SHIPPING MODE
The Polaris/Anatares/ Andromeda device fresh out of the box is in state Shipping.Shipping state the device consumes low power, and is in a state of constant sleep.
How to check if the device is in shipping mode and to get out of shipping mode.
Swipe the Magnet once - the whitish pink LED will Blink for 5 seconds
Swiping the device a second Time will get the device to go out from Shipping to activation mode.
Activation Mode
In this mode, the device will try to establish a connection to the cellular network, the Incyt Platform via authenticated connection, and then Configure the device to finally activate the device.
We can call it the two Traffic light sequence that the device needs to go through .
Red, Orange, Green, Red, Orange, Green.
For each of the sequence, the LED would blink for a 0.5 second duty cycle and blink until its current stage is complete. ie,
1. 0.5 second Blinking RED - the device is attempting to connect to the network . Once cellular connection is established it will move onto the next stage.
2. 0.5 second Blinking Orange - the device has successfully connected to the network and is attempting to connect to the Incyt platform via its FACTORY AUTHENTICATION (BOOTSTRAP CERTIFICATE/FACTORY KEY) (COMMISSIONING PHASE)
3. 0.5 second Blinking GREEN- the device has successfully established an authenticated connection to the platform using its FACTORY KEY and is now downloading is EVERYDAY USE KEY (PRODUCTION CERTIFCATE), for establishing the connection in the future/from now on.
4. 0.5 second Blinking RED- you may even not see this stage because cellular connection is still established and live.
5. 0.5 second Blinking ORANGE - Using the EVERYDAY USE KEY to establish a connection to the network, if the device fails at this stage, that means that the certificate that is download has an error. But if everything goes well it will proceed to the next stage.
6. 0.5 second Blinking GREEN - The device is now established an authenticated network connection to the INCYT platform via the EVERYDAY USE KEY, and now is trying to download the config for the device. If everything goes well, the device will have configured the device successfully and then would resolve its GPS CO-ORDs and then data packet, and would proceed to the next state.
7. SOLID White for 3/5 seconds- The device is now activated.
Failure in any phase of activation
If the device fails in any of the activation phases, the device would, go retry mode.
A short heartbeat like double blink of the RED LED. A short double red blink every 5 seconds for about 60 seconds until it retries again.
Activated Device - ACTIVE MODE
Once the device is active if you swipe once, the device will Blink the a SOLID RED/ORANGE/GREEN according to the state of the device's last self test.1. GREEN- All OK
2. ORANGE- Temporary Issue
3. RED- Permanent Issue (We can still get out of it.)
(Details on the LED state is out of the scope of this document). But by swiping once you can know if the device is ACTIVE MODE. To confirm twice if the device is in active mode, swipe a second time (if the device is no busy and is in the IDLE state), THE LED should go Blue.
SELF TEST MODE
Once you device is in active mode, if you Swipe once the device will blink a SOLID
RED/ORANGE/GREEN according to the results from the previous self test the device had done.
If you swipe a second time. If the Device still blinks the same LED colour, that means the device is busy and you should wait for the device to go back into its IDLE state which should take about a minute or two.
If the device becomes back to IDLE state.
SWIPE 1 - RED/ORANGE/GREEN
SWIPE 2 - SINGLE SHORT 0.5 second BLUE Blink
SWIPE 3- DOUBLE SHORT 0.2 second BLUE Blink
SWIPE 4 - QUAD Short BLUE Blink, and then the device will go into Self Test Mode.
Then device will go into Blink 0.5 seconds Pinkish WHITE, for 10 seconds and go into self test mode for about 3-4 minutes.
The device will then complete a self test, and try to resolve the GPS coordinates at the end of the self test. This is one way you can force the device to push a data packet.
During the self test mode the Device will be busy and you wont be able to do anything with that device.
