0 oMM 2.7: What’s New

Version 2.7 of the onBoard Mobility Manager contains major UI modifications
which are included in this section of the oMM User Guide. The remainder of
the guide contains information specific to oMM 2.6.
0.1 Gateway Tree and Dashboard Usability

The gateway tree has been modified to eliminate redundancy and improve
efficiency. The nominal events, colored icons (for thresholds) have been
removed from the list of gateways. Additionally, changes were made to the
filter box. The 24-hour icon, which limited the gateways to those which
actively reported data, was removed as was the blue circle icon which
enabled users to view gateways that did not report in. These features
continue to be available in the main panel of the dashboard.
Version 2.7 also includes better organizational capabilities. Gateways can

be organized in sub-groups in the gateway tree and the Dashboard maintains
the same group (folder) containment (see image below). To display the
individual gateways, click on the Name ID link of the folder.
oMG-ED-091001 iii
0.1.1 Groups and Sub-Groups

New in oMM 2.7 is Drag/drop enabled which allows users to easily move
(drag and drop) gateways. Note that care must be taken when enabling this
option.
0.2 VPN Call-Up

The following change has been made to the Dashboard tab:
VPNUpTime is now displayed as a column
o VPN call-up displays how long the tunnel has been up
 If the tunnel does not stay up (i.e. it bounces), there
is an issue with the VPN server or configuration
 Where the CallUp check displays how long a call
has been up (active with the WAN), the VPN call-up
displays how long the VPN link has been active
0.3 VPN Availability in Reports

The following reports now include VPN up-time information:
Network Availability
Availability Details
Link Utilization
0.4 WiFi Reports

Version 2.7 introduces new WiFi reports. Note that this is an option that
must be purchased and is only available for the Four Port Gateway, versions
3.4.1 and higher.
0.4.1 WiFi Coverage Report

The WiFi Report tallies all gateway WIFI network signal strengths within
geographic areas and plots a coverage map, assigning a color from green
(good SNR) to red (bad SNR). This report is best used to show an
aggregated result where one, or likely more than one, gateway visits each
area more than once over a greater period of time. The report is intended
iv oMG-ED-090301
produce a coverage report showing strong versus weak WiFi coverage. For
cases where there is only one gateway and that gateway visits each area
only once, use the WiFi Trails report. Aptracker must be enabled on the
oMG.
0.4.2 WiFi Access Points Report

The WiFi Access Points report locates and graphs all WiFi access points
observed by a gateway over the time range specified. Access points are
placed geographically based on weighted SNR triangulation of the individual
gateway readings. Green points indicate more reliable readings and red ones
less so. Below the graph is a table showing information about every WiFi
access point seen. This report is intended as an inventory tool of deployed
access points, used to compare against a master list and identify those that
are not functioning (missing) or incorrectly configured or placed (weak).
Aptracker must be enabled on the oMG.
0.4.3 WiFi Overlap Report

The WiFi Overlap report is similar to the WiFi Coverage report but provides a
more critical view. Instead of treating all readings in a geographic area as
identical, it requires that there be, at least, a minimum standard for signal
strength (SNR) and network redundancy (number of Access Points (AP)) at
each location. Clicking on a graphed area displays a detailed view of the
distinct geographic locations and APs detected in the area. This report is
intended as a means to identify thin coverage areas in the network (i.e.
locations that may have good signal but are not redundant or failure safe).
The report is best used for smaller time periods (e.g. one day or so) and
requires that aptracker be enabled on the oMG.
0.4.4 WiFi Trails Report

The WiFi Trails report graphs gateway position as a trail (continuous line) on
the map. Trail color indicates the WiFi signal strength of the gateway (green
is good, yellow is OK, red is bad). Circles of various sizes are used to
indicate locations where the gateway stops and, along with markers, can
display pop-up information for the location with options for greater detail.
This report is best used for a single gateway over a smaller time period (i.e.
one gateway trip) where the same location is not visited repeatedly. For
cases where there are more gateways, greater time periods or repeat visits,
consider using the WiFi Coverage report. Aptracker must be enabled on the
oMG.
oMG-ED-091001 v
0.5 Show Advanced Config

New to the oMM with version 2.7 is direct access to displaying the advanced
edit fields in the input fields for all reports. The feature continues to be
available under Options.
Click on the grey box to enable the feature. When enabled, the box is
orange.

