Monitor and manage a deployed device

After you deploy a device, you can access the Device details page to monitor its usage statistics and status information, remotely manage the device, and download device debug logs.

Device details

Each device has a details page containing information specific to that device.

To view device details:
  1. From the navigation bar, click Device > In Service.

    The In Service page loads.

  2. From the list of In Service devices, click the device that you want to view.

    The Device Detail page loads, displaying details about the device.

SIM History graph

The Device Detail page contains an interactive chart of your SIM signal strength and throughput history, allowing you to monitor and save your device's usage statistics. You can sort the graph by date and time as well as set a time interval to breakdown the data. You can also click Export to export the usage statistics in a CSV file.

Use the Avg, Min, and Max filters to display data based the average, maximum, or minimum values in that set time interval.

If your device has multiple modems, you can toggle between Modem 1 and Modem 2.
