the Resilient is turned off via magnet within the 5 minute advertising window at start-up, the Resilient will advertise even in an off state. This can be used to turn the Resilient on remotely via a Bluetooth-sent $resetnow command using the app’s terminal tab. -
Page 23: Other Commands
Other Commands Below is a list of other commands that can be sent via Iridium or Bluetooth to acquire additional information, or configure the Resilient. Remember to add the $ symbol ahead of any commands. Command Parameters Description Show hardware and firmware versions. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting
Ensure the device is provisioned to send messages where intended. o Flip the Resilient to use the bottom Iridium antenna to check the RSSI level (greater than zero). The Status page of Bluetooth app shows most recent occurrance of these stats. - Page 25 Flip the Resilient to use the bottom GPS antenna to determine the nature of the issue (antenna-related, system related or location-related). Device is transmitting too frequently/not enough Check timer intervals with $timer command Check timer currently being used with the $status command (Returns TMde=1) ...

Page 26: Deployment Of The Resilient
3. Magnet for turning the Resilient on. Antennas To deploy the Resilient, ensure that one of the two cylindrical ends has a clear view of the sky. For optimal deployment, the white end should have a clear view of the sky since it contains the primary antennas. -
Page 27: Understanding The Tilt Sensor
The tilt axis defaults to the horizontal axis; if the Resilient is standing upright, it will operate using the custom dual antenna at the top of the enclosure. If the Resilient crosses the horizontal axis, i.e. -
Page 28: Testing Installation
Test the installation by checking the email addresses to which the Iridium account is sending notifications or Xeos Online. Xeos Online will display the last known position of the device as well as the time stamp of the GPS position. Resilient User Manual Version 2.0... -
Page 29: Maintenance
Maintenance Recovery and Storage Once, the Resilient is recovered, its function is complete but it is important that it be stored and maintained properly for future deployments. As soon as possible after the Resilient is recovered, all batteries should be removed and discarded. -
