How to change the records sending order

Record sending order in Ruptela devices lets you change how accumulated records are sent to the server. This helps when the last known vehicle location is critical but may affect performance. This article explains how to adjust the order.

Explanation:

By default, the FM device sends records according to the configured data sending settings, sending the oldest records first (FIFO order). In a typical configuration, records are sent regularly, and the device does not have a lot of unsent records in the buffer, thus the record sending order has little effect on device operation.

In some cases, the device cannot reach the server for a longer time, or the configuration is made in such a way that records are sent in long intervals. Because of this, records accumulate in the buffer, and the record sending order starts to matter.

In some applications, for instance vehicle security, it is important to have the latest vehicle data. If there is a large buffer of records and oldest records are sent first from the buffer, it can take some time until the latest vehicle data is received. In this case, the record sending order can be switched, so that the newest records are sent first (LIFO order).

Guidelines:

Follow these steps to change the records sending order to your device:

1. Open the configurator and select or connect your device

2. Press CTRL+L to reveal the Record order settings next to the Send identification string checkbox:

3. Select your preferred record order, do not forget to send the configuration to the device

Points of interest:

· If the device is configured to send the newest records first, it MUST NOT send any data to TrustTrack or any other server that does not support this record order.

· Configuring the device to send newest records first will have an impact on its overall performance, make sure that you understand the possible outcomes before doing so.
