BLE Feature Sensors

Allows to configure universal or EYE sensors for data reading or BLE beacons for use with Recovery mode.

BLE Feature:

None – Bluetooth functionality will be disabled.
Sensors – Enables Bluetooth functionality for universal sensors, EYE Sensors and beacons.
Backup Tracker - Enables Backup Tracker

Update frequency - Sets BLE update frequency if Backup Tracker or BLE beacon is configured. Scan for universal sensors or EYE Sensors is only performed with periodic or scheduled records. To increase BLE scan frequency when using universal sensors or EYE Sensors, Operand in IO elements needs to be configured.

AAS scenario - When enabled TAT device will only perform BLE scan while it is in "On Move" tracking scenario. While device is stationary BLE scan does not initiate.

Sensor

When Sensors mode is selected a table with configurable parameters will appear:

• The table has 9 types of parameters:
  1. Type – EIR data type. This parameter will indicate which type to look for and work with.
  2. Data Offset – start index of data we are interested in.
  3. Data Size – size of the data we are interested in. Limited to 2 bytes of data.
  4. Action – two actions are possible: Match and Save. Match means that we want to perform a validation of certain data. Save means that we want to get certain data and later save it to an AVL record.
  5. IO – tells which IO element's data will be saved to. Used only with Save action.
  6. Match – hex string to be matched with BLE sensor data. Used only with Match action.
  7. Endianness – endianness of data: little endian (ex. 0x1122) or big endian (ex. 0x2211). Used only with Save action.
  8. Multiplier – value to be used to multiply output data. Used only with Save action.
  9. Offset – value to be added to output data. Used only with Save action.
     

MAC - MAC address of the universal sensor.
Lost Sensor Alarm - When enabled TAT device will generate a record to notify that sensor has been lost. Required to be enabled for Recovery mode trigger "Lost BLE sensor" to work.
When universal sensor is lost TAT will send a record with even number that is the first configured IO element. In below example if sensor is lost device will generate a record with event ID 29 (BLE Battery #1:29). If it was configured for second sensor, record will have event ID 20 (BLE Battery #2:20).

EYE Sensor

When EYE Sensors mode is selected MAC address of the sensor will need to be entered.

MAC - MAC address of the EYE Sensor.
Lost Sensor Alarm - When enabled TAT device will generate a record to notify that EYE Sensor has been lost. Required to be enabled for Recovery mode trigger "Lost BLE sensor" to work.
AVL ID 463, value BEEF - Lost BLE1 EYE Sensor.
AVL ID 467, value BEEF - Lost BLE2 EYE Sensor.
AVL ID 471, value BEEF - Lost BLE3 EYE Sensor.
AVL ID 475, value BEEF - Lost BLE4 EYE Sensor.
