- Click on the actions arrow next to the required mobile device and click edit.
The following options are configurable depending on the specific mobile device:
Any changes made on this screen will be made to all the devices in the library, but not cascaded to any existing mobile device templates.
Arming Delay
Note that you can set the duration the vehicle should be standing with the ignition and engine off before a trip will be considered complete. This is known as the arming delay. Thus, arming delay is the length of time that the vehicle must be inactive before a trip ends and the unit re-arms. If the ignition is switched on again, within the arming delay period, the trip will not be ended, and the normal standing delay rules will apply. See this page for a scenario.
Standing Delay
You can set the standing delay to determine the duration the vehicle should be stationary before the next movement starts a new sub-trip. Standing delay indicates the length of time that the vehicle must be stationary while in a trip before a sub-trip is ended and a new sub-trip started. See this page for a scenario.
Send active messages on sub-trip start and sub-trip end
When this is selected an active message will be raised at the start of a sub-trip and end of a sub-trip. Note that this requires a speed source. This is only available on FM units as this will be enabled on other devices by default.
The start of a trip will be recorded when Speed or Revs are detected OR:
Choose one of these alternative options -
- A driver is identified and the ignition is turned on.
- As soon as the ignition is turned on even if no driver has been identified. Please note that when an organization has been enabled for the ELD functionality, this option will be selected by default and the setting will be hidden for FM and MiX 4000 mobile device types.
Read Mobile device settings when ELD is enabled to see the other trip default settings.
By default, turning the ignition on will only start a trip if a driver has been identified. Note that the unit will always start a trip if speed or engine RPM is detected.
Recording Tacho data
Selecting these checkboxes will:
- Record interval (tacho) data only while in trip mode.
- Record interval (tacho) data only between trips (record while out of trip).
Note that downloading tacho at the end of every trip has a cost implication.
Switch off RS232 Comms when positive drive switches off (on when positive drive is on)
This setting enables users to switch the RS232 comms on and off with positive drive.
Keep serial RS232 comms active when positive drive is on. Do not enable serial comms when positive drive is off.
Enable Deep Sleep Mode
This enables maximum power saving mode by only checking for events once every 10 seconds. Insertin a plug or starting a trip will trun off power saving mode. This should only be enabled when the RS232 Comms option is selected. This will shut down unit power, starting with 6 configuration cycles (6 seconds), then progressively longer. Normal functions to wake up from sleep mode will still work, such as active “critical” messages. Note that this is only available on the FM units.
Only disarm the immobiliser relay while a valid driver code plug is in the socket or identification card is in the card reader.
Setting this allows and requires proper driver identification. Immobilise the mobile device when a valid driver plug or card is not detected. Thus, enabling this could cause the asset to stop if identification removed during a trip depending on how the immobiliser is connected.
Location of driver access list / Driver access control
There are two methods of managing Driver/Asset Access for FM units. The first method is storing the driver/asset access table on the blue driver code-plug and the second method is storing the driver/asset access table in the on-board computer (mobile device). By default, the driver/asset access table is stored on the blue driver code-plug. When this method is used, you may specify a list of up to 50 vehicles that the driver may access. If the driver/asset access table is stored in the on-board computer, a list of up to 500 drivers may be defined. For MiX 4000 and MiX 6000 devices the driver access control is only unit based (on the OBC) and there is no plug based method.
Use high-resolution trip distance
Normally the trip distance is in accuracy of 100 m and enabling high resolution will read the highest possible resolution from CAN (which is normally 5 m). This is a very good option for users with CAN-enabled devices or users who are interested in accurate measurements for sub-trips. Users tracking slow moving equipment such as agricultural machines or mining equipment can also use this feature for accurate readings. Note that this is only available on FM units.
Ignition threshold
Voltage above which the Ignition is considered to be on. Enter the value relevant to the asset.
Enable plug debug events
Enabling this option will write an entry in the log on the Timeline to indicate which plug was inserted. Some organisations require that the driver must insert the GSM Diagnostic plug and GPS Diagnostic plug before every trip to confirm that the unit is in working order. The log will then display an audit trail of whether this has been performed or not. Note that this is only available on FM units.
FM 300 features
A checkbox to enable GSM Supervision rollover that is used to detect GSM comms failures.
When enabling this the system will verify that the unit still has power, i.e. positive drive and comms, twenty-nine minutes after loading a new configuration. If it does not detect power or comms then a unit reset is performed one minute after the check. A system event will also trigger that is called "GSM supervision rollover detected".
External GPS antenna connected
Check this box if an enteral GPS antenna has been connected. (MiX 2000)
Ignition wired
Select the checkbox if ignition is wired, this is available for the MiX 2000, MiX 4000 and MiX 6000 device types.
Firmware version
This will show the preferred firmware versions that you made available in the firmware library and selected on the template.
Location speed monitoring
If the device is enabled for location speed monitoring, you will see the device settings here.
Command interpreter - Enable progressive shut down OTA
To enable progressive shut down over the air requires the relay drive to be connected correctly to stop the asset engine. Check this box if you want to enable this setting. (This is only available on the MiX 4000 and MiX 6000 devices types.)
Three Axis Accelerometer
You can set the:
- Lift off Detection Sensitivity
- Road Roughness Detection Sensitivity
- Pitch And Roll Detection Sensitivity
- Impact Detection Sensitivity

Require company ID on driver plug
This function prevents drivers using driver plugs on a different organisation than the one they belong to.
Protect against floating voltage on low voltage lines
This legacy setting was imported from FM Pro where an input line with very low voltages could result in getting false triggers if the line is floating. Enabling this will bias the input line low (pull to ground) in order to prevent any false triggers if the line if floating (not connected).
Note that this setting will only be useful when the input line is faulty or has been disconnected and the setting does not have any influence on inputs that have been installed correctly or are working correctly.
Increment Engine Hours
Engine hours can be recorded either:
- When Ignition is on or engine revs are detected.
- When both ignition is on and engine revs are detected.
If you enable the Recording of Engine Hours, you need to upload the event configuration to the on-board mobile device and set the on-board mobile device engine hours reading.
Service Reminders on Engine Hours can be set in the asset properties under Fleet Admin.
Buzzer
Specify how long the unit should beep to request the Driver ID if not identified when ignition is turned on - you can select 10 seconds, or until a driver is identified. You can also choose not to sound the buzzer at all. You can also customize and adjust the buzzer volume as required for the following:
- Buzzer Frequency
- Device driver beep volume
- Warning beep volume
- Information beep volume
- User event beep volume
- When ignition is turned on
