    Summary of Available Reports

    AMR offers historical reports for:

    • Coverage Map

      Shows you system network connectivity status during trips within the reporting period. Supports single and multi-radio routers.

    • Coverage Trails

      Shows you WAN signal strength during trips within the reporting period for routers with a single cellular radio.

    • Multi-Radio Coverage Trails

      For routers running AirLink OS only. Shows you the specific connectivity status for multiple radios (cellular interfaces) during trips within the reporting period.

    • Driver Behavior

      Help keep your drivers safe and manage performance, measuring driving habits such as hard acceleration, hard deceleration, cornering and speeding.

    • Engine Fault Summary

      Schedule maintenance and repairs with a summary of engine faults detected, including time of fault, diagnostic code, total time and distance driven with the MIL activated.

    • Link Utilization

      For routers running AirLink OS only. Provides a summary of device status and connectivity over time; ideal for identifying connectivity issues that occur at specific times of day.

    • Odometer

      Retrieve the distance traveled for a vehicle during a specified period. You can also define a zone for odometer reports, so that any travel within a zone can be included or excluded from the report.

    • Seat Belt

      Provides an indication of when the driver’s side seat belt is not engaged while the vehicle is moving. You can set a speed threshold for vehicles to be included.

    • Trip Replay

      Shows you an animated view of a vehicle trip.

    • Trips

      Know what your fleet of vehicles has been doing with a historical view of vehicle location, with stop locations, speeding relative to posted limits, and network connectivity status data. Supports single and multi-radio routers.

    • Vehicle

      Save time in tracking which gateway devices are installed in which vehicles with an inventory of all gateways in vehicles, providing the device serial number, the vehicle’s VIN and the total miles driven for each vehicle.

    • Vehicle Utilization

      Get a complete picture of vehicle utilization including total engine time, trip time, idle and PTO time. (Where available. Requires proper vehicle installation of GPIO.)

    • Zone Summary

      Provides a summary of time spent (in hours/minutes and as a percentage) and distance travelled in one or more Zones.

    Each pre-defined report contains unique content focused on a specific purpose. Each report contains tabular and/or map-based results. You can configure any report to schedule the report delivery (daily, weekly, monthly) or run reports on demand; confine the report to a pre-defined region with Zones (geofencing), export reports as PDF, Excel or KML files, and output reports for printing.

    Prerequisites: What you need to use AMR

    Because AMR is primarily focused on vehicle telemetry reporting, there are a number of hardware and software requirements you must have in place before you can use AMR features. Running reports on other AirLink routers may not yield expected results.

    AMR reports vehicle data for AirLink routers connected to a vehicle. This includes ALEOS-based devices (AirLink GX450 gateways connected using a B&B OBD-II scanner, or MP70 or LX60 routers connected directly to a vehicle’s OBD-II or J1939 port) and AirLink OS-based AirLink XR90, XR80, XR60 and RX55 routers with vehicle telemetry features enabled.

    AMR also reports routers’ WAN/Cellular usage and connection status, which can be displayed in the following reports:

    • Coverage Trails
    • Multi-Radio Coverage Trails
    • Coverage Map
    • Link Utilization
    • Trips
    • Trips Replay

    AMR supports an external modem connected to a router’s Ethernet port for AirLink OS routers only. Semtech has done a custom integration to support HPUE cellular modems. When the external modem is configured and active as the primary WAN interface, it can be displayed in the same way as regular cellular interface. The HPUE modem is considered another cellular WAN interface to be reported upon in the same manner as the cellular interface(s) on the AirLink router. This provides the same set of link statistics that are currently reported for the cellular interface(s).

    ALEOS-based Devices

    The AirLink MP70 router, with its vehicle telemetry capability and inertial sensors, supports all features of AMR.

    Not all LX60 models support vehicle telemetry. Ensure that your LX60 supports Wi-Fi and GNSS and Telemetry before configuring vehicle telemetry and AMR.

    Driver behavior reports require inertial sensors on the router (as supported on the MP70), and will not be reported on an AirLink GX450 or LX60.

