Ntrepid Corporation Proprietary InformationNtrepid Corporation Proprietary Information ELUSIV 32 ELUSIVHummingbird GPS Tracking System Quick Start GuideEVEThe ELUSIV Visualization Environment (EVE)™ provides the ability to track, communicate with, and program ELUSIV tracking devices over-the-air. EVE Mobile is pre-installed on a smartphone or tablet. EVE Web is a web browser-based application.Comm modesThe Hummingbird can operate in two modes:• Server mode: the Hummingbird communicates with the EVE cloud-based server. EVE Web and EVE Mobile get data to/from the Hummingbird through the server.• SMS mode: the Hummingbird communicates directly with EVE Mobile via SMS text message. EVE Web cannot use SMS mode.Server mode requires cellular data service. If data service is not available to the Hummingbird, the user can switch to SMS mode or wait until the Hummingbird regains data service, at which time it will transmit all data and locations stored while data service was unavailable.The EVE Mobile User Guide has more details about Comm modes and changing mode.Logging in to the EVE server (EVE Mobile or EVE Web)If you use Server mode, your organization’s administrator should provide you with a username and password. In EVE Mobile, you will be prompted for this info when you start the app. To log in to EVE Web, go to https://eve.elusivtracking.com.NOTE: You must use “https” (not just “http”) in the web address, or else you will be unable to log in. 3. When fully charged, the Hummingbird’s blue LED will extinguish. The green LED will then blink for 30 seconds to indicate that the device is in STANDBY. 4. To start tracking with the Hummingbird, press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the green LED will begin blinking rapidly while the startup sequence runs. Note: When the Hummingbird makes the charging connection, it will automatically enter standby mode and begin charging. So, even if the Hummingbird was ON when it was placed on the charging pad, you must turn it on before it will start tracking.Hummingbird power statesThe Hummingbird has two power states: ON and STANDBY. The Hummingbird is only fully “off” if the battery drains completely. In STANDBY mode, the Hummingbird runs only vital processes and battery consumption is extremely low. To check the current mode of the Hummingbird, press the Hummingbird power button briefly (less than 2 seconds). The blue LED should light while the button is depressed. If the light is red or does not come on, the Hummingbird needs to be recharged.Once the button is released, if the green LED blinks slowly for 30 seconds the Hummingbird is in STANDBY mode and ready to be activated. If there is no LED light after the button is released, then the Hummingbird is ON and ready to track.When the Hummingbird is in STANDBY, holding the power button for at least 5 seconds will turn it ON and the green LED will blink rapidly while the startup sequence runs. When the Hummingbird is ON, holding the power button for at least 10 seconds will place it in STANDBY and the green LED will blink slowly for 30 seconds. NOTE: When the Hummingbird is ON, you can quickly put it into STANDBY mode by placing it on the charging pad, and removing it after it makes the charging connection.

To avoid waiting the Comm interval time for changes to take effect, you can put the Hummingbird in STANDBY and then turn it back ON. Upon starting up, the device will immediately connect to the cellular network to look for any messages. Setting geofences in EVEA geofence is a geographic area bounded by a user-created “fence”, which can be drawn in EVE as a 3 to 6 sided shape. A geofence could be as small as a building perimeter or could span multiple continents. Geofences can be used to provide notifications when the Hummingbird enters or leaves an area, and/or to automatically change the Hummingbird’s settings when it crosses into or out of a geofence area.In EVE Web, follow the steps above to get to the Hummingbird device settings window. At the bottom of this window, click on Add to create a geofence. A wizard will guide you through geofence setup, including setting Crossing Actions. The geofence corners and the entire geofence can be moved by dragging them to new points. The geofence can be scaled by clicking and dragging the “Resize geofence” icon.In EVE Mobile, from the Main Menu, select Device Control and ensure the Hummingbird’s ID is displayed. Touch Geofence Setup. A map screen will appear. To show the geofence menu, press the phone’s Menu button or slide left the triangular “handle” on the right edge of the screen. Touch Add in this menu to begin geofence setup. The geofence corners and/or the entire geofence can be moved by dragging them to new points.