1 Introduction
This document provides instruction for the use of reports on the onBoard
Mobility Manager (oMM).
1.1 Who Should Read This Guide?

The oMM is the management system that supports a fleet of onBoard Mobile
Gateways, typically installed in vehicles. oMM users typically include fleet
dispatch operators, fleet managers, IT support staff and vehicle maintenance
staff.
It is recommended that anyone using the oMM should read this guide.
1.2 What is the onBoard Mobility Manager?

The oMM is a powerful browser-based software application that enables
users to configure, monitor and analyze onBoard Mobile Gateways and
associated applications/accessories (such as Asset Manager Wi-Fi tags).
Each onBoard Mobile Gateway collects operational data in a log (e.g.

connection status, data transmitted/received, temperature of the unit, voltage
of the vehicle, GPS location data, etc.). The data logs from the Gateways are
transmitted over the wireless data network to a server. The oMM uses these
data logs to present current and historical activity.
The oMM is highly configurable to enable great flexibility between customer

situations. Business intelligence-style data presentation and reporting enable
users to leverage the large amount of data available from the Gateways.
The oMM also enables over-the-air changes to the Gateway software.
1.3 Version: onBoard Mobility Manager

The version is displayed on the login page, under the user name and
password fields.

help screen. The Help feature provides basic information about the oMM and
some sections redirect to In Motion‟s online knowledge base for greater
detail.
oMG-ED-091001 5
2.5 Gateway Tree

Also known as the onBoard Mobile Gateway (oMG), the gateway is the
hardware typically installed in a vehicle, although it can be installed in offices
or depots to take further advantage of the system‟s capabilities. As such, the
term gateway is used instead of vehicle.
Located on the left side of the screen, the gateway tree enables users to
select vehicle groups, sub-groups and individual gateways. The look and feel
is similar to traditional file management systems with folders and files.
Click on the group/sub-group/individual gateway to select it. This selection

will remain active when toggling between the main tabs (e.g. Dashboard to
Map). Additionally, when running reports, the gateway field is automatically
populated and can be changed by clicking on another group/sub-
group/gateway. Multiple items can be selected by holding down the Control
(Ctrl) key while clicking.
6 oMG-ED-090301
2.5.1 Filter Box

The Filter field for the gateway tree allows users to enter part or the entire
name of a gateway, or any other data label the gateway may have.
The image on the left shows the list of gateways displayed when nothing is
entered in the Filter field (i.e. show all gateways). The image on the right
shows only gateway names containing “H0”. The Filter field is not case
sensitive.
Note that the filter applies to all labels for each gateway. Therefore, a filter
will return data based not only on the name as it appears in the gateway tree
but also on any of its Dashboard items (e.g. IP address, Callup Link, Battery,
etc.).
Text in the Filter field can be edited or deleted by clicking Ion the X icon, to
the right of the field.

gateways.
oMG-ED-091001 11
3 Main Tabs
Located at the top left of the screen, the main tabs are used to navigate
through the various presentations of the information available in the oMM.
Click on a tab to select the view.
The tabs available depend upon the purchased options and the overall
configuration of the system. The main tabs cannot be altered by individual
users. However, administrators can add and remove tabs (go to Admin >
Users) if they own their own appliances. Clients using hosted services from
In Motion do not have the Admin > Users option.
3.1 Dashboard
Dashboard provides the main management view of the fleet. There are three
views available: List, Graph and Threshold.
List View Threshold View
Manual Refresh
Auto Refresh
Graph View
Notes:
The Auto Refresh feature refreshes the screen at the same rate that the
gateways report data. The default setting is On.
Click on the Manual Refresh icon to manually refresh the screen.
Threshold settings can be configured by going to Admin > Thresholds.

