GPS Status Reporting Options: The status of the GPS signal can sent, if desired. It can be sent when the

signal is valid and when the signal is invalid for a programmable number of seconds.

Figure 12: GPS Status Reporting Options

The GPS-205 uses Input 4 to report the state of the GPS signal. If programmed to send a packet when

GPS is valid, the GPS-205 will send an Input 4 low to high state change packet (with position). If

programmed to send a packet when GPS is invalid for a specified number of seconds, the GPS-205 will

send an Input 4 high to low state change packet (without position since position is known to be invalid).

Idle Vehicle Reporting Options: The GPS-205 can be programmed to send a packet when it is idle

and/or started moving.

Figure 13: Idle Vehicle Reporting Options

To program the GPS-205 to send an Idle On packet (Input 5 state change low to high) enter a time (in

seconds) for which the GPS-205 must be idle before being considered idle. A value of 0 (zero) disables

this.

To program the GPS-205 to send an Idle Off (moving) packet (Input 5 state change high to low) check the

box. It should be noted that this could generate extra “moving” packets if the vehicle is idle for periods of

time that are less than the value programmed.

Geo Status Options: If using GeoStatuses as described in the following section the GPS-205 can be

programmed to the desired level of sensitivity for the entry or exit event that triggers the GeoStatus. This

is called GeoStatus Debounce. It is set by entering the number of consecutive GeoStatus positions

required to trigger an GeoStatus Entry or GeoStatus Exit event. It prevents a false reading when the

device is on the threshold of the GeoStatus.

2.5.2 GPS-205 GeoStatus Configuration

The GPS-205 can be programmed to send a status key with key data and position packet when it enters

and/or leaves a circular area. The area is defined as a radius (in meters) around a specified point. If an

area is defined that is simply a smaller area within another, larger, defined area it should have a higher

GeoStatus number. This is because the GeoStatuses are examined from high to low. If the GPS-205
