Spider MT-GL Features

Over The Air Connection

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to configure/setup the system parameters Over the Air (OTA). OTA configuration data is sent with UDP-API header. Incase the GPRS network not available the commands can be sent by SMS.
 

Serial Connection

A RS232 9-pin serial port is provided on the Spider MT-GL for the user to read, write, or modify the data parameters, surf the internet, or make SMS or voice call.
 

Input/Output Setup

The Spider MT-GL supports three General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) lines. The GPIO lines can be configured for input or output. A Dynamic Input/Output (DIO) sysFor example: a GPIO line configured for input can be configured to send a GPS message or an IO message to a remote host when the current state of that IO line changes.The user can pick and choose the header and message associated with the individual IO line .

The IO lines can be implemented to achieve the following feature:

• Panic button: when the driver pushes this button the device will send an alert to the control center. In addition to the ability to call predefined emergency number when pressing the button.
• Engine Shutdown feature: the control center has the privilege to remotely turn the engine on or off.
• Door open/close notification: the device has the capability to send notification to the control center or to fleet supervisor (by SMS) when the trailer door has been opened or closed.
• Others: like air-conditioner status, oil pressure indicator, engine temperature indicator, remote security system arm/disarm, remote central look activate/deactivate .etc.

In general, the IO line can be implemented to monitor any event/equipment on the vehicle or to control any event/equipment on the vehicle.
 

Maximum Speed Exceeded

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to configure sending of GPS message over the air to a remote user when a set speed is exceeded.
 

Geo-Fencing

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to configure maximum of 25 circular shape geo-fences. GPS message will be sent to a remote user whenever a device enters or exits a geo-fenced area.
 

GPS Odometer

The Spider MT-GL maintains GPS Odometer (distance been traveled) history for four days starting with the current day. Distance is displayed in hundreds of meter per hour. Distance traveled is updated continuously but is saved on top of every hour or during an Ignition Off event – given the power save mode (section 5.9) is configured. Saved distance history is maintained through a power cycle (removal of car’s battery).
 

Time and/or Distance updating

The Spider MT-GL sends GPS messages OTA to a remote user when time or distance settings are violated.
 

GPS Read

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to read the device’s current GPS position (NMEA messages only)

Power save Mode

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to configure the device for low power mode when auxiliary power is removed (i.e. when the engine turned off).
 

Store GPS Messages

This feature provides the user with the capability of storing GPS messages and retransmitting it later when the Spider MT-GL is out of GSM/GPRS coverage area, voice call is in progress, SMS messaging is in progress, or circuit switched data transfer is in progress. The Spider MT-GL can store up to 40 Kbytes of GPS data.
 

UDP PAD

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to initiate UDP PAD data session.

Remote Server Reporting: The Spider MT-GL has the ability to report GPS messages and events via UDP/IP packets to remote servers. The MT-GL can report messages to a maximum of 10 server IP addresses. Event messages can be acknowledged via a UDP command sent to the MT-GL to stop sending of the same message.
 

Sending GPS data over SMS

The Spider MT-GL allows a user to configure maximum of 5 destination addresses where GPS data can be sent. Destination address can be a phone number or an email address.
 

GPS Idle Trigger

The Spider MT-GL maintains GPS Idle count. The Idle count is incremented every second that the unit has not moved and is stationary in one position. The user can elect to receive a GPS message when the idle count exceeds. Idle count is measured in seconds
.

GPS Invisible Trigger

The Spider MT-GL maintains GPS Invisible count. The Invisible count is incremented every second when the unit does not have valid GPS data. The user can elect to receive a message when the Invisible count exceeds a set period. Invisible count is measured in seconds.
