PRISM TM FUNCTIONALITY
The Prism TM is designed to behave the same way as the VLU
plus
unit and have the same
features available. However, the Prism TM is not as programmable as the VLU
plus
. Instead of
having a script, the Prism TM has a hard coded set of instructions that can have some small
configuration changes. Below is a list of how the unit will act by default; changes to the
configuration will be a future implementation. See Unit Four for a description of the features
available, as well as, a feature comparison between all the Teletrac units.

The Prism TM can also be programmed with landmarks, either rectangles or circles. When a
vehicle goes into or out of the zone a message is sent in, no matter what time of day it is.
Programming the unit with the Lat/Long of the center then either the radius of the circle or the
distance North/South and East/West in meters creates a landmark.
