The DFT and the Trip Timer can be reset using the DZMx Connect app. Refer to the DZMx
Installation Manual for instructions on how to set the TTAF.
Short Burst Data (SBD) Document Transfer
Sending Documents to the DZMx
It is possible to send plain text emails to the DZMx via satellite SBD. Received documents are
viewed using the DZMx Connect app. NOTAM, weather, and passenger information can be
transmitted.
Prerequisites
To use this feature, the DZMx or DZMx Plus must be registered with TracPlus. They will
assign the unit a dedicated email address and ask for a list of nominated sender email
addresses. Only nominated senders will be able to send plain text emails to the DZMx or
DZMx Plus.
Transmission
The text must be in the body of the email and it must be sent in plain text format. HTML
formatted emails will be rejected. The email will be split by TracPlus into the required
number of SBD messages and then transmitted via Iridium. The sender will receive an
acknowledgement email saying that the document has been received by TracPlus and
forwarded to the DZMx. This acknowledgement does not guarantee delivery, only that it has
reached the Iridium gateway. If the DZMx is powered down when the email is sent, Iridium
will queue the message at the gateway and send it when the DZMx next comes online. The
DZMx will reassemble the separate SBD messages back into a single message and it can
be viewed using the DZMx Connect app.
Viewing the Email
Received emails are viewed by selecting SBD Inbox in the DZMx Connect app home page.
The SBD Inbox page will display a list of up to 10 received emails. For each email, the SBD
Inbox will show if the email is partial or complete, the originator, and the date and time sent.
Clicking on an email will display the email text. Partially received emails that have not yet
received all their SBD message parts can be read. In marginal signal conditions,
occasionally an SBD message will not be received by the DZMx. If an email is not received
completely after a reasonable length of time, contact the sender, and ask them to resend
the email.
Note
:
The TTAF reset is one-time only and it is important to set it correctly.
Note
:
TracPlus is the only tracking provider that supports this application