Hovering over the threshold definition displays the threshold settings (i.e.
which threshold setting has been crossed).
The list of statistics displayed on the dashboard is also configured through

Admin > Thresholds.
12 oMG-ED-090301
3.1.1 Dashboard: List View

The List view is the default view for the dashboard. Each parameter is
presented in columns, with each gateway appearing as a single row.
3.1.1.1 Parameters
The Dashboard items are made available by creating thresholds (see the
Admin > Thresholds section). Listed as parameters in the column
headings, descriptions for them can be found by hovering over the text in the
list of statistics (see the Admin > Stats section).
The default parameters are:
Name (ID): Displays the name given to the gateway by the user at set-up,
plus the gateway serial number (in brackets).
CallUPLink: The amount of time the call is up for the PCMCIA/Cardbus slot
1 connection.
Heartbeat: The time since the gateway last sent data to the server. The
format is HH:MM:SS.
IP Address: The IP (Internet protocol) address assigned to the most recent

Internet connection made by the gateway.
Battery: The voltage level of the vehicle‟s battery supplying power to the
gateway. The gateway has a built-in voltage meter which monitors voltage
and shuts down the unit if voltage levels are too low or too high.
GPS Satellites: The gateway is equipped with a 12-channel GPS receiver.

The number shown is the number of GPS satellites from which the gateway
is currently receiving signals.
Rx Data: The volume of data received by the gateway for the current day
(since midnight). Volume is measured in Megabytes (MB). E.g. 26.836MB.
Tx Data: The volume of data transmitted by the gateway for the current day
(since midnight). Volume is measured in Megabytes (MB). E.g. 13.526MB.
0
Temp Check: The temperature of the gateway, measured in Celsius ( C).
The gateway has a built-in temperature sensor.
oMG-ED-091001 13
3.1.2 List View: Color Coding

Color coded icons are used to show parameters which are outside of the
defined thresholds. Each parameter typically has two threshold levels.
Green: Operating normally, within thresholds
Yellow: Warning level threshold exceeded
Red: Error level threshold exceeded
Blue: No data available
Note that the colored icon next to the address (in the gateway tree panel)
indicates the overall health of the gateway, where the worst threshold level
for all parameters is shown.
For example, the 12V battery in the vehicle is typically set up with a warning
threshold (yellow) of less than 10.8V or greater than 14.7V. The error
threshold is set using less than 10.5V or greater than 15.0V. If all other
parameters are within the thresholds set (i.e. green) but the battery falls at
10.7V, then the colored icon next to Battery will be yellow. A yellow icon will
also be present in the far left of the main screen.
3.1.3 List View: Sorting

Data displayed in the list view columns can be sorted by clicking on the
column header. The triangle indicates which column is being sorted. When
the triangle is pointing up, data is in ascending order. When pointing down, it
is in descending order. The default is Name (ID).
14 oMG-ED-090301
3.1.4 Dashboard: Graph View

The Graph view displays the same parameters as the List view but
represented in graphical form. Gateways are represented on the Y axis, with
the parameter value on the X axis.
Values within defined thresholds appear green. Any values that are outside
of defined thresholds appear as yellow (warning state) or red (error state).
To enlarge a graph, click on the bars within the graph. To return to the multi-
graph view, click on Reset.
Some graphs can provide even greater detail. For further details for a single
gateway, click on a bar or data point within the graph. A new browser
window/tab will open, displaying the Stats for the gateway. The image below
shows greater detail for ReportIdleTime for a single gateway. For more
information, see the Admin > Stats tab section.
Note: Readonly distinguishes items that can be modified from those that
cannot.
oMG-ED-091001 15
3.1.5 Dashboard: Threshold View

The Threshold view provides a summary for each parameter, including:
1. Totals of each threshold status for the group of gateways selected
2. Minimum value for each parameter for the group of gateways
selected
3. Maximum value for each parameter for the group of gateways
selected
This view is beneficial because it provides a quick view of the

parameters that are out of threshold.
To display additional information about the status of the gateways, click on a

numeric value in a column.
For additional information about a particular parameter and to open the

Editing Threshold panel (in a new browser window), click on the ellipsis (…)
after the parameter name.
Click on Reset to return to the multi-graph display.
16 oMG-ED-090301
3.2 Events Tab