    For optimum reporting performance, connect the router’s ignition line (white wire on the power connector) to the vehicle ignition and connect the router to the vehicle bus as described in the MP70 Hardware User Guide. Many reports will not function correctly if the router is not wired correctly.

    In ALEOS, you must also enable:

    • Vehicle Telemetry (by setting Direct Vehicle Bus Data Collection to Enabled: Connected to Ignition)
    • Location Service
    • Driver Behavior Detection (MP70 only)
    • Dead Reckoning (MP70 only)
    • ALEOS Application Framework

    For more information, see the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide for MP70 (for ALEOS 4.11.0 or later) or the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide for LX60 (for ALEOS 4.13.0 or later).

    GX450 Gateway

    The GX450 gateway supports some features of AMR. The gateway must be connected to the vehicle using a B&B OBD-II scanner and Vehicle Telemetry Kit, as described in the AirLink Vehicle Telemetry User Guide (AVTA 1.1.1 or later).

    Connect the GX450 ignition line (white wire on the power connector) to the vehicle ignition and connect the gateway to the vehicle bus as described in the GX450 Hardware User Guide.

    The GX450 supports the following types of reports when correctly installed and configured:

    • Vehicle Reports
    • Vehicle Utilization Reports
    • Engine Fault Summary Reports
    • Trips Reports

    Other ALEOS-based devices may work with some reports (such as Link Utilization), but results will vary. For GPS-based reports, devices with Dead Reckoning will provide the best location accuracy.

    AirLink OS-based Devices

    AirLink XR80 or XR90 routers, with their vehicle telemetry capability and inertial sensors, support all features of AMR.

    For optimum reporting performance, connect the router’s ignition line (white wire on the power connector) to the vehicle ignition and connect the router to the vehicle bus as described in the XR Series Hardware User Guide. Many reports will not function correctly if the router is not wired correctly.

    AirLink XR60 or RX55 routers, with their more limited vehicle telemetry features, support AMR reports that don’t require data from the vehicle bus, including:

    • Trips
    • Zone Summary
    • Trip Replay
    • Coverage Map
    • Coverage Trails
    • Link Utilization

    For optimum reporting performance, connect the router’s ignition line (white wire on the power connector) to the vehicle ignition as described in the RX55 Hardware User Guide and XR60 Hardware User Guide. Many reports will not function correctly if the router is not wired correctly.

    See the AirLink OS documentation for instructions on how to enable reporting in AirLink OS.

    The layout of the Report Templates page is user configurable. You can add widgets (as available), move or remove widgets.

    See here for more information about ALMS dashboards in general.

    The Report Templates page is divided into three sections:

    • The Recent Reports section. It provides access to the last 5 report instances along with their status, communications history, configuration and management.
    • The Create Report button opens a blank report template. See here for more information about creating a new report.
    • A list of Report Templates with additional information provided in columns. You can search for reports using filters.

    Recent Reports

    The Recent Reports widget shows you the last five reports that were run, along with their status and time of completion.

    • To view a report, click the row for the desired report. See Viewing Reports below.
    • Hovering your mouse over the Files column allows you to download the report in its available file format.
    • Click the Refresh button on the top right to update the list
    • Click All to show all the report instances on the Reports page

    Please note that event datapoints are pre-processed in AirVantage on an hourly schedule before becoming available for AMR report purposes. Because of this, events occurring within the hour before the report execution time (scheduled or on-demand) may not be included in the report.

    Report Status

    Each report status is indicated by color.

    Generated successfully.

    Failed to generate.

    Failed to export.

    Processing.

    Timeout.

    If you click a report that has failed to generate, a message will appear with a link that will take you to the report definition page, where you can edit the report if you wish. Error messages also appear when you click reports that have timed out or are still processing. If a report is still processing, wait until it has completed.

    Error messages also appear when you click reports that have timed out or are still processing. If a report is still processing, wait until it has completed.

    If you click an export file format icon, an error message appears if the file cannot be downloaded in the enabled formats (such as PDF/CSV/KML) because of a file export generation failure, timeout, cancellation, or report processing error. The example on the right shows a KML report generation/export error. Note that when a file export generation failure occurs (the report status is orange), you can still view the report in your browser, as described in Viewing Reports below.
