To use the Utilization app and FarmStream Fleet reporting on the TMX-2050 or GFX-750 display with Precision-IQ™  field application, you must first set up the thresholds in the Precision-IQ app.

1. In the Home screen, tap the Precision iQ icon to open the app.
   After opening Precision-iQ, you can set up the Implement and Vehicle settings for the Utilization app, so the utilization data shows up as you want it to in FarmStream Fleet.
2. To set the Vehicle settings, tap on the vehicle tile on the Precision-iQ screen.
3. Edit an existing vehicle or create a new one. In the PRODUCTIVITY tab, set a threshold for the vehicle maximum moving speed for the Utilization app. Any time that the vehicle travels over this maximum moving speed, it is reported as speeding. If you turn the Maximum Moving Speed off this means that the “speeding” state will not be used for the vehicle in FarmStream Fleet.
   Note: The PRODUCTIVITY tab is only visible if the Enable Operators feature is turned on. This feature is accessed by tapping the gear icon in the Precision-IQ field application and selecting Users and Passwords.
4. To set the maximum moving speed option, tap Maximum Moving Speed. Choose a maximum moving speed for the vehicle and then tap the Check button. There is also an option to display the speed in US or Metric units. The range of the allowed moving speed that can be selected is noted in the dialog:
   
5. To set the Implement thresholds for the Utilization app, tap the Implement tile in the PiQ screen:If an operator exceeds the functional speed for an implement, possible damage can occur to the implement, the vehicle, the crop or the field. The GFX-750 or TMX-2050 display can send information about the implement status to FarmStream Fleet in the Trimble Ag Software solution.
6. To set up the implement, go to the PRODUCTIVITY tab in the Implement settings. Edit an existing implement or create a new one.
   Note: the PRODUCTIVITY tab is only visible if the Enable Operators feature is turned on. This feature is accessed by tapping the gear icon in the Precision-IQ field application and selecting Users and Passwords.
   These settings determine what information is sent about the implement from the Utilization app to FarmStream Fleet.
   
   The table below describes the different settings options:

   Setting	Description
   Maximum Transport Speed	The functional speed limit for transporting the implement. The options are On or Off and a numerical value for the speed. Maximum Transport Speed is used to determine when a vehicle enters the “speeding” state. The minimum of Maximum Transport and Maximum Moving speed will be used in this determination; Maximum moving speed is configured under the vehicle setup (PRODUCTIVITY tab). If Maximum Transport Speed is turned off, the Maximum Moving Speed for the vehicle is used to determine the “speeding” threshold (if Maximum Moving Speed is turned on).
   Maximum Operating Speed	The functional speed limit for the implement when coverage logging is on. The options are On or Off and a numerical value for the speed. Maximum Operating Speed is used to determine when the vehicle enters a “rushing” state.
   Stopped to Delayed Timeout	The length of time the vehicle can be paused before the vehicle is considered delayed. The options are On or Off. Stopped To Delayed Timeout is the amount of time that will pass after the vehicle has entered a “stopped” state before it’s considered to be in a “delayed” state (and the operator may be prompted to select a reason for the delay). Note: the value is set in seconds but displayed in minutes

   To set the Maximum Transport speed, tap on Maximum Transport Speed and enter a value in the range indicated. Select the Units, if required. Tap on the green check to save.

   

   Tap on the buttons Maximum Operating Speed and Stopped To Delayed Timeout to set the values and/ or select units for these two parameters.

   

   

Signing in as an operator is not required for Utilization or FarmStream to run, but if you want to see operator information in the application, you must sign in. In order to use operator login with PIQ, the Enable Operators feature must be turned on. This feature is accessed by tapping the gear icon in the Precision-IQ field application and selecting Users and Passwords.

To set up operator information, turn on your TMX-2050 or GFX-750 display. You should see the Operator app. Tap on the Operator app icon to launch it.

Operators can be created in the Fleet page of the Trimble Ag Software. All operators in the TMX-2050 and GFX-750 display’s organization are automatically sent to the TMX-2050 and GFX-750 display when it has connectivity. These operators can be seen under the Connected Farm menu in the Operator app.  If operators in the Fleet page are changed, any changes will be visible in the Operator app after the app has been killed and restarted, or when the TMX-2050 or GFX-750 display has rebooted.

Operators can also be created locally on the display, but they will not be send to the Trimble Ag Software to be seen on the Fleet page. These local operators will not show in the Connected Farm menu in the Operator app.

1. Login to the Operator app in order to track who is using the vehicle, for reporting in the Utilization app and FarmStream:
2. Enter or scan your operator PIN to login.
   Once logged in, the operator information will be recorded along with any utilization data.

Licenses for FarmStream Fleet are managed in the Reseller Admin site and in Fleet.

To use the FarmStream Fleet, a vehicle requires a Vehicle Connection License. To obtain a Vehicle Connection license, the vehicle’s organization must have a Farmer Fit, Farmer Pro or Farmer Pro Plus License.