The Events tab provides a quick way to view events received by the Mobility
Manager for a specific time period. For advanced users, this feature is useful
for testing or troubleshooting gateways.
Select a group, sub-group or individual gateways from the gateway tree.
Enter text in the Filter field to help narrow the scope of the search.
Use the drop-down box to select the time period for which to display the data.
The options are All, Previous Hours, Previous Days, Previous Months and
Range. Enter the numerical information in the corresponding box. The above
image shows data from the previous 1 hour. Click on Search to call up the
data.
The data can be sorted by clicking on the column header.
Click on the Excel icon to export the list of events to Excel.
Note: Readonly distinguishes items that can be modified from those that
cannot.
oMG-ED-091001 17
3.3 Map Tab

The Map tab provides a geographical view of your fleet. Use the gateway
tree to select the group, sub-group or individual gateway to view on the map.
Each gateway is shown as a location on the map according to the most
recent location data transmitted.
Gateways are identified using numerical markers, with a list of details by

gateway shown to the right of the map. If the gateway is in warning or error
state for any threshold, the gateway marker will be yellow (warning) or red
(error), rather than green (no issues). To obtain detailed event information,
click on a gateway marker on the map.
To center the map for a single gateway, click on the gateway name in the list
to the right of the map.
Click on Manual Refresh to refresh the map.

4.2.1 Network: Availability Trend Report

The Availability Trend report shows the availability of each gateway as a
percentage, over a selected period of time. Availability percentage is defined
as the duration of time a gateway had a data connection (Cellular, Wi-Fi or
other) as a percentage of the total time period selected.
Note: the header of each report provides a description of the report.
Additional input fields:
Limit to map area: Use the drop-down menu to filter the search results
according to predefined zones (see the Admin > Zones section).
Limit to network types: Use to run the report for a certain type of network.
Click in the field to select the network type.
40 oMG-ED-090301
The report presents the results in both graphical and column/row formats for
Results by vehicle and results by vehicle and network. Clicking on a
gateway in the Node column will generate an Availability Details report for it
(see next section). Use the legend at the bottom of the report to determine
the results for the average percentages.
oMG-ED-091001 41
4.2.2 Network: Availability Details Report

The Availability Details report provides a graphical and detailed view of the
availability (connected to a wide area data network) of gateways in your fleet.
As with the availability trend report, availability percentage is defined as the
duration of time a gateway had a data connection (Cellular, Wi-Fi or other) as
a percentage of the total time period selected.
This report is best used as an initial bird's eye view into the state of a larger
number of gateways.
The fields for the Availability Details report are identical to those in the
Availability Trend report.
42 oMG-ED-090301
The results are demonstrated in the following image:
If a group of gateways is selected, the availability average (for the period of

time selected) for it is presented, by a bar graph, in the top header of the
report.
Below the top header, data for each gateway within the group is also
represented. The information includes an overall average availability bar
graph and numeric data, and pie charts that present data for the WAN cards
used by each gateway. Click on the percentage value link (to the right of a
gateway‟s bar graph) to open the Coverage Trail Map Report input form in a
new browser window. Run the report to show the actual locations of
good/poor coverage.
Note: click on the ellipsis (…) after a gateway name to collapse or expand
that gateway‟s results.
oMG-ED-091001 43
The All unit network summary section uses pie graphs to present a network
summary for each type of WAN card used by the group of gateways. This is
useful when comparing cards from two data carriers if cards are used side-
by-side across the field.
Finally, the Network per vehicle summary section presents numeric data for
the group‟s network availability per vehicle.
Note: Green represents good availability; yellow represents time periods

during which the gateway was not attempting to connect and red represents
time periods during which the gateway was attempting to connect but could
not.
The report includes the option to filter the results. Filter the report to only
show gateways with availability results that are less than the percentage
specified. This helps to highlight the problematic and unstable networks.
Additional information contained in the report:
Report interval: Time period covered by the report
Operational time: Total time excluding boot times
Offline time: Boot times
Overall availability during operation time: Summary of all links. This will
be the same as the individual link if only one link is used.
Link active: Total time the card(s) maintained a data connection and is being
used for traffic.
Calldown: Total time the card(s) attempted to connect but could not. Note
that for multiple cards, the result for calldown that appears in the overall
availability section (at the top) is the total time whereby none of the cards
could connect.
Callup: Total time that there is a callup but is not being used for traffic. This
includes the time it takes to verify a link.
Network boot time: Time taken for the gateway to boot up and the card to
make a data connection. Average, minimum and maximum times are shown.
IP Networks: List of IP networks used by the card at some point during the
time period.
44 oMG-ED-090301
4.2.3 Network: Coverage Map Report

