GPS

NameOptionsNotes
Early Wakeup20 sec, 40 sec, 60 sec, 120 sec, 180 sec, 240 secHow many seconds before the required transmission the GPS chip is ‘woken’ to achieve a fix.
Fix Mode2D, 3DWhether the device requires a 2D or 3D GPS fix before it will transmit a position (tends to give more accurate positions, certainly with respect to altitude)
Fixes before accept1 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 secHow many ‘good’ GPS fixes are required before the device will transmit a position. (1 GPS fix per second)
Hot StatusOff, OnWhether the GPS chip is kept powered at all times (helps fix speed and accuracy, reduces battery life)

Mailbox Checking

📘 Mailbox Check

For GSM-enabled RockFLEET and RockAIR devices, an Iridium Mail Check is performed on device activation to achieve network registration for MT ring calls.

NameOptionsNotes
Check StatusOff, OnWhether the device schedules regular ‘mailbox’ checks with the Iridium satellites. Not often used, since transmitting over satellite will also do a mailbox check by default each time.
Check Frequency5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min, 240 min, 360 min, 480 min, 720 minHow often the device will conduct a mailbox check with the satellites, regardless of transmission frequency or satellite/cellular mode

External Accessory/Data

📘 Available on selected models only

GPRS and Serial connectivity are available on the RockAIR and selected models of RockFLEET devices. The handheld RockSTAR device does not support GPRS or Serial data connectivity.

Input SensitivityAll Fast, 0/1/2 Fast, 0/1 Fast, 0 Fast, All SlowSwitch input speed sensitivity. Please refer to your provider for help with this option based on your installation.
GPRS StrategyNever, Always, PreferredHow the device will switch between Cellular and Satellite. Never means it will never use cellular. Preferred will use cellular whenever available, switching to satellite if not available. Always will never use satellite.
