Overview
Once a Locator is paired to an equipment, the Locator will wake up to report the equipment's position. Below are the different types of conditions that will cause equipment position to get reported for the first time.
The Locator is double flipped, causing it to wake up and report its position.
The Locator wakes up once every hour while unpaired to check for new commands, like pairing. Due to this, the longest wait time for a new equipment position to be reported is 1 hour.
Each WiFi/Cell API position is cached using every access point's mac address. if one of those mac addresses is watched again, that position is used.
If any of the equipment in the table with the list of equipment are awaiting position updates, a position pending pop-up will be displayed in the top left-hand corner of the map. When this box is clicked, a pop-up will appear indicating the number of equipment awaiting position updates, as well as a link to the filtered view of the table containing only those position pending equipment.
Once that Locator reports a position, the associated equipment will update its location icon and become visible on the map.
