Alls changes made can be saved by clicking the ‘Save’ button.
Allowing this function means the application will analyse all incoming text messages to the telephone. If the text message is of a ‘specific format’ (see table below), the application will perform the related task.
| TEXT MESSAGE FORMAT |
APPLICATION TASK |
| POM_A_A1 |
Turn on monitoring in automatic saver mode. |
| POM_A_A2 or in shorter format simply POM A |
Turn on monitoring in automatic optimal mode. |
| POM_A_A3 |
Turn on monitoring in automatic intensive mode. |
| POM_D |
Turn off monitoring in application. |
| POM_INFO_{time} |
In place of {time}, enter the number of seconds from 1 to 60 for which the telephone will attempt to determine the current position of the telephone via GPS, e.g. POM_INFO_58 for a time of 58 seconds. If it is unable to determine position via GPS, it will find its position via BTS. Once the position has been determined, it sends a text message to the number from which the request came in the format:
POM: (Time of positioning) (Method of acquisition (G/B) (Longitude) (Latitude) and a link to http://maps.google.com/ to display the current position on a map.
If co-ordinates were unable to be obtained, the application sends this message:
POM NO DATA |
| POM_INFO |
This text message format is the same as the previous one, but it uses a default time setting of 60 seconds. |
