Idrive Control Center 2.0 Internal Admin User’s Guide
New Transfer Module
The new module contains the following components: - Search section (calendar or standard). By default the last 2 days are selected. You can also perform a search by a specific vehicle. - The organizational tree of the vehicles. The vehicles marked with bold have transfer logs in the selected interval. - Transfer Activities List (the top list of the page). This list is populated when a new Wi-Fi connection is available and it is NOT refreshed when a search is applied. - Transfer Logs tab. - Internal Logs tab (by default this tab is visible ONLY for Idrive users). - Router Report tab (by default this tab is visible ONLY for Idrive users). If you want to see the transfer logs/internal logs/router report for a given vehicle, you have to click that vehicle in the organizational tree. If you want to see the same information for all vehicles, you have to click the company name in the tree (or click on Search button and make sure that the search vehicle field is empty). Also, you can click on the pictogram from the Transfer Activities list. This link will load the logs for selected vehicle (if exists) but only for the current date. Transfer Logs Below are the differences between the old transfer logs and new transfer logs: - An icon representing the status of the connection: -> successful -> interrupted -> pending (too many connections per router) - An icon representing the type of the connection: -> Wi-Fi -> Import - In the old implementation, all transfer logs are displayed in the list. So, if a device looses the connection 50 consecutive times, all 50 connections are displayed in the logs. In the new implementation, when a new log is saved in the database, the application is looking for the previous log of the same device. If the status of previous log is interrupted or pending and the time between the end date of the current log and the end date of the previous log is lower than 2 minutes, the application is hiding the previous log and it is increasing the “number” of connections (the last field from the list) for the current log. So, instead of showing 50 logs in the list, the new module shows only the last log. The others logs are visible when you click on the status icon (see the image below).
In this example there are 2 previous logs in pending state. Also you can see more details about the last log: total shock events/transferred shock events, total wire events, total periodic events, etc. Note: The information about the events with gps and total good coordinates are visible ONLY for Idrive users. You can switch to list by clicking on “Hide Details” button or the status icon ( ) - Show all connections field is also visible ONLY for Idrive users. If this field is checked, all connections are displayed in the list (see the image below)
Internal logs
Internal logs tab is similar with the Device Settings tab from Settings->Idrive Settings (see below)
Router Report
See the images below (from an old SSA Industrial database) – all vehicles are included “Show all connections” is visible only for Idrive Users and it similar with the field from Transfer Logs tab (if it is checked, the number of Interrupted/Pending connections might be increased) The Internal Log/Router Report tabs could be activated for regular users from Settings->Idrive Settings->Other Settings by checking the options: - Enable transfer internal log for non idrive users - Enable transfer router report for non idrive users The Transfer Activities module can be launched from Dashboard or from Settings. The Settings contains also another link: Transfer Activities – Devices View. This link is visible only for Idrive Users and it is launching a similar interface based on the devices (see below)
The Wi-Fi connections of the unassigned devices are visible in both Transfer Activities / Transfer Activities – Devices View modules, but the logs of the unassigned devices are visible only in the Devices View module. Below are all modules/options that are visible only for Idrive Users: - Transfer Activities – Devices View - Internal Logs / Router Report (can be activated for non idrive users from Settings->Idrive Settings->Other Settings) - Show all connections fields (in Transfer Logs / Router Report tabs) - Events with gps / total good coordinates (from the detailed transfer log) Note: The Transfer Logs/Internal Logs and Router Report tabs are also visible in the Fleet Manager (Vehicles and X1 Devices)
Erase / Format SD Card
This option is available in Settings->Idrive Settings->Wifi Commands and it will probably be available in AC also (sooner or later)
The status of the command can be: - Wait connection: when a new Wi-Fi command is added - Finalized: when SD Card has been erased / formatted at the first device connection - Error: something was wrong during the erase/format. The Date of the command is updated after the device connection. Here are some basic rules: - You cannot add a new command for a device having a previous command with the status: waiting connection. If you want to do this, you have to delete the previous command from the list. - Format SD Card option is working only for the devices with the firmware higher or equal with 10.7. If you try this command with a 10.6 device, the status of the command will be updated with “error” at the first device connection and the events will be transferred. - Erase SD Card is working with any firmware version. - Only the commands with the status “waiting connection” are applied during the Wi-Fi connections - If a device it is placed in pending state (too many connections per router) or the signal is lost before reading the command from the database, the status of the command will remain unchanged (waiting connection). The command will be executed next time. Below is an image with the Transfer Activities list when an Erase or Format SD Card command is applied:

And the Transfer Logs:
The Internal Log for the Format SD Card option shows the following info:
The same log for the Erase SD Card option:
And the Wi-Fi commands list:
Note: The Wi-Fi commands are synchronized between all client locations. So, you can add a “Format SD Card” command into a location, and the device could be formatted in another location. The status of the command is synchronized again, so the device is formatted only one time.
Vehicles – Devices – Events Settings
- The selection of the unassigned devices is now available! However, if you combine assigned/unassigned devices in the same selection, the option “Use the default G-Force value related to the vehicle” will return an error. You have to select first the assigned devices and after that the unassigned devices and force another G-force value. - The Shock Event tab has now options for enabling/disabling the g-force axes. These options are visible by default ONLY for Idrive Users. You can activate these settings for regular users from Settings->Idrive Settings ->Other Settings (Enable gforce axes settings for non idrive users) If this option is activated, the clients will be able to change the axes settings:
They will also see the axes values for each device/vehicle in the list:
