SMART

ONE Basics

Overview

The SMARTONE is designed to track the position of Trailers, Cargo

Containers, Heavy Construction Equipment, Generators, Boats/Barges and any other mobile assets. The SMARTONE also has 2 inputs to manage runtime of engines and/or other alarm inputs.

The SMARTONE processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its position in terms of longitude and latitude and transmits this information over

Globalstar’s Simplex Satellite Network. In addition to position information, the SMARTONE transmits other message types that include battery status, input alarm status and diagnostic information. The

SMART

ONE is configured using a computer and connection cable to communicate these messages at certain times and/or under certain conditions.

Modes of Operation

The SMARTONE can be configured to operate in three different Modes:

Standard Messaging Mode, Reduced Messaging Mode and Theft Recovery Mode.

Standard Messaging

In Standard Messaging Mode, the SMARTONE reports its position at regular time intervals that are programmed during the configuration process.

Standard Messaging Mode can also be configured to utilize the SMARTONE’s internal vibration sensor. If enabled, the SMARTONE will transmit its position at independently configured regular time intervals when the device is In Motion.

Location messages can be programmed to be constant (Message Interval) or the device may be configured to use up to 12 different delays in sequence (Message-Time(s) of Day). Message Interval can be programmed in 1 minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days.

Example of Message Interval: The SMARTONE is configured to report once every 24 hours when not in motion and every 2 hours when In Motion. If the SMARTONE went into motion at any time of day the Message Interval while In Motion would be every 2 hours beginning when the SMARTONE started moving.

Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SMARTONE is configured with a message time of day of 9:00am, a second message time of day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00pm and once per hour when In Motion. The SMARTONE would transmit 3 messages a day at the same configured times every day. If the

SMART

ONE went In Motion it would transmit its location message every hour.

Usage Example: A Company is required to report the GPS locations of their hazardous chemical containers twice a day. Based on this requirement the Company has 2 options: set a message interval of every 12 hours, the 12 hour internal begins when the device is powered up or configure message times of day 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight.

Reduced Messaging

Reduced Messaging Mode reduces the cost associated with transmitting messages over Globalstar’s network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is in a defined area and transmitting at a higher message interval when the asset is changing locations. These message intervals are set as part of the configuration process based on the concept that repeated reporting information of the same location when an asset has not moved from its defined area is redundant and doesn’t provide addition usable information about its current location.

By comparing current and prior position information, the SMARTONE determines if its location is changing. The definable area in which the device should remain in Reduced Messaging Mode is called the Change of

Location Area and it is a square. When the SMARTONE goes outside of the square, its location is considered to be changing or relocating.

Usage Example: A fleet operator owns 1,000 trailers. When the trailer(s) are sitting at a depot they want a location message once a day. They also want a message notification within 1 hour when a trailer has left a depot. Lastly, they want a location message every 3 hours when a trailer is moving between depots.

Based on this requirement, the fleet operator will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the depots where the trailers will visit), the message interval while the trailers are inside the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SMARTONE will check its location while in a State of Vibration and inside the Change of Location Area(1 per hour), set the number of messages when the trailer leaves the Change of

Location Area (1 Change of Location Area Alert Message) and the message interval while the trailers are in transit between depots (every 3 hours).

Theft Recovery

When the SMARTONE is configured to operate in the Theft Recovery Mode, it differentiates between authorized and unauthorized movement of an asset. While the power to the SMARTONE is turned off, all movement of the asset is considered authorized. When power is turned on, the

SMART

ONE obtains a position from GPS satellite signals. The position is used to set the center of the defined Change of Location Area in Theft

Recovery Mode. While in the Change of Location Area, the SMARTONE obtains position fixes at an interval set during configuration. As long as the SMARTONE remains within the Change of Location Area all movement is considered to be authorized.

Once the SMARTONE’s position is outside of the Change of Location Area, it alerts the SMARTONE to an unauthorized movement and immediately sends a location message (Change of Location Alert Message). The SMARTONE then continues to send location messages at a message interval set during the configuration process until the power is turned off or the battery is dead.

Usage Example: A construction company is working on a job site for 1 year and wants to make sure that the generators and other heavy equipment on site are not stolen. The company wants to check the location of their equipment 12 times a day, every 2 hours, to confirm the asset hasn’t been stolen but only wants a transmitted location message once per day. Based on this requirement, the construction company will need to set the

Change of Location Area (size of the job site), the message interval while inside the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SMARTONE will check its location while in a State of Vibration and within the Change of Location Area

(every 2 hours) and the message interval if the asset is outside the Change of Location Area (stolen).

Inputs

The SMARTONE has a 20 pin connector that provides ground, two dry contact inputs and a power switch input.

20 pin Connector

Connector

Cover

The SMARTONE allows sending Input Status Changed Messages for both Input

1 and Input 2. The Inputs must be asserted for at least 5 seconds in order to be acknowledged.

Usage Example: A construction company needs to document, per their contract with the City, when they begin their work day and when they end their work day. Based on this requirement, the

SMART

ONE would be connected to the ignition switch and configured to send a transmission with location when the input changes state.

The SMARTONE also allows the user to define the Message Interval while the Inputs are in an Undesired State, either Opened or Closed.

Usage Example: A company has remote containers at job sites and would like to know if a door is ajar. If a door is left ajar the company would like a notification every 2 hours. Based on this requirement, the SMARTONE would be connected to an open door sensor with the Undesired Input State Message enabled and set as Opened with a Message Interval of 2 hours.

The SMARTONE has the ability to send an Accumulate/Count Message at a regular configurable interval and/or based on configurable multiples of accumulated hours and/or number of counted events or hours of vibration.

Usage Example 1: A construction company needs weekly engine run times for their heavy equipment to manage their maintenance scheduling. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule a weekly Accumulate/Count Message.

Usage Example 2: A construction company wants to insure that no equipment is ever operated beyond 400 hours without maintenance.

Based on this requirement, the company would schedule an

Accumulate/Count Message for every 400 hours of use.

Axonn offers 2 accessory cables for the SMARTONE, the USB Configuration

Cable and the External Inputs Cable. See Appendix E: Accessories.

Satellite Communications

The SMARTONE communicates with both the GPS satellite Network and the

Globalstar Simplex Satellite Network. All GPS locations are pulled from the GPS network and all transmissions are sent via the Globalstar

Simplex Satellite Network.

The SMARTONE has the unique ability to check its GPS Coordinates at a programmable rate while it is inside of the Change of Location Area without actually sending a message over the Globalstar Simplex Satellite

Network.

For a Location Message, the SMARTONE will wake up at a scheduled interval or time of day and begins to acquire a GPS fix. Once it receives its GPS fix, it will transmit the location to the Globalstar

Simplex Satellite Network.

Globalstar Simplex Satellite Network

The network consists of 40+ Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites that are constantly orbiting the earth and complete their orbits in less than 2 hours. Because of this, the SMARTONE will be in contact with at least one of the satellites during each scheduled transmission. In LEO communication networks the satellites are constantly changing their positions in the sky relative to the transmitter on earth. This minimized the shading effects seen in geostationary satellite systems where the mobile device must be pointed toward a specific direction in the sky. Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude and move along the equator.

Messages are transmitted from the SMARTONE via the Globalstar Simplex

Satellite Network using an uplink-only connection (one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Simplex Ground Station. The messages are then sent via an HTTP or FTP server to the internet and received by the VAR or end customer’s back office application and converted into actionable data.

The SMARTONE will send each message 3 times to insure that the message has been received by the Globalstar Satellite Constellation. Once

Globalstar receives the message, any remaining duplicate messages are ignored and discarded (VAR or end user account is only charged for 1 transmission).

Getting Started Tab

The Getting Started Tab allows the user to select the Mode of operation for the SMARTONE. The Modes include Standard Messaging with or without motion, Reduced Messaging and Theft Recovery Mode.

Standard Messaging Mode without Motion

The Standard Messaging without Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality on the SMARTONE. The SMARTONE will automatically report its position at regular time intervals. The messages sent in this

Mode are called Location Messages. These messages include the GPS coordinates of the actual location of the SMARTONE.

In this Mode, the vibration sensor is OFF.

Standard Messaging Mode with Motion

The Standard Messaging with Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality with motion detection capabilities. The user defines the motion parameters for each application including the Level of

Sensitivity of the vibration sensor, Time to be in a State of Vibration and Time to be in a State of Lacking Vibration. The SMARTONE can be set to report at a different rate, Message Interval while In Motion, compared to the Location Message Interval.

Reduced Messaging Mode

The Reduced Messaging Mode is ideal for asset management with reduced messaging capability of the SMARTONE. The SMARTONE creates a Change of

Location Area of configurable size around the device. If the SMARTONE stays within its Change of Location Area, the number of transmissions will be reduced.

When the SMARTONE leaves the Change of Location Area and returned to a

State of Lacking Vibration a new Change of Location Area is created around the SMARTONE.

