Configuring the Message/Wake Schedule
The Schedule tab determines time periods throughout the day when the TROLL Link
Telemetry System turns on to send SMS messages, or turns on and waits to receive a
dial-up or TCP/IP connection from Win-Situ 5 Plus. These time periods are called
Message/Wake periods. Message periods occur when the TROLL Link is set to SMS
mode, while Wake periods occur when the TROLL Link is set to dial-up or TCP/IP
mode.
Message/Wake periods may occur several times a day. Scheduling these periods
prevents the TROLL Link Telemetry System from draining the battery.
Create a schedule by selecting and clearing Message/Wake periods in the
Message/Wake field. Another way to create a schedule is to adjust certain time
parameters in the Create a Schedule field. Once the parameters are adjusted, all
Message/Wake periods that fall within those parameters are selected.
In-Situ Inc. recommends that you make each Message/Wake period less than two
hours.
1. Click the Schedule tab.
2. Manually select or clear Message/Wake periods under the Message/Wake
Schedule section. Use the Select All button to select all available Message/Wake
periods. Use the Clear All button to remove all selected periods.
Select Message/Wake periods based on when you are typically
available to receive messages or have the ability to dial-
up/connect to the TROLL Link Telemetry System.
