Restart a non-reporting vehicle tracker from Reveal

 

Leer en Español

This article explains how to restart a non-reporting vehicle tracker from Reveal using the Device Health Check panel.

You can access Device Health Check from the vehicle's context menu on Live Map.


The Device Health Check shows the following information:

  • Vehicle or asset name
  • Last update
  • Last status
  • Last known location
  • Tracker type
  • Tracker serial number (ESN)

If a Vehicle Data Device (VDD) or Xirgo tracker is installed in the vehicle, you can restart the tracker from within Reveal. For other tracker types (both vehicle and asset trackers), you will find troubleshooting information to help you get the tracker reporting again.