Theft Recovery Mode

The Theft Recovery Mode is ideal for assets that are high-risk for theft. In this Mode, the SMARTONE creates a Change of Location Area

around its location when powered. The size of the Change of Location

Area is a configurable parameter equal to the distance the device must move to be considered outside the Change of Location Area. If outside the Change of Location Area, the SMARTONE goes into recovery Mode, transmitting frequent messages until the asset is recovered. The message interval in recovery Mode is a configurable parameter; however, the default value is 10 minutes.

Change of Location Area Tab

Inside Change of Location Area Section

The parameters in this section define the functionality of the device while inside its Change of Location Area while in Theft Recovery Mode.

Change of Location Range.

Change of Location Range specifies the length

(in meters, kilometers, yards, or miles) from the center of the Change of Location Area. If the SMARTONE detects that it has left its Change of

Location Area, the device will enter into a Recovery Mode witch is defined by the In Motion Interval within Outside Change of Location

Area.

Message Interval inside the Change of Location Area.

The SMARTONE can be configured to transmit messages while inside its Change of Location

Area. This parameter allows you to configure the message interval inside the Change of Location Area in days, hours and minutes. In Theft

Recovery Mode, the asset will send infrequent messages, user configurable interval, if asset is in its Change of Location Area.

Position Check Interval while in State of Vibration.

The SMARTONE has the ability to get GPS fixes without transmitting the information to Globalstar Simples network. It uses the information to confirm if it is inside its Change of Location Area.

Vibration Sensor Settings Button.

This button activates the Vibration

Settings window. This window contains settings to define how the vibration sensor determines that the SMARTONE is In Motion. The parameters include Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor and Time to be in a State of Vibration and the Time to be in a State of Lacking

Vibration.

Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor.

The vibration sensor has a range of sensitivity from 1 to 31 (1 most sensitive and 31 least sensitive). The smaller the sensitivity level, the more sensitive the vibration sensor would be to movement.

Time to be in a State of Vibration.

Time to be in a State of Lacking Vibration

. Time the vibration sensor must be below the sensitivity level before in a State of Lacking

Vibration.

Outside Change of Location Area

The parameters in this section define the functionality of the device while outside its Change of Location Area.

Change of Location Alert Messages.

The SMARTONE can be configured to send Change of Location Area Alert messages when the device leaves the

Change of Location Area. This special message can be processed by the back office application to send a notification to a cellular phone or to an email account that the asset has left the authorized Change of

Location Area. The number of Change of Location Area Alert messages sent by the device is configurable with range from 1 to 3. The message interval of the Change of Location Area Alert message will be the same as the In Motion Message Interval outside the Change of Location Area.

In Motion Interval.

This parameter determines the message interval once device is outside the Change of Location Area and In Motion.

In Theft Recovery Mode, the device will continue to send messages outside it Change of Location Area at the specified In Motion message interval until the device is Re-Centered by turning the connector in the device in the OFF and ON position.

The device will create a new Change of Location Area in the Theft

Recovery Mode immediately after turning ON the device using the connector.

At Rest Interval

. This parameter determines the message interval once device is outside the Change of Location Area and At Rest. The device is considered to be at rest when the comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates that the tracker has not changed location by more than a specified minimum distance.

Input Settings Tab

Status Changed Message.

The SMARTONE has two inputs that can be configured to send a Status Changed Message once the selected input opens, closes, or in both events. The Message sent can or can not contain the GPS coordinates of the device at the time the status of the input (s) changed.

Undesired State Message.

The SMARTONE can be configured to send messages throughout the time the input in the desired state message, either to opened or closed position. The message interval while the input is active can be configured in Days, Hours, and Minutes. Once the input is de-activated, the SMARTONE will return to the message interval or time

(s) of day for Location Messages.

Accumulate/Count Message.

The SMARTONE can accumulate hours and events while input 1 or input 2 is enabled. The SMARTONE can send an accumulate/count message once the configurable number of hours or events have been reached. In addition, The SMARTONE can send the actual value of accumulated hours and events at configurable intervals specified in days, hours, and minutes.

Messages

The SMARTONE produces on-air messages conforming to the Globalstar specified format.

The data being communicated to the end user is contained entirely in the

72 bit (9 byte) field.

This section will describe the use of the 9 byte user information segment for communicating the range of information that the SMARTONE is able to convey to the user.

User information is sometimes referred to as the message payload.

Basic User Information

Global Message Type

Bits 0 and 1 in the first byte of the user data define the Global

Message Type; there are four total global types. Types 0 and 3 are applicable to the function and features of the SMARTONE, types 1 and 2 are applicable to other Globalstar Simplex based products and are not applicable to the SMARTONE:

Type 0: Standard Message: All of the various message types that contain Latitude and Longitude data that are transmitted by the SMARTONE will be of this type.

