Basic Definitions

GPS tracking system Wialon Hosting is a software product that allows end users to control their units (vehicle fleet, machinery, employees, pets, etc.).

Unit tracking includes:

  • detecting unit position and watching its movements on map;
  • observing dynamic change of various unit parameters such as speed, fuel level, temperature, voltage, etc.;
  • management of units (sending commands and messages, assigning jobs and routes, adjusting notifications, etc.) and drivers (phone calls, SMS, work shifts);
  • interpreting information derived from the unit in various kinds of reports (tables, charts);
  • and much more.

Tracking results can be presented on the computer screen as well as exported to files in different formats.

CMS Manager — Wialon Hosting management interface

In contrast to above mentioned user objects, units, users, unit groups, and retranslators are independent and can exist without any account.

CMS Manager is designed to work with these objects: create, configure, update, copy, delete them, and what is the most important distribute access rights to these objects. Access right is a possibility to view some system objects and perform allowed actions over them. There are five access levels: from none to manage.

Partly these functions can be also fulfilled in the user interface. However, the main difference here is that CMS Manager has a handy easy-to-use interface that allows to work with a great number of objects, filter them by different criteria, display them in the form of a table, create tabs with search results, and many more. Besides, the exclusive privilege of CMS Manager is possibility to work with accounts (that is control payment, restrict services and adjust their cost) and retranslators.
