Low Cost Tracker - Activation Process

Before first use, Low-Cost Trackers must be activated from their dormant state to start measurements and send transmissions. Follow the steps below:

1. Install an NFC App:

• Use an NFC-enabled smartphone (Android or iPhone 7 and later).

• Download an NFC app from the Play Store or App Store.

2. Enable NFC on the Smartphone:

• Turn on NFC functionality in the phone’s settings.

• Open the installed NFC app.

3. Wake Up the Device:

• Hold the smartphone close to the Low-Cost Tracker and move it gently until the app detects the NFC tag.

4. Set Up the Tracker Configuration:

• Configure the device or group settings in the GIoT platform (refer to Low-Cost Tracker Configuration Parameters).

5. Trigger Configuration Update (Optional):

• To avoid waiting for 24 hours, gently shake the device for approximately 45 seconds.

• It triggers a motion detection event and sends the first message (Motion Start Event) to the GIoT .

6. Check for Updates:

• After the first message, the device will receive and apply any configuration updates available in the GIoT .

7. Verify Message Transmission:

View the first and subsequent messages in the GIoT under Events (refer to Checking if my Tracker is Sending Messages).

The activated device might take up to 2 days to appear on the GIOT platform.
