FAQ

Bitrek Cicada leftover questions

Does CICADA send Codec 8 AVL records?

No. CICADA is the autonomous beacon dialect for the BI 310. TREK fleet units use Codec 8 on the Teltonika row.

What unit is listed for CICADA?

The BI 310 CICADA. TREK BI 5xx, 8xx, and 9xx units are not this dialect.

Why does a CICADA wakeup arrive without a map fix?

A wakeup can carry battery, cell, and sleep reason without a valid GNSS pair. A map point needs position.valid with latitude and longitude.

How does CICADA mark a fix as usable?

The record carries position.valid plus lat/lon. HDOP, PDOP, VDOP, and satellite count are extras. GPS-error or cell-only records will not plot.

Can a CICADA unit run SMS setup or a controlled-action flow?

This dialect is positions only. The BI 310 is a battery beacon. There is no SMS family and no immobilizer output on this row.
