12. Email Dispatch of the Tracking Data
TheGX111isabletosendthetrackingdatasavedwiththecommandTRACKbyemail.However,thisrequiresadvan-
cedknowledgeintheareaofSMTPprotocol,internetarchitecture,emailconguration,etc.
Problem server timeout, bad data connection, GPRS speed:
TheproducthasaGPRSmoduleandthusamaximumuploaddataspeed(fromtheGX111totheInternet)of53.6
kbit/s.
Evenunderthebestconditions,completeuploadingofthetrackingdatawouldtakeatleast8minutes.
AtGSMradiomastchange,inruralareas(weaksignal),withhighnetworkutilisation(conurbations)orotherdifcul-
ties,theremaybeinterruptionsoftheemail-serverconnection.
Thelongeraconnectiontakes,thehighertheprobabilityofcancellation.Itcannotbepredictedhowlongtheconnec-
tion is retained and how high the data rate will be.
Therefore,youastheuseroftheGX111mustdecidewhat„Risk“istobetakenforthetransmissionvolume.Each
unsuccessfulattemptwillbechargedbytheGSMprovider,nomatteriftheemailwassentsuccessfullyornot.
Forthisreason,theareaandthusthedatavolumetobetransferred,ischosenwhensendingthetrackingdata.The
biggerthedatavolume,thebiggertherisk.Theareainputpermitstransmissionofthememoryinseveralsmallsteps.
 Duetothecomplexityofthemanyvariationoptions,thetechnicalsupportforthisareaislimited.Onlyhelp

is set and whether the email server even permits an incoming connection can only be answered by the
email provider.