The following is an example of how to set up a license:

For Resellers only

1. Log into the Reseller Admin site (www.trimbleag.com/ResellerAdmin) and then open the Software Activations page. This example shows that the organization has two Farm Subscription licenses available to assign to a customer: A Farmer Pro license (which includes two Vehicle Connection licenses) as well as a separate Vehicle Connection license. In total the reseller therefore has three Vehicle Connection licenses available to assign.
2. The reseller now adds the customer (if this was not done previously) by entering the customer’s email address in the Add Customer field:
3. A confirmation message appears – click Add:
   An email invitation is sent to the customer. If they accept the invitation, the customer is added to the reseller’s organization:
   
   In this example, the customer has been set up as Gwen Byard (Gmail):
4. The Reseller now adds a Farmer Pro bundle. This must be done before they can add any additional Vehicle Connection licenses. The Farmer Pro bundle comes with two Vehicle Connection licenses. To do this, open the Farm Subscriptions section, click the drop down next to the Farmer Pro bundle and then click Assign:
   
5. In the screen that appears, select the customer that you want to assign the license to and then click Assign:
   If there are no errors, a message appears that the license has been successfully assigned:
   
   The customer’s screen now shows that a Farmer Pro license and two Vehicle Connection licenses have been assigned:

Adding additional licenses

If the reseller wants to add additional Vehicle Connection licenses, and if they have licenses available, they can either repeat the process above (see Step 4, above), or they can do the following:

Note: If they do not have any vehicles, the customer should create them.

1. Click the yellow +Add button shown below the assigned licenses.
2. In the dialog that appears, select how many Vehicle Connection licenses you want to add:
   Note: You will not be able to add more licenses than you have available in your inventory.
3. Select a particular license from inventory. SO and PO numbers will be visible for each license to help identify the appropriate license for the customer.

The customer now has an additional Vehicle Connection license, making it three in total:

For End User

Assigning a Vehicle Connection license to a vehicle 

The customer (not the reseller) must now choose which vehicles to assign the Vehicle Connection licenses to. To do this:

1. Check to see which licenses have been assigned to their organization. To do this, log into the Trimble Ag Software, go to Marketplace and then select Current Licenses:
2. If they do not have the appropriate licenses, purchase a license.  This can be done in the Trimble Reseller store by the reseller, or by the customer themselves by going to the Marketplace tab:
3. If they do not have any vehicles, the customer should create them. To do this, go to the Fleet page, click Create New Vehicle:and then complete the New vehicle form. NOTE: WHEN USING FARMSTREAM FLEET DO NOT SELECT A TELEMATICS DEVICE, ONLY SELECT A DISPLAY DEVICE:
4. Assign a license to a vehicle. To do this, select the vehicle to which you want to assign a license.
5. Select Edit Vehicle from the drop-down list to assign the license:
6. The customer can see that the organization has Vehicle Connection licenses available – to assign a license, click the Assign Vehicle License button
7. In the confirmation message that appears, click Assign to confirm. Once assigned, a license cannot be moved to another vehicle.
8. The Vehicle Connection License is now active.
9. Click Save to save all edited vehicle data.

Currently, FarmStream Fleet is available on the FmX, GFX-750 or TMX-2050 displays only.  It is not available on the CFX-750™ display.

Traditionally, the DCM-300 modem has been the primary device used to communicate vehicle position, sensor data and other information from a vehicle to the Fleet website. While the DCM-300 modem can still be used with Fleet, FarmStream is the preferred set up for Fleet. FarmStream uses a specially configured TMX-2050, GFX-750, or FmX display, together with a communication device (such as the DCM-300, SNM941 or GX450 modem) to send operation data from the vehicle to view in Fleet. For information on how to set up a vehicle for Fleet using FarmStream, please refer to this guide.

Note: Firmware Version 10.01 or higher is required for the FmX and Version 4.3.1 or higher is required for the TMX to run FarmStream. Version 1.5 or higher is required for the GFX-750 to have full FarmStream functionality. (Limited FarmStream functionality is available for earlier versions of GFX-750 firmware.)

Depending on whether you set up a vehicle the traditional way with a DCM-300 modem or with FarmStream, different features for that vehicle are view able in the Fleet website. Please refer to this chart to compare the features available to view for a vehicle with the traditional set up and FarmStream set up.

No matter how you choose to set up a vehicle, the vehicle data is available in the same Fleet user interface and is accessible from the same user login. Vehicles in the same organization can be set up using a mixture of traditional and FarmStream equipment, if desired. The way to tell which version of Fleet a vehicle is using is by going to the Vehicles page and selecting a vehicle. If a vehicle is using the traditional set up, it will say “FarmStream Off”, and if a vehicle is using the FarmStream setup it will say “FarmStream On”.  See below image that illustrates this:

1. Select Move Vehicle to another Group from the menu on the Vehicle Status screen for the vehicle you want to move.
2. Check the radio button next to the group that you want to move the vehicle to:
   
3. Click Save.

Operators can be imported from a .csv or .xls file, or from an existing organization. The following is an example of a .csv or .xls file import:

LoginID	First Name	Last Name	Job Title	Group
BSmith1	Bob	Smith	Operator1	GroupA
JSmith1	John	Smith	Operator1	GroupB

• Operators are added to the Operator list or Group specified if the Login ID, Last Name, and First Name fields are specified and the Login ID does not already exist.If any row fails to import, the import will continue with the next row.
• The check for Login ID duplication is not case sensitive (that is, the system will not create JSmith1 if jsmith1 already exists).
• You must create groups in the user interface before you import operators.
  • If the Group does not exist the operator is not imported and the row fails.
  • If no Group is specified in the .csv file, the operator is created and added to the Unassigned list.
  • Group is a match if it contains the same characters, regardless of case (that is, GroupA or groupa).
• Job Title is added for each job title in the file and depends on the number of characters. It is a match if it contains the same characters, regardless of case (for example, Foreman or foreman).

