Once the K2 gateway has been fully installed, please proceed to the following steps in order to configure the K2 gateway in the optimal manner.

Configuration Center

  1. Make sure that the vehicle is on a flat surface, that the engine is on, and that it is not moving.

  2. Open the Configuration Center platform and establish a connection to the K2 gateway via OTA connection.

  3. Click on the “Configuration tab >> “Communication” section >> Check that the “Sever URL” and the “Network APN” match the information you received from Galooli.

  1. Click on the “Configuration” tab >> "On-Board Accelerometer Calibration" and complete the process.

    This action is used to detect several following events: severe/high acceleration, severe/high brake, severe/high turn, crash detection

    5. The user can indicate the thresholds for vehicle accelerations and braking events. The threshold will determine how the unit will indicate the driver passed the accepted parameters to indicate a violation has occurred. 
    Each event's threshold can be configured by selecting the vehicle type. Click on the "Configuration" tab and scroll to “Driver Behavior”. Open the “Vehicle Type” dropdown menu and select the desired vehicle type.

    Alternatively, the thresholds can be entered manually by clicking “Manual Settings”. This will require that a threshold (in units of g) will be configured per event.

6. Click on the “Configuration tab >> If there are different devices connected to the K2 gateway, such as an immobilizer, buzzer, or keypad, you should configure them now.

Here are some suggestions for devices.

Driver Identification & Immobilizer Section

In the event that you decide to monitor the drivers' activities and link the vehicle to driver, you must perform another step in the system as described in the following page - My Contacts

If the vehicle has an immobilizer, this is where you define how it works.

You create a fuel calibration table as described in the following page - My Calibration

Manager Application

  1. Open the “Manager” application >> “My Units

  2. If the unit already exists in the organization tree, then it needs to be transferred to the right cluster.
    If the unit does not exist for any reason, proceed to the next step.

  3. Click on "My units" >> Create a new unit or duplicate all the configuration from another source unit. In any case, you should continue to verify the following sections.

  4. In “My unit” >> "Overview" tab, set the appropriate "Asset Type" as and set the "Stationary Unit" as "No”.

  5. In “My unit” >> "Overview" tab, set the destination Email and SMS. Email and phone numbers can be set at the cluster or group level as opposed to the unit level.

  6. In “My unit” >> “Configuration” tab >> “IO’s” >>On the basis of the IO’s settings, it will be possible to define events in the system later on.

  2. In “My unit” >> “Configuration” tab >> “Preferences” >> Set the “Minutes to Idle” value if necessary. As an example, if the engine continues to run for five consecutive minutes without the vehicle is moving, then the vehicle is considered to be in idle status. 5 minutes or more is the recommended value.

  3. In “My unit” >> “Configuration” tab >> “Installation setup” >> Set the vehicle's initial working time, distance, and other parameters if necessary.

  4. In “My unit” >> “Events” tab >> Add all relevant events and set the phone number/email to receive notifications. The events are based in part on the IO's and other configurations that you have made.

Tips:

  • Make sure the event names are meaningful in order to make them more understandable in real time.

  • Avoid creating not relevant events

  • In complex events, when the events that lead to the complex event are not relevant for you, they can be disabled and still trigger the complex event.

  1. Open the “Panorama” application >> Locate the unit in the organization tree and click on it.

  2. Your screen will display a "Fleet Unit View”.
