2.2. mist
®
LED
The “mist
®
LED” indicates whether the mist
®
radio within the GS-6C is active. The GS-6C can function
as a mist
®
mesh gateway supporting a mesh network 1000’s of mist
®
mesh nodes. In addition, the
mesh radio can be used to receive position beacons as a way to obtain an accurate location when
GPS/GNSS is not obtainable. In the presence of another mesh gateway, the GS-6C can use the mist®
network as an alternative communications path. The mist
®
LED has the following states:
LED off
mist
®
mesh radio is inactive
Blinking red
mist
®
radio is active, but is not accepting
nodes or is not joined to a network
Blinking green
mist
®
radio is active and is functioning as a
gateway or is joined to a network
2.3. Magnetic Sensor
The magnetic sensor can be used to cause the GS-6C to initiate a GPS/GNSS cycle followed by a
report cycle.
Note: This sensor is available as a configuration item to initiate a report with the unit on a bench, in a
box, or on a container with the doors open. It is intentionally not able to initiate a report when the unit is
on a container with doors closed. This is for security reasons. Someone outside the container should
not be able to trip the magnetic sensor.
2.4. Power Control
The removable battery pack is used to power the device. To turn the device off, separate the battery
pack from the main housing. To turn the device on, plug the battery pack into the main housing and
secure it with the mounting screws.
2.5. Rebooting GS-6C
To reboot or reset the GS-6C, release the battery screws, remove the battery pack, wait 5 seconds,
reinstall the battery pack, and then tighten the screws.