This Coverage Map report tallies all gateway network connectivity states
within geographic areas and plots coverage, assigning a color between
green (good) and red (bad).
This report is best used to show an aggregated result where one or (likely)
more than one gateway visits each area more than once. It is also intended
as a means of identifying geographic regions where connectivity is a
systemic issue.
For cases where there is only one gateway and where that gateway visits
each area only once, use the Coverage Trail report instead.
Average call up %*: The default 95.0. This number determines the color
shading scale used, with percentages above this number shown in green.
Bad call up %*: The default 90.0. This number determines the color shading
scale. The better the coverage in your area, the higher these numbers should
be to highlight results less than 100%.
There is a values-to-color legend at the bottom of the map. By default,

locations where the gateway spent less than 30 seconds are not shown.
oMG-ED-091001 45
Clicking on shaded regions displays information pop-ups about values in that

area:
Pop-up details:
# vehicles: Shows the number of vehicles which contributed data to this

area.
Time up: Time a call up was maintained as a percentage of the total time a
gateway was in this area.
Time running: Total time a gateway was in this area.
Earliest event: First event that contributed data to this square.
Latest event: Last event that contributed data to this square.
# visits: Number of separate data log transmissions in this area that

contributed to this report.
Events: Click on the link to generate a more detailed report (below) on the
activity in the square. The map shows the specific area while beneath it, is a
list of each data point which contributed to the square. The date/time stamp
shows how frequently reports were received. In the Text column, the GPS
location is shown except where the call up or call down status changes.
46 oMG-ED-090301
Focus on this area: Click on the link to produce a more detailed coverage
map for the area covered by the original individual square. This feature is
useful for highlighting exact locations of poor coverage.
However, be aware that when focusing on a small area, the time spent by a
gateway in the area to generate the data may be small.
oMG-ED-091001 47
4.2.4 Network: Coverage Trails Report

The Coverage Trail report graphs gateway position as a continuous line (trail)
on the map. The trail color indicates the connectivity state of the gateway (a
legend is shown below the map).
This report is best used for a single gateway over a smaller time period (i.e.:
one gateway trip) where the same location is not visited repeatedly. For
cases of more gateways, larger time periods or repeat visits consider using
the Coverage Map report instead.
The fields for the Coverage Trail report are identical to those in the
Availability Trend and Availability Details reports.
The map displays various gateway event including the trip start and trip stop
points, and WAN card events. Small, medium and large green circles
indicate where gateways stopped (the larger circle indicates a longer stop
time). Black circle indicate where GPS signal was lost (often due to
underground parking). Blue triangle markers provide location information.
Click on any of the markers to open a pop-up that provides additional

information.
48 oMG-ED-090301
4.2.5 Network: Link Utilization Report

The Link Utilization report shows a high level of detail for WAN data link
connectivity state over time. It is best used for a small number of gateways
and is ideal for identifying connectivity issues that occur at specific times of
day.
The fields for the Link Utilization report are identical to those in the
Availability Trend, Availability Details and Coverage Trail reports.
A color-coded legend shows the various connectivity states. The name of

the card is used to indicate the link active state. Hovering over any point on
the graph displays the date, time, link name and its connectivity state and
connection duration.
oMG-ED-091001 49
For greater detail, click on any point on the graph to open up a new tab
showing each contributing event. This feature is recommended for advanced
users only.
The data below the map provides individual event records, with a location
link.
50 oMG-ED-090301
4.2.6 Misc: Configuration Audit Report

