This document answers common questions regarding the Geotab Integrated Solution for PSA in MyGeotab. Our intention is to support you, the Geotab Partner, by providing all the essential information related to this solution.

Which vehicles are eligible for this solution?

2. Most 2019 and newer models are eligible once validated. To validate vehicles, please follow step 1 as explained in the next section.

How do I order this solution?

Step 1 — Validate VIN (s)

To validate vehicles using the MyAdmin Vehicle/VIN Lookup page:

If the OEM is providing an API to check the eligibility of their vehicles, the result will appear immediately.

If one or more VINs require a manual check, a pop-up will prompt you to begin the process by clicking Request OEM eligibility check. You will automatically receive a confirmation email, and once we have the results from the OEM, you will receive them per email. For ease of reference, the VIN eligibility results can be downloaded in a file.

After confirming which vehicles are supported and activated, you can proceed to Step 2 to order the solution from your MyAdmin account.

Step 2 — Register third-party devices on MyAdmin

You will need Geotab third-party serial numbers to use this solution with MyGeotab. You can order third-party serial numbers from your MyAdmin account using the following steps:

Billing

Will I be billed by Geotab or PSA?

All billing will be done by Geotab.

How do I choose a rate plan for the device?

MyAdmin provides subscription plan options in a dropdown menu during the order process. For more information on subscription plans, please check the Data Set document. Pricing is available in MyAdmin under Billing > Rate Plans.

When does billing begin?

Billing begins the moment devices are added to MyGeotab and start receiving data from PSA. The solution will be billed at the end of every month.

Managing PSA Devices

How do I identify PSA devices in MyAdmin?

You can see your PSA devices in MyAdmin under Devices > Device Admin > Look up Devices.

All PSA device serial numbers start with “E2”.

Can I use the ‘Replace with new device’ function in MyGeotab?

GO devices can be replaced by OEM devices by using the Replace with new device option in MyGeotab. The Replace with new device option can only be used when moving from a GO device to an OEM device, it cannot be used to replace an OEM or third party device with a new OEM device.

How do I terminate a PSA device?

PSA devices can be terminated from MyAdmin by following the standard device termination process. Please identify your devices under Devices > Device Admin > Look up Devices. Select the devices you wish to terminate and click the Change Plan button to select Terminate Mode. The devices will be terminated on MyAdmin. After this step is complete, we recommend that the devices be removed or archived from MyGeotab database as well.

What happens if I terminate a PSA device in MyAdmin?

Billing stops as soon as a device is terminated. To ensure complete termination, remove the device from the MyGeotab database or make it historic.

Can I reactivate terminated devices?

Terminated OEM serial numbers can not be used again. If you wish to reactivate a vehicle, please repeat the procedure in Step 2 and Step 3 to register and add a new device.

Can I change the VIN after it has been provided in step #3?

No, the VIN associated with an OEM serial number cannot be changed. If you want to make such changes, terminate the old device and repeat the procedure in Step 2 and Step 3 to register and add a new device.

Does standard Geotab Warranty or RMA Policy apply to PSA devices?

Geotab Warranty and RMA Policy do not apply to PSA devices. As the hardware belongs to PSA, their policy for hardware warranty and repairs will be applicable.

Getting Help

I cannot see device data on MyGeotab, what are some initial troubleshooting steps I can perform?

Here are some preliminary troubleshooting steps you can perform as a Geotab Partner:

1. Look at the Serial number prefix - is it what was intended (E2)? If not, terminate and start the process again.
2. Check MyGeotab - does VIN exist on the device page? If not, please add it.
3. Confirm with the customer that the vehicle has been moving.
4. Confirm with the customer that the vehicle is NOT in Private mode. If it is in Private mode, please disable it. Instructions for checking and disabling private mode are captured in this document.
