Requesting Interval History Manually
If it was not requested as an automatic work item, you can manually initiate a request for historical data from an ORION
Migratable or ORION Fixed Network (in mobile mode) endpoint by performing the following steps.
1. With the Current Reading tab selected on
the Service Details screen, click the Interval
History tab.
OTE:N “Not Required/Optional” displays at the
top of the screen to indicate that an
automatic work item was not requested.
The ”Days“ option buttons become active when
the mobile transceiver receives the mobile
message from the endpoint.
2. Select the button for the number of days:
7 Days, 14 Days, 30 Days, 60 Days, or All. For
additional information, see "Interval History" on
page 60.
