SMARTONE 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 run time 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
SMARTONE 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 SMARTONE went In Motion it would transmit its location message
every hour.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.5
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
SMARTONE 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.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.6
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.
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 SMARTONE would be connected to the ignition switch and
configured to send a transmission with location when the input
changes state.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.7
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.
Note: The SMARTONE uses a 5 minute "hysteresis" window to prevent sending
false alarms. This means that only one status change message can be sent
during any 5 minute time window. Any subsequent status changes will be
detected but not reported. Multiple status changes during any 5 minute window
will result in the transmission of incorrect trigger bits. Refer to page 52
for "Input Status Changed Message".
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.
The SMARTONE has the ability to send both Status Change and Undesired State
messages based on vibration.
Serial Commands
The SMARTONE uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to
remote passive and smart sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit
interface to support smart sensors. External sensors or instruments that can
format and communicate to the SMARTONE can send user data through the
SMARTONE by using these two commands.
The SMARTONE connects to smart sensors via the SMARTONE Serial Cable.
Spot offers 2 accessory cables for the SMARTONE, the USB Configuration
Cable and the Serial Cable. See Appendix E: Accessories.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.8
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
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.9
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.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.20
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.
SmartOne Manual Rev 1.4 DOC# 9100-0268-01 p.21
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.
