11.4 Power saving mode/Idle mode
MT-900C supports 3 idle modes for user application. The user can select the one suitable to its
demand.
(1) Time Interval idle
The device will wake up to report at pre-defined time interval. The mobile module is in idle
too. So the user can still call in to wake up the tracker to report.
(2) Phone/SMS idle
The device will keep under the idle mode until the user call in or send SMS to wake up the
tracker to report.
(3) Gsensor idle
The device will be in idle mode until the vibration detected and meets the conditions. Then
the device will wake up and report to server or mobile phone. The mobile module is in idle
too. So the user can still call in to wake up the tracker to report.
Note1: The tracker will wake up to report by phone call when the user calls in and hangs on
within 3 ring tone. The device will pick up the phone for remote monitoring if the ring tone over
3 times.
Note2: When the tracker is set to the idle mode, the tracker will check the alarm conditions
and report only when it is during the wake up time. If there are alarms occur while system
wakes up, the system will not go into idle again before all alarms clear.
11.5 Short Message Service Control
The tracker also provides another way for control access or configuration. From the Short
Message Service, the user can use the defined number mobile phone to control the tracker.
After received the SMS, the tracker will perform as the request command and will response to
the mobile phone with SMS.
