Ehubos

Ehubos lists all Ehubos and other EROAD hardware units provisioned to your company.

A 'hardware unit' is an EROAD unit used for the GPS tracking of vehicles or assets, but dashcam hardware is excluded, and accessed through the Dashcams page.

Status Column

  • Install Required: the hardware unit has not yet been installed onto your vehicle.       
  • Customer to Assign: the hardware unit has been physically installed, but needs to be assigned to the correct vehicle in Depot.
  • Installed: the hardware unit has been installed and assigned to a vehicle.
  • Installed - RMA Pending: the hardware unit is awaiting swap-out.

Clicking an action link starts the process for that action. Have information handy on the relevant units and vehicles for the status change. This might include registration, service/vehicle plan info, odometer readings, and associated details.

Listed actions may differ, depending on jurisdiction.

Removing a unit

Removing a unit should only be conducted by accredited, authorized or experienced installers (depending on jurisdiction and/or contract). Read our Terms and Conditions or your service contract for details.

  1. In MyEROAD > Admin > Ehubos, find the unit and Unassign it from its vehicle.
  2. Power down the vehicle.
  3. Remove power to accessories to the unit, eg. rollover alert sensors, door sensors, dashcams, etc.
  4. Remove power to the unit.
  5. Disconnect the unit.

    1. AVOID CUTTING CABLES (unless the unit is free-wired to the vehicle and cutting wires is appropriate)
    2. Remove electrician’s tape around connection points; unplug mated connectors, or otherwise disconnect the unit appropriately.
  6. Record the unit’s serial number for reference.

Swap-out (RMA) a unit

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is a designation that a unit needs to be returned to EROAD for servicing, repair, or decommissioning. At the same time, EROAD normally replaces the unit.

  1. If a unit is suspected of being faulty or otherwise qualifies for an RMA, contact EROAD Support.
  2. We may remote-run diagnostics, direct on-site people to run unit diagnostics, run a change management process or send an agent to check it (depending on jurisdiction/service plan obligation).
  3. If the unit appears to be faulty, EROAD will work with you to fix it on-site (if possible) or decommission it. This may involve:

    1. Running performance tests
    2. Removing a unit (see above)
    3. Receiving an installer agent who will take care of the whole process.
  4. Package the unit up – ideally in bubblewrap or crushed paper – and send it to your EROAD service center.

Assessing units for faulty performance should be conducted professionally.

Installs

Installs

The Installs page is a new view for your GPS trackers (excluding dashcams) that provides a better view and feedback around installing units.

In order for you to view or try the new Installs page, you must have:

  1. Checked the agreements in My Organisation > Activate the new Install experience > Edit.

  2. Been assigned Financial Permission role.

The Installs view is geared towards fast-cure operation, with direct on-site actions and self-help recommendations.

If a unit is in an error state, the page breaks down the specific problem, advises action, and if a line item is selected, opens a panel with specific actions and links.
