Emergency Tracking
Emergency Tracking lets you receive status reports more frequently for untethered trailers over a specified period of time in emergency situations such as stolen trailers. If you are uncertain whether to use emergency tracking or pinging, see Ping or Emergency Tracking?
Note: Use of Emergency Tracking increases messaging costs and may drain
the terminal's battery more quickly. You must have permission to use Emergency
Tracking.
