PRISM TM FEATURES DEFINED
The Prism TM has many new features in addition to the features seen in the Standard units.
Below is an explanation of these features.
Long Inbound Messaging
Long Inbound Messaging (LIM) is a feature that allows the Prism TM to send alphanumeric form
fill messages that are longer than five form characters, up to 197 of free text or field characters.
With LIM comes a larger amount of applications such as bar code readers, credit card readers,
data terminals and driver identification can be supported. LIM requires a messaging terminal and
optional keyboard.
Scheduled Locations
A vehicle is able to send locates to the dispatcher without the workstation sending a request.
This means a vehicle can automatically send in a locate at the end of a designated amount of
time or distance. Now, if a vehicle is in motion, you will get locates at a given interval no matter if
the ignition is on or not. Further, the vehicle will send in located at a given interval if the ignition is
on no matter if the vehicle is moving or not (i.e. idling). By having location schedules in the Prism
