Figure 62: Configuring Probes parameters
The key parameters for each probe are the IMEI number and GSM number complete with country code.
The colour is used to identify the current location of each probe on the map with a coloured circle.
Probes may be classed as ‘static’, ‘mobile’ or ‘Not in Use’ – there is no difference in function except for
allowing the user to group and filter results based on these classes. In addition, static probes may be
assigned coordinates in this form that will be used by the server for the probe location if the probe is
unable to use GPS (static probes are intended to be used inside buildings where GPS coverage may not
be possible).
The ‘RSSI Threshold’ parameter allows the user to define a minimum signal level that applies to just this
probe. The parameter is used in the Summary analysis and is intended for use with static probes
monitoring a single base site where the RSSI level will be fairly constant. The value will need to be set
once the probe has been installed and the actual RSSI level is known.
The ‘Custom Monitor Icon’ allows a shape to be superimposed onto the Monitor event on the map to help
distinguish which events belong to which probes.
