Creating Assets 

Creating Assets in Telematics Guru Asset Duplication is not supported on ALR

Live View

Once you have created the assets, you should be able to see on the Live View - you will need to wait until the devices to report their location (either when the heartbeat or when they move).
The map will zoom in to the asset by clicking on the Asset name on the list on the right

You can also view assets on the live view map by clicking the location in the Assets Tab.

Address Book

The Address Book is where contacts are set up in TG. Contacts are notified by alerts. You need an Address Book entry to send an alert, so set up your Address Book before creating an alert.
Admin Tab -> Address Book

Recovery Mode

Recovery mode can be used to help recover a stolen asset. When set, a device reports more frequently, and begins 'live tracking' when on the move.
This can be enabled within the Asset Tab view.

Immobilsation

Immobilisation can safely disable vehicles and equipment remotely. More info here - Immobilisation Install - Asset can be immobilised from server 

Make sure to enable this feature within the Telematics Guru website.
 

To immobilise an asset, the Telematics Guru website or the mobile app can be used.

Movement Alerts

Movement Alert is a one-touch feature to allow the user to set an "anchor" to the asset so that it will notify the user when it next moves. It is ideal for trailers, recreational equipment, horse floats, boats, motorbikes, dollies, equipment, and even vehicles where the user is concerned about theft of an asset when leaving it temporarily at a location. 

Note: Once the asset moves and a movement alert is fired, the user will need to set/enable the alert again to be notified of the next movement. These alerts are not ‘permanent’.

Battery Low and Devices Not Connected Alerts

Apart from Movement Alerts, ALR supports External Power Removed and Low Battery alerts, allowing partners to manage their clients' devices.

Admin Tab -> Alerts -> New Alert Wizard. 

More info, please see Set up an Alert with the Wizard, External Power Removed Alerts and Battery Level Monitoring
