Setting Up a GPS Bluetooth Reader

Guide on how to setup your GPS Bluetooth Reader.

  1. Navigate to “+ New Reader”
      • Select Setup a New Reader.
  1. Choose Reader Type
      • Select Digital Matters BLE Reader.
  1. Select Reader Mode
      • Choose from Fixed, Handheld, or Vehicle.
      • For moving assets, select Vehicle.
  1. Name the Reader
      • Use a clear, descriptive name (e.g., Manta Fusion).
      • Add the last 4 digits of the serial number for easier identification.
      • Note: It may take 30–60 minutes for the reader to come online while it syncs with the satellite network.
  1. Assign the Reader to an Asset
      • Choose an existing vehicle or create a new one.
      • Manifest checks are optional, but if a manifest exists for the vehicle it can be linked.
  1. Add the Reader to the Vehicle
      • Click the Tools icon → + Assign Reader.
      • Select from the list of unassigned GPS Readers.
  1. Check Device Status
      • If the device has not yet come online, you’ll see a “Review Setup” flag. Clicking this will confirm the system is still waiting for the device to connect.
      • In Map View, a reader outside of any Geofence will display as “out somewhere” but not tied to a specific location.

✅ Once the reader is online and assigned, it will continuously update asset locations in real time as the vehicle moves in and out of Geofences.