The Configuration Audit report allows users to view log file data which
would otherwise only be able to be viewed on the local craft interface
(LCI) by attaching a monitor directly to the gateway. This report should
only be used by advanced users.
Gateways*: The gateway(s) that is selected in the gateway tree will be

selected by default. To change it, enter the name manually. Click on Filter
to open the sub-filter options.
Config item time range*: Use the drop-down menu to select from All,
Previous Months, Previous Weeks, Previous Days or Range. Enter the
numeric value in the field. When Range is selected, use the calendar
pop-up to select the dates.
Configuration Categories: Select from the list the configuration

categories to include in the report
Show standard config items only: Enabled by default, this allows for
items not configurable through the LCI
Normalize network configs: Where cards are inserted into different

slots, this normalizes by card, not by card slot. The default is enabled.
Convert blank values to default: This returns any blank value to the
default given at manufacture. The default is enabled.
Skip disabled config entries: This ignores entries which are disabled.
The default is enabled. Uncheck this option to see disabled entries (e.g.
VPN, network links).
Find active networks and skip those that are not: The default is
enabled. Uncheck the option to see all networks configured on the
gateway.
The following report displays configuration items by category. Note that

for 6 gateways, 118 configuration items were detected (100+10+8).
See next page for image.
oMG-ED-091001 51
52 oMG-ED-090301
There is a color-coded legend in the header:
Green (Identical): The number of items that are identical across all
gateways
Yellow (Alternate): The configuration varies once across the node list
Red (Varied): The configuration varies twice or more across the node list
The following columns are also contained in the report:
Green circle: Status (same as above)
Config: Name of the configuration item
Popular value: Actual value of the configuration value
# Gateways: Count for the popular value. For green items, this is the
total number of gateways
Second popular value: For yellow and red items, where there is more
than one value, this value is the second most common
# Gateways: Count for the second popular value
No report: Number of gateways that did not set this configuration item
Note: Click on an item name in the report to expand the details.
A Gateway Exception Report is also available. This is a summary, by

gateway, of each configuration item not common to the fleet. The
software version is also included.
The following example shows that „Vehicle ID‟ (under „GPS Config‟) has 5
variations (i.e. 5 gateways have different values than Medic 2). This
places it in the „Red (varied)‟ category. This is expected because Vehicle
ID must be unique within the fleet. Additionally, „Beacon Server‟ (under
„Miscellaneous‟), only has 2 variations in „Medic 1‟ and „Truck 4‟, so it, too,
falls into the „Yellow (Alternate)‟ category.
Therefore:
Green (Identical): 100 items were identical across 6 gateways
Yellow (Alternate): 10 items had 2 variations
Red (Varied): 8 items had 5 variations
See next page for image.
oMG-ED-091001 53
4.2.7 Misc: Event Viewer Report

The Event Viewer report provides the raw events that were uploaded by the
gateways. These files contain a large amount of data in a format that is not
easily decoded. This report is recommended for advanced users only.
Log files to look at: The default, MHS1CriticalLog, monitors critical events.
Monitor additional events by selecting them from the list of available items.
Limit lines with text: If users know which event type is to be investigated,
enter the text from the line as a filter.
54 oMG-ED-090301
4.3 Reports for Optional Packages

The following reports are available only when the optional packages are
purchased. For more information about optional packages, see the Optional
Packages section.
4.3.1 Telemetry: Driving Behavior

The Driving Behavior report categorizes various telemetry-based, driving
behavior safety parameters (e.g. long idles, hard accelerations, excessive
speeding, etc.) and summarizes them across a range of vehicles over a time
period. This report is best used with multiple vehicles.
Speed warning*: The speed for which a warning state will be displayed for
being above the speed limit. The default is 70 (mph). Note that this
assumes a maximum speed limit of 65 mph. Lower this value if the
maximum limit is lower than 65 mph.
Speed error*: The speed for which an error state will be displayed for being
above the speed limit. The default is 80 (mph). Note that this assumes a
maximum speed limit of 65 mph. Lower this value if the maximum limit is
lower than 65 mph.
Acceleration warning*: The acceleration speed (mph/second) for which a

warning state will be displayed. The default is 5.
Acceleration error*: The acceleration speed (mph/second) for which an

error state will be displayed. The default is 10.
Deceleration warning*: The deceleration speed (mph/second) for which a

warning state will be displayed. The default is -5. This value implies hard
braking.
Deceleration error*: The deceleration speed (mph/second) for which a

warning state will be displayed. The default is -10. This value implies hard
braking.
RPM warning*: The RPM value for which a warning state will be displayed.
The default is 3500. This value implies high engine revolutions and can
contribute to such things as poor gas economy or
RPM error*: The RPM value for which a warning state will be displayed. The
default is 6000.
oMG-ED-091001 55
This report displays the warnings and errors for driving behavior. A vehicle‟s
average and maximum speeds are displayed, making identifying good and
poor driving easy. The amount of time a vehicle spent above the limits is
also available. RMP, quick acceleration and hard braking data is provided in
the number of occurrences.

