Changing the tracker configuration
You can change quickly your tracker configuration by applying a predefined location template that suits a specific use for your tracker.
You can choose between the following templates to easily get positions from the trackers most frequent use-cases:
- Default : The easiest way to get a position from the tracker.
- Tracking rented assets : For tracking rented assets movement, especially at the beginning or end of the movement.
- Find my asset on demand: Useful for getting the asset location on demand.
- Activity monitoring: Sends activity reports instead of positions using the accelerometer to count the amount of motions.
- Proximity alert: Enables proximity detection and contact tracing when two trackers are brought close to each other.
- Scan collection: Allows to scan once per hour up to 20 WiFi Aps or BLE beacons.
For more information, see Location templates.
Before you begin
- We recommend you do a drive or walk test with your tracker to display and analyze a number of reported locations. You can also place the tracker in a moving asset you want to locate.
- The tracker must be provisioned on a ThingPark platform. To create a free account, see ThingPark platforms URLs.
- In the Device Configuration tab, select the tracker you want to change the device configuration. In the Template list, select the predefined profile you want to apply to your tracker.
Important
In this tab, you can also check the MCU Firmware and BLE Firmware versions of the tracker.
- Click Update to apply the configuration profile.
Important
Depending on the number of parameters selected, the profile update can take some time as the LoRaWAN® downlinks can be sent only when the tracker sends the next uplink.
- After a few minutes, refresh the Abeeway Device Manager's Configuration page in your browser for the profile change to take effect.
