The Vehicles panel is used to add, modify and delete vehicle type definitions. The default vehicle type is “Gateway” which is a generic type not specific to any particular vehicle type. The AMM includes the following vehicle types: Gateway, Ambulance, Bus, Car, Fire-Engine, Flatbed, Heavy-Duty-Bucket-Truck, Heavy Rescue Vehicle, Light-Duty-Bucket-Truck, Pickup, Police-Car, Police-Motorcycle, Police-SUV, Service-Truck, Squads, Straight-Truck, SUV, SWAT-Truck,** and *Water-Tender.
Note: for customers upgrading from an older version to AMM 2.16, all gateways will default to the “Gateway” vehicle type.
A vehicle type defines the type of vehicle in which a gateway is installed and specifies the corresponding icon. A vehicle’s icon allows users to quickly identify a vehicle type when viewing gateways in the AMM’s Gateways list and maps. Note that only users who belong to the user group “All Gateways” can edit or delete the vehicles in the Default Vehicle Group.
To add a new vehicle icon:
To assign a vehicle icon to a device:
Follow the procedure in Adding a new Gateway and set the Vehicle Type field to the desired vehicle icon type.
To add or update vehicle icon assignments for multiple devices:
Follow the procedure in Adding Multiple Gateways to an AMM to use the CSV import feature. Configure the Vehicle Type column of the CSV using the following syntax: <vehicle group name> > <vehicle icon name>. For example:
ID, Name, Groups, Vehicle Type, Customer, Location, Contact, Notes
H222, , Group1, Group1 > icon1, Customer1, Office, Joe, Main gateway
H223, , Group1, Default Vehicle Group > Gateway, Customer2, Office, Mark, Secondary gateway