4.3.2 Telemetry: Fuel Fillup

The Fuel Fillup report displays the data on the date/time, location and fuel fill-
up amounts. This report is good for correlating actual vehicle fuel fill-ups with
fuel bills and for identifying areas of potential fuel savings as well as for
comparing driving behavior across a fleet of the same vehicles performing
the same duties
Tank size*: Enter the size of the fuel tank (gallons)
Fuel cost*: Enter the cost of fuel (per gallon)
Minimum fill size*: Enter the minimum amount of fuel to be considered as a

fill-up (gallons)
The report displays the fuel fill-up locations on the map as numeric markers.
Clicking on a marker opens a pop-up with the address of the fueling station
and a list of vehicles that visited it for refueling. Additionally, the dates and
fill-up amounts are provided. Below the map, the same information is
provided in text form, along with distance, efficiency and the cost to fill up.

4.3.3 Telemetry: Fuel Consumption

The Fuel Consumption report calculates and reports the fuel consumption of
a range of vehicles over a period of time. Users must provide fuel capacities
and costs and is best used over a range of vehicles with similar fuel capacity.
Fuel consumed and the cost shown is calculated using a value returned for
percentage of fuel remaining in the tank. Several factors can affect the
accuracy of this, including terrain, ambient temperature and pressure. For
fleets with a variety of vehicle models (i.e. different fuel tank sizes and typical
fuel economy), it is recommended that similar vehicles be grouped before
using this report for multiple vehicle comparisons.
Fuel cost*: Enter the cost of fuel (per gallon)
This report displays the cumulative time each vehicle was in use along with
the time spent idling. It also calculates the fuel used, including when the
vehicle was idling. Finally, the report shows the fuel efficiency and the total
amount spent on fuel.

4.3.4 Telemetry: Fuel Consumption Trend

The Fuel Consumption Trend report calculates and reports fuel efficiency
(mpg) per time period over vehicles and date range. Trends may be the
result of factors such as shift changes or peak hour driving versus off-peak
driving. Use it to provide more details and greater information from the Fuel
Consumption report.
Additional input field:
The report displays the run time for each vehicle along with the average fuel
consumption. It also provides the fuel consumption per day.
4.3.5 Telemetry: Vehicle Diagnostics Report

The Vehicle Diagnostics report determines diagnostic information from
Telemetry-sourced vehicles (i.e. MIL, Voltage and Temperature) and reports
on ranges of values across a fleet of vehicles and a period of time. The
report is best used for many vehicles to provide a status overview for the
fleet.
Low voltage level*: The voltage level at which to be notified (volts)
High coolant temp*: The coolant level at which to be notified (Fahrenheit)
This report provides the minimum and maximum voltage levels to help
diagnose battery and electrical issues; the maximum coolant temperature to
diagnosis engine problems such as over-heating; the occurrences of MILs
(malfunction indicator lamps) and the Odometer distance driven with an MIL.
Additionally, if there are any troubles codes (i.e. On-Board Diagnostics
Parameter IDs or OBD-II PIDs) for the vehicles, they will appear in the report.
oMG-ED-091001 59
4.3.6 Telemetry: Odometer Check

The Odometer Check Accuracy Check report compares vehicle‟s odometer
and speedometer readings against similar values as reported by GPS, which
is considered more accurate. The differences are reported which are
intended to identify potential calibration issues across a fleet of vehicles.
Note that the odometer parameter is not a standard parameter and, as such,
may not be available on all vehicles. Also, if a vehicle travels in a built-up,
mountainous or forested area, acquiring a GPS fix may be intermittent and
cause differences between GPS and odometer.
This report displays the run time of the 9 vehicles, the cumulative time each
vehicle was in use, the odometer reading at the start of reporting and the
distance travelled. It also provides an average for the fleet.
60 oMG-ED-090301
4.3.7 Telemetry: Unauthorized Usage

