Input 5, Idle State: The final option is for the unit to send its idle state. The GPS-206 can be configured

to not send its state, to send a moving state or to send an idle state.

Figure 25: Idle Vehicle Reporting Options

Note: If the device will be used in a vehicle that will have a large number of starts and stops

it is highly recommended that this option is NOT USED. If used it may generate a large

number of packets and could cause the device to use more data than is allowed on its data plan.

Ignition Input Options: The GPS-206 can be instructed to send the ignition state when it changes. This

event is sent as Input 6. An Input 6 high to low state change packet is sent when the GPS-206 detects the

ignition is turned off. When the ignition is turned on an Input 6 low to high state change packet is sent.

Also, the GPS-206 performs a reset when the ignition goes active. The ignition state can be sent with or

without position.

It is recommended that the packet be sent without position information. This is because the device will

likely not have a GPS fix when the ignition goes from off to on due to the device resetting during this

activity.

Figure 26: Ignition Input Options

This option requires correct configuration of the Ignition and Power connections. Refer to

the GPS-206 manual for more information.

2.6.2 GPS-206 GeoStatus Options

The GPS-206 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-206

detects that it has entered or exited a GeoStatus area it will perform the programmed action and will not

look for any other GeoStatus actions.

To set the GeoStatus options double click on any cell in the desired row. The GeoStatus configuration

form will be displayed (see Figure 16: GeoStatus Configuration Details).

Enter the information for the GeoStatus on this form. The coordinates are entered in decimal degrees. The

value to enter can be obtained via FleetLinc or Power-trak3. The key data is limited to a maximum of 5

numeric characters. An entry of at least one character is required.

Coordinate Information: In FleetLinc or PowerTrak3 go to the map view and zoom into the area where

the GeoStatus should be. Position the cursor on the point where the center of the GeoStatus should be. In
