4.3 Configuring Probes
This functionality is only available to admin users and above.
Probes may be configured, enabled/disabled and have new firmware downloaded all controlled from the
Aries web page as shown below:
Figure 61: Configuring Probes
Probes continually check the server to see if there is a new configuration or software version to download.
Usually a probe will detect that there is an update within 60secs however if the probe is out of GSM
coverage then this may take longer. If the probe has not responded within 10 mins then the server will
send an encrypted SMS to the probe (if this functionality has been enabled for the server). The probe will
validate the SMS by checking the IMEI number embedded in the SMS and then react accordingly.