The Unauthorized Usage report details the time spent driving the vehicle
while it is disconnected from the oMG (i.e. off), has no GPS (disconnected
GPS antenna), outside of the defined hours, or outside of the designated
zones. The intent is to detect when vehicles are being used outside of their
expected use conditions.
Allowed drive times: Enter the times during which vehicle use is permitted
(e.g. a driver‟s work hours). Blank implies all times are permitted.
Drive zones: Select the zones (e.g. a driver‟s territory) within which the
vehicles are expected to drive.
The report example shows that, in addition to the odometer details for 9
vehicles, two of them have engaged in unauthorized usage, as defined by
the oMM. Note the Distance with no OBD/Telemetry and Odometer Distance
with No GPS columns. If either of these readings are a significant portion of
the total distance traveled, users should investigate. It could identify an
employee who disconnected the GPS antenna for unauthorized vehicle use.
4.3.8 Assets: Asset Usage Summary

The Asset Usage Summary report provides a summary view of assets
managed by the fleet of vehicles. Output shows a summary of the
percentage of time the Asset was in range of the gateway to which it was
assigned.
oMG-ED-091001 61
4.3.9 Assets: Asset History

The Asset History report provides the known history of a selected asset over
a specific time range. Assets are plotted on a map and move over time.
Assets can be transferred from one gateway to another and this is reflected
on the map. This report is best used to track the performance of a single
asset over a period of time and across one or more vehicles.
The length of time is represented visually using small, medium and large
circles, corresponding to the small, medium and long idle times entered. To
prevent false alarms, it is recommended that the time an asset is away from
a vehicle before being marked missing is at least 10 minutes. However, this
will delay email alerts for assets that are left behind.
Limit to map area: From the drop-down menu, select the area for which to
limit the area. The default is none.
Time an asset needs to be lost before marked MISSING: Enter the value
after which the asset is considered missing (in minutes). The default is 10.
Report only on assigned assets: When enabled, reporting will be limited to

assets which have been assigned to vehicles. The default is enabled.
4.3.10 Assets: Vehicle Assets

The Vehicle Assets report is similar to the Asset History except that this
focuses on all assets in a vehicle over a period of time. It graphs the
locations of vehicles and assets whether they are in or out of the vehicle.
The report does not search for other vehicles recognizing the selected assets
within this time frame. It is best used to obtain a summary of asset
performance (or usage) for assets assigned to specific vehicles.
The input fields are identical to the Asset History report.

4.4 Templates
Templates are scheduled reports to be run in the future. Users can configure
the report to run on a scheduled day at a specific time.
The example below shows that the Availability Trend was scheduled for one
gateway, for two different days while the Event Viewer Reports was
scheduled for 3 different gateways.
To edit a report, click on its name. To delete a report (or several), checkmark
it and click on Delete.

(OBDII), vehicle diagnostic information, such as odometer, fuel level and
warning lights, is interpreted and presented.
Not all Dashboard items are applicable to the Telemetry panel. Go to

Options > Preferences and add the necessary items to the Dashboard.
5.3 Total Reach Tab

From the Total Reach tab, users can run a VNC (Virtual Network
Computing) session to connect to a VNC server on a host (e.g. laptop)
connecting to an oMG. By connecting to a device (e.g. laptops, handhelds,
etc.) in the oMG LAN or Vehicle Area Network (VAN), this feature is similar to
running Remote Desktop. Multiple computers on the oMG can be accessed
simultaneously.
To connect to a session, click on the Hostname link.
66 oMG-ED-090301
5.4 Assets Tab

The Assets tab displays data about the fleet‟s optional equipment and to
which gateway the equipment is assigned. The information displayed allows
users to track the equipment in transit but also warns when it is no longer in
the vehicle (State column). Additionally, the exact location is available which
makes for easy retrieval if the equipment is left out of the vehicle.
The default name for the assets is their unique ID. To add a new asset, click
on Add. Enter the information and click on Save.
To edit as asset, click on the individual asset, in the Unique RF ID column, to

open the Editing panel. Update the information and click on Save.
The Editing panel can also be used to delete assets from the oMM.