Type 1: This message type is not supported by the SMARTONE.

Type 2: This message type is not supported by the SMARTONE.

Type 3: Non Standard Message: This is the message type that covers the category none of the above. The SMARTONE will use this message type for messages that do not contain Latitude and Longitude data.

The message is transmitted either at a pre-set interval, at a point where any of the accumulation or count registers reach multiples as programmed by the user, just before rollover of any count/accumulate register, or all of the above. The format of the Accumulate/Count message is shown in table 11.

Messaging Priority

Prioritization of Periodic Standard Message Report Rates

The SMARTONE supports several rates at which it will send a periodic standard message. Periodic, scheduled standard message rates are mutually exclusive. This is the priority of the different rates at which the SMARTONE will send a standard message. Highest is listed first:

• Rate specified by Undesired Input State.

• Rate specified for when the SMARTONE is inside its Change of

Location Area.

• Rate specified for when device is In Motion. (Note, when inside the Change of Location Area, this rate affects sampling, but not reporting, as indicated by a higher priority for inside Change of

Location Area.)

• Rate specified for when the device is At Rest.

Message Priorities

It is possible that message types may collide. Whenever feasible, the

SMART

ONE will examine its known schedule and reschedule lower priority messages to occur after higher priority ones. If there is not enough time in the known schedule for all scheduled messages to be transmitted in a reasonable time, or there is insufficient memory to queue them, the lowest priority message(s) could be dropped. In any case, unscheduled messages (for example, Input Status Changed) shall cancel pending messages of lower priority and not cancel pending messages of higher priority. The following list shows the priority of message types, with the highest priority being listed first.

• Contact Service Provider

• Change of Location Area Alert

• Replace Battery

• Input Status Changed

• Re-Center

• Diagnostic

• Accumulate/Count

• Undesired Input State

• Device Turned On

• Location (In Motion or At Rest)

Glossary of Terms

Accumulate Hours

– The activity time accumulated in the Inputs of the device while the Input is in the user defined state.

Activation –

The activation of an ESN (electronic serial number) on the

Globalstar satellite network. The process consists of programming a start and an end date for the use of the ESN and the payment of certain fees to Globalstar. Sometimes referred to as “ provisioning. ”

At Rest –

a tracker is considered to be at rest when the comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates that the tracker has not changed location by more than a specified minimum distance. The specified minimum time and the specified minimum distance are both configuration parameters.

Configuration –

the collection of variables that control the operating performance of a tracker. Sometimes referred to as the “ configuration.”

Configure (configuring) –

Programming (setting) the variables that control the operation performance of a tracker.

Count Events

– The accumulated number of state changes in the Inputs of the device.

Delay To Start

– Specific delay in time following the programming of the device to commence operation.

Desired State

– The state of the Input in normal condition defined by the user.

ESN

– Electronic Serial Number is a unique number assigned to each

SMARTONE device. The ESN is used by the Globalstar Simplex Network to identify messages from the devices on the field.

Failed GPS reading –

A GPS reading could not be processed from available

GPS satellite signals.

FW Ver

– Firmware version is the existing software loaded in the device main processor

GPS

– The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location.

GPS reading –

The longitude, latitude, time, and date information obtained from processing the signals from the GPS satellites.

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 tracker has changed location by at least a specified minimum distance. The specified minimum time and the specified minimum distance are both configuration parameters.

Inaccurate GPS reading –

The longitude and latitude information obtained from processing the signals from the GPS satellites when a tracker can not 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.

Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor –

a configurable parameter that sets the number of pulses per minute that a vibration sensor must detect to be considered sensing vibration.

Message –

A collection of information that is transmitted in a group over the satellite network.

Message Interval

– 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 process of sending a message over the satellite network. The process includes sending a message multiple times to improve the transmission success rate.

Number of message repeats –

The number of times a message is send in a message transmission with the same 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 receive more than three times Globalstar may count the message as more than one message for billing purposes

Self Test –

An internal unit test that is performed by the processor.

The test checks for proper operation of functions that can be tested by the processor.

State of lacking Vibration –

The vibration 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.

State of Vibration –

The vibration sensor is in a State of Vibration when the number of vibration pulses per minute exceeds the Level of

Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor for the time required to detect a State of Vibration.

Time to be in a State of Lacking Vibration–

a configurable parameter that sets the period of time vibration has to be absent to determine if a State of Vibration has ceased.

Time to be in a State of Vibration

– a configurable parameter that sets the period of time used to determine if a State of Vibration exists.

Undesired State Message

– The SMARTONE sends this message at a user defined interval while any of its Inputs are in the closed or opened state depending on the user selection
