Release 2.2.0 - (10/01/2012)

Common new features (Control Center + Terminals)

- Printable reports(vehicles/devices/drivers) These reports are available from Reports section or Fleet Manager In Fleet Manager, you can launch a report from the right list (there are 2 buttons: "Export/Print - List View" and "Export Print - Detailed View") or you can select the entities you need from the list and right click (like in the events list) The detailed report is also visible in the "Export/Print" tab (near the "Edit" tab) when you select a record (vehicle/device/driver) from the list.

- Export X1 events / Backup X1 events (avi or flv) The generated movies contains now an idrive text included in movie.

- Settings->Admin Settings->Device Settings The Wi-Fi settings are applied only to selected devices from the list

Control Center new features

- Settings->Admin Settings->Automatically delete events Ability to create backups over the network. In order to do this, the backup location must be added in the UNC format (\\server\directory). You must also set "Is backup location a network path" checkbox and insert the network user name/password. We have not tested this feature in Windows Server 2008 using Active Directory. If you want to test this feature, create some events and run the following sql command:

update events__x1 set download_date = '2000-01-01'

After that, restart the Sync Service


Sync Service new features

- Ability to synchronize the attachments and the images of vehicles / users See "Bus 1" vehicle and let me know if it has an attachment and an image - Solving some cilents issues regarding the vehicles/users sync

Terminals

Terminal activation

Each terminal has a unique software key generated from Admin Center.

The software key activation is executed at the first run of the terminal (after installation). After activation, you should add the base station info (the IP address and the name). You can add more base stations if they are sharing the same network.

Terminal patches

There is an automatic process. When a new patch is released, the Sync Service downloads the patch on the base station. When a client log in from terminal, he is notified about the new version (see the attached image). If the client decides to install the new version (in some cases, we may force the client to install the patch - like in the image), the setup files are copied from the base station to the terminal, the application is closed and the installer is started. The installer automatically uninstall the previous version and install the new one.

More info about terminals

- Every time when a client log in to a base station, the following information (log in date, OS version, RAM and processor info) are stored in the local CC database. These information (together with the software key) are uploaded in Global Center database by Sync Service, so we have some control about the terminals.

- Settings->Admin Settings->Terminal Settings (this tab is not available in CC) This module contains 2 options:

1. Deactivate license

This option is useful when the client wants to use a license key to another computer. After applying this option, he won't be able to log in back until a new software activation.

2. Limit cache to N MB of size

When the events are played from terminals, they are stored in the local computer. If the total size of the events is larger than the allocated cache size, the events are removed from the local computer until the size of the events become lower than the cache. This operation is executed in background every time when the events sections (X1 / D4 / OVERD) are closed.

- The following modules are not available from terminals

1. Idrive Settings 2. Settings->Admin Settings->Automatically delete events 3. Import 4. Ability to select/delete events

Release 2.1.3 - (08/17/2012)

  • Devart DotConnect deadlock fixed !
  • Add a log out link in the CC Main page
  • Settings->Admin Settings-> The backup settings are now available for the manually delete option.
