4.3. Condition check commands
Condition check is a function which enables monitoring a target’s condition without having to specifically
request it by sending MPTP commands or making phone calls all the time. This is done by setting up a
condition check process on a terminal to take care of presenting queries which the user of the monitored
terminal must confirm.
The terminal will report to a Control Centre based on the user’s response to a query, or lack thereof. The
query may simply require the user to press a key to confirm it. Entering a secret passcode may also be
required.
Note that all modes and processes may not be supported by all instruments and versions
Condition check processes
A condition check process is defined by the following attributes:
1. Interval :
While running, the condition check process presents queries to the user at a specified interval.
2. Query style :
The style of a query determines whether it is be confirmed simply by pressing a key, or whether
entering a passcode is required. It also specifies the conditions for sending a report.
The available query styles are described below.
3. Stop trigger :
The condition check process stops presenting queries when this condition is met.
Typical stop triggers include a specific number of queries having been presented, a specific
duration of running or date and time having been reached.
A condition check process can be remotely set up by the Control Centre by sending a condition check
request MPTP command. The Mobile Telematics Terminal receiving such a message should then start a
new process with the parameters specified in the request. It is also possible to create a new process
locally on the terminal itself without a Control Centre requesting it.
The report command sent by a condition check process is described in section 4.3.1.
Only one condition check process can exist on a Mobile Telematics Terminal at any time. An existing
process needs to be stopped before creating a new one.
4.3.1. Condition check report local mode (!CIN)
MTT CC
The condition check report command is sent by a condition check process running on a Mobile Telematics
Terminal. The condition check process, with any of the trigger types, can either be set up locally or in
interactive mode. Interactive mode (CND) must be acknowledged.. The same kind of report is used for all
trigger types.
