Aspire GPS System Setup

Application Configuration

Once enrolled with Agilis, the system administrator will be able to log into the FleetSharp application to acquire an integration ID that you will copy and paste into the API Key field on the Aspire GPS Integration tab of the Aspire Application Configuration screen.     The screen elements on the Aspire GPS Integration tab of the Application Configuration screen are described in the following table:

The system administrator will record the IMEI number, also called the Aspire GPS Identifier that is visible on the monitoring device, and place the device into the equipment by plugging it into the vehicle’s diagnostic monitoring port. The Aspire GPS Identifier will allow you to tie the device to the vehicle in Aspire. The association is made by recording the IMEI number into the Aspire GPS Identifier field that is available in the Equipment screen in Aspire.

Additionally, the tracker type must be specified in the Tracker Type field as either Vehicle Tracker (tracks miles and driving data) or Asset Tracker (for equipment assets tracks hours of operation). When you change the value in the Tracker Type field and save, Aspire provides a confirmation.

For Asset Trackers, if the FleetSharp interface is properly established, and the equipment asset is tied to the GPS device as described above, Aspire will automatically request and update the meter readings for the equipment asset each day. These updates are based on the number of hours the equipment has run since the prior meter reading was recorded. Since these equipment readings are automatically updated daily, Crew Mobile does not include equipment assets that have been assigned an Aspire GPS Identifier to be included in the list of equipment for manual meter logging.

Route Setup

Aspire allows a primary vehicle to be tied to a route supporting equipment GPS tracking for the route.   The association between the primary vehicle and the route is defined by selecting the equipment item representing the vehicle in the Primary Vehicle field on the Route tab of the Route screen. The combo-box that displays the selection options displays all active equipment associated with the route’s branch that has not been assigned to another route. For each equipment item in the selection list, Aspire shows the following information: Asset Number, Model, and Equipment Description.

If an equipment item defined as the primary vehicle is being moved from one route to another, it is necessary to remove it from the first route before assigning it to the second route.
