5. Passport – Physical Description
To deactivate the unit, press and hold the power switch, for three o five second. The LED will become solid red then go off.
To activate the unit , press and hold the power switch, for three o five second. The LED will blink 12 times within a 3 seconds period (battery voltage in highest range), the LED will blink on for one second, off for one second, then for one second (normal voltage range). The LED will then go off.

9. Passport – Power Management
Design to minimize power consumption to maximize battery life
Use the microcontroller to control the power states
The microcontroller use the motion sensor and the GPS to determine if the devices has been moved.
The power state are:
Microcontroller Idle: lower power state, it is in idle waiting for time expired
Motion sensor: It is this state for few seconds while the motion sensor detected movement. If motion is detected the GPS is turner on otherwise the device returns to idle state.
GPS receiver: The GPS is turned on, acquires the GPS satellites and determine the current position.

10. Passport – Power Management
The power state are:
GSM modem: the modem is turned on if the position report is needed. The modem registers on the GSM network, send the position to the server and listen for a period of the time for new messages from the server.

11. Passport – Reporting Position
Send two type of positions:
Messages with GPS position information if the position is valid.
Message with PCELL information if the position is not valid.
Configured to periodically report its position using the following scenarios:
Static Asset Monitoring with time interval reporting
Static Asset Monitoring with time-of-day reporting
Basic Motion Monitoring
Mobile Asset Monitoring with pre-defined geo-fence (s)
Mobile Asset Monitoring with dynamic geo-fence

12. Passport – Reporting Position
The reports can no be received at expected time for the following conditions:
Delay position reports: Environmental factors may cause a position report to be delayed
Extreme temperature
Marginal temperature
Low voltage
No GSM coverage: maximum 10 messages can be stored in the internal memory
Time of day reporting with RTC: The RTC is updated when the device get a valid position, if the device never got the valid position then the RCT will no be accurate then the reports will not be sent at the desired time

13. Passport – Reporting Position
The reports can no be received at expected time
Date time reporting drift: The time between positions is a delta time interval since the last report, it is not included the time to gather the position data and register on the GSM network. Users should expect the timed reporting to have an additional 3-12 minutes of lag time between reporting
UDP packet lost in the network

14. Passport – Time interval reporting
User sets time to reporting frequency (see the minimum values according with the temperature)
The schedule report time is not exact.
The device will send a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.
The delay add to each report is accumulative.

15. Passport – Time of day reporting
Time of Day Reporting is used when a specific time, rather than an interval is required for reporting
Use the RTC time to determine the weekdays and time when the device should report.
The RCT time is updated when the device acquire the valid GPS if the device never get the valid GPS, it use 0 as a reference
The device will send a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.
The first report will not be synchronous to a real RTC time
The delay add to each report is not accumulative

17. Passport – Basic Motion Monitoring
The unit report based in the motion of the unit.
It is possible define the periodic report when the device is moving and the periodic report when the device is not moving
The motion sensor is only powered ON for a specific time interval and it is only during that time interval motion is being sampled
In stationary mode the device will send a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.
When motion is detected the unit sends a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.

18. Passport – Basic Motion Monitoring
In motion mode the device will send a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.
When no motion is detected the unit sends a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.

20. Reporting with 1 predefined geo-fence
This service is designed to allow the device to determine reporting interval based on being inside or outside one or two defined geo-fence areas.
Send periodic report when the unit is inside of the geo-fences based on “inside geo-fence reporting interval”
Send periodic report when the unit is outside of the geo-fences based on “outside geo-fence reporting interval”
The unit will report the transition to/from being inside and outside the defined geo-fence areas
When the unit is going to inside to the geo-fence it sends a report with valid GPS.
10/30/2019

21. Reporting with 1 predefined geo-fence
When the unit is going to outside of the geo-fence it sends a report with valid GPS.
The periodic report (inside or outside of the geo-fence), sends from the unit will be a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix or a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.

23. Reporting with 2 predefined geo-fences
Apply all definition for reporting period with 1 geo-fence.
Only one geo-fence can be stored in the MSP, the geo-fence information is changed when the device has entered to the new geo-fence.
When the unit is going to of the geo-fence 2 it sends a report with valid GPS.
When the unit is going to outside of the geo-fence 2 it sends a report with valid GPS.

25. Reporting with dynamic geo-fence
The dynamic geo-fence will be created on the location where the device stopped.
When the unit creates de first geo-fence it sends a report with valid GPS.
The periodic report (inside or outside of the geo-fence), sends from the unit will be a report if the GPS can get the valid GPS fix of a report with GSM Parted Cell (PCEL information) if the GPS can not get fix.
When the unit is going to inside to the geo-fence it sends a report with valid GPS.
When the unit exist of the geo-fence and it detects not motion then it creates the new geo-fence and sends a report with valid GPS.
If the device detects a new position outside of the geo-fence with out motion, it sends a report and report and enters in recovery mode.

26. Reporting with dynamic geo-fence
If the devices is in stationary and the GPS is invalid and the last know location is outside of the geo-fence then it sends the report and the two last locations were in the same location, the new geo-fence is created and sent the report.
