System Screen.
The Firmware Version screen displays the different software versions (and
hardware versions) installed in the MCP100. The System icon (satellite dish) takes you to this
screen; then tap the System tab.
System Verification.
A functional system check that should be performed after installation
and periodically to verify that the MCP100 is operating properly.
TDM.
See Terrestrial Data Modem.
Terrestrial Antenna.
Transmits information with the PCS receiver for data transmission and
the GPS receiver for positioning information.
Terrestrial Data Modem (TDM).
This is the wireless modem that connects the antenna to the
MAS.
Terrestrial Data Modem Cable.
The TDM cable connects the TDM to the mobile application
server.
Text-to-Speech (TTS).
A feature of the MCP100 that converts text messages or alerts to
spoken words which are then played through an audio speaker.
Total Distance.
The accumulated distance traveled by a vehicle during its operation. The
MCP100 collects distance data in one of three ways:
• Modern electronic truck engines provide distance data via the engine controller module
(ECM).
• In some older electronic engines, total distance is not available through the ECM and the
MCP100 uses input from the speed sensor and the available J1708/1587 data to calculate
distance.
• In non-electronic trucks, the speed sensor provides both speed and distance data.
Traditional Sensors Network.
The MCP100 monitors speed directly via the speed
transducer on the transmission and RPM via the transmission fly wheel.
See
J1708/1587
Network and J1939 Network.
Traditional Sensors Enabled.
“Traditional sensors enabled” means that the MCP100 has
been set up to look at traditional sensors via the traditional sensors data link. The dispatch
computer operator must send a message to the MCP100 that “tells” it to understand input
from the traditional sensors and define speed and RPM.
Trailer Tracks System.
An optional MCP100 feature that allows dispatch to monitor trailer
connects and disconnects. The Trailer Tracks system can also monitor the refrigeration unit
of the trailer.
