Setting up a Geo-Fence Alarm
A geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real world geographic area. A geo-fence
could be set around a neighbourhood, a school’s boundary or a residence. Once a
geo-fence is set up, a notication can be sent to an authorised number when the
GPS tracker enters or exits the predened area.
Note: While you can set up a geo-fence using an SMS, it is recommended you use
the Web service. We recommend only advanced users set up a Geo-Fence using SMS
commands.
1. To set up a geo-fence alarm around current location of the Cocoon GPS
Tracker, send an SMS to the Cocoon GPS Tracker in the following format:
SMS [PASSWORD]+I+(1-3),(0-1),(0-1),(001-999)(M/KM)
For example, if your password is 123456 and you wanted to set geo-fence 1 to be on 100
meters around the GPS trackers’ current location and to send an alarm when the GPS
leaves the geo-fence, you would SMS 123456I1,1,0,100M to the Cocoon GPS Tracker
2. If successful the device will alert you when the unit enters/leaves the
dened geo-fence area
3. You will receive an SMS in the following format: “Geo Alarm!+Geo Info”
Geo Fence number. Value can be 1-3
