Device First Activation

Device First Activation

Main steps how to get your unit active and ready for operation.

Note: We strictly recommend making the first activation in your office, using a reliable test bench.

I. Physical connection

 

  1. Open the device, put the SIM card in (PIN code must be taken off, preferably SIM with ability to receive SMS messages).

  2. Connect the device to the external power source (at least 8V). 3 wires are enough for testing and device activation:

    Plus (red wire) connect to the Plus of power supply.

    Minus (black wire) connect to the Minus (ground).

    IN5 (gray/black wire) connect to the plus of power supply (it is for testing in the office only, in the vehicle it should be connected to Ignition wire).


II. Device configuration

 

Step 1: Open the configuration web tool: https://xdm.xgfleet.eu/
Go to Devices tab. You will see all your devices. To find a specific device, enter its IMEI or part of it in search parameters section.

Step 3: Select preferred settings template for the device (Config) and save device settings.

Note: Setting template must be created before assigning it to the device (see instructions below).


III. Setting templates

 

Setting template is main operating script, which will be followed by device - it controls interfaces, data sending, times, track quality, parameters, outputs and more.

Note. Normally, you should have in your account at least one default template, created by our team, so use this default template.

You can use existing template, create new, or duplicate existing template and make needed adjustments.
