Device configuration

The configuration parameters for SmartMonitor devices are defined via SmartView. (Please see SmartView User Manual and SmartView Login Page).

The relevant configuration is applied to the shipment/site/sector or directly to the device in SmartView.

Once the allocation in SmartView has been completed, the device is ready for set up.

When performing the SmartMonitor setup, the configuration will be automatically downloaded to the device via cloud synchronization with SmartView. If the cloud cannot be reached upon setup, manual configuration via USB is required. The configuration file must always be generated via SmartView to ensure a single source of truth.

Learn how to set up the configuration policy in SmartView and apply it to your SmartMonitor device.

If you would like to configure the device before starting to monitor in order to verify the configuration policy ID and/or shipment/sector name triple push the multifunctional button in quick succession. This will initiate cloud synchronization to download the configuration. Otherwise, cloud synchronization and download of configuration will take place on cloud synchronization interval, when connective is available.

Startable configuration

Startable configuration can be defined in SmartView.

When the function is disabled, the SmartMonitor can be started anytime and the associated shipment/sector configuration policy becomes effective upon the first successful synchronization.

SmartMonitor start prevention

Prevent the start of SmartMonitor until assigning and downloading of another, startable configuration policy in SmartView.
When the function is enabled, the SmartMonitor cannot be started by pushing the multifunctional button.

If a start prevention is defined in SmartView, the SmartMonitor displays “PERFORM SETUP” and “DO:SETUP” (as static information) on the screen. The device configuration is required.

After completing the setup in SmartView, a triple push of the multifunctional button is required to synchronize configuration policy. After successful synchronization, the SmartMonitor can be started.

!Do not enable on configuration policies intended for shipments or sectors.