An Import report is created that includes the following:

• Any rows that did not import due to insufficient or duplicate data.
• The number of successful logins created.
• The groups that could not be found during the import.

To import operators from a .csv or .xls file:

If an operator exceeds the functional speed limit for an implement, possible damage can occur to the implement, the vehicle, the crop, or the field. The FmX integrated display or TMX-2050 display (using the FmX Plus app) can send information to the Fleet in the Trimble Ag Software solution regarding the speed of vehicles and implements.

For Implement Setup settings, from the configuration page select implement:

On the Reporting tab, these settings determine the information that is sent from the FmX integrated display or TMX-2050 display to Fleet in the Trimble Ag software:

Setting	Description
Maximum Transport Speed	The functional speed limit for transporting the implement. The options are On or Off. Maximum Transport Speed is used to determine when a vehicle enters the “speeding” state. The minimum of Max Transport and Max Moving speed will be used in this determination; Max moving speed is configured under the vehicle setup (Monitoring tab). If Maximum Transport Speed is turned off, the Maximum Moving Speed for the vehicle is used to determine the “speeding” threshold (if Maximum Moving Speed is turned on).
Maximum Operating Speed	The functional speed limit for the implement when coverage logging is on. The options are On or Off. Maximum Operating Speed is used to determine when the vehicle enters a “rushing” state.
Stopped to Delayed Timeout	The length of time the vehicle can be paused before the vehicle is considered delayed. The options are On or Off. Stopped to Delayed Timeout is the amount of time that will pass after the vehicle has entered a “stopped” state before it’s considered to be in a “delayed” state (and the operator may be prompted to select a reason for the delay). Note: the timeout value is set in minutes.

FarmStream Fleet is included as part of the Trimble Ag Software Vehicle Connection license. Two Vehicle Connection Licenses come with a Farmer Pro license, and one Vehicle Connection License comes with a Farmer Fit License. Additional Vehicle Connection Licenses can be purchased separately.

The Vehicle Connection license is assigned to a vehicle in Fleet in the Trimble Ag Software.

In the Fleet site select a vehicle and go to its individual vehicle page. This page will show whether FarmStream has been enabled. It will say “FarmStream on” or “FarmStream off”. “FarmStream on” means it is using the FarmStream Fleet features, and “FarmStream off” means it is using the traditional Fleet features.

To run FarmStream Fleet, a vehicle must have an FmX® integrated display, a GFX-750™ display, or a TMX-2050™ display installed. FarmStream Fleet can use one of many wireless connectivity options including the DCM-300 modem as well as the GX450 modem, SNM941 modem, Wi-Fi, and WAN gateways.

Customers may use the PIQ or FmX+ app on the TMX-2050 display or the PIQ app on the GFX-750 display. The PIQ app prior to version 5.50 firmware for TMX or 1.50 firmware for GFX-750 has limited FarmStream functionality only.

Customers who have the DCM-300 modem and the FmX or TMX-2050 display set up on a vehicle can choose whether they want to use the traditional or FarmStream version of Fleet for that vehicle. Customers who own these devices can use FarmStream and traditional Fleet on different vehicles in their fleet and see the data from both versions of Fleet in one organization.

Customers using traditional Fleet can still use the DCM-300 modem to track their fleet’s utilization, but the traditional Fleet does not link with the display and provides utilization data solely based on vehicle movement and the optional use of an implement switch.

The following table summarizes the hardware options for traditional Fleet:

Hardware used	Description and requirements
DCM-300 modem, no display	This version of the traditional Fleet uses the DCM-300 modem to obtain utilization data based on vehicle movement and the optional use of an implement switch.
DCM-300 modem, TMX-2050 display	This version of the traditional Fleet uses the DCM-300 modem to obtain utilization data based on vehicle movement and optional use of an implement switch. It does not link the DCM-300 modem with the TMX-2050 display.
DCM-300 modem, FmX display	This version of the traditional Fleet uses the DCM-300 modem to obtain utilization data based on vehicle movement and optional use of an implement switch. It does not link the DCM-300 modem with the FmX display.

The following table summarizes the hardware options for FarmStream Fleet:

No. You can use the same account and organization that you use for your traditional Fleet vehicles.

While your local Trimble Authorized Reseller can provide you with robust, fully supported solutions for wireless data transfer powered by higher-end modems such as the DCM-300® or GX450® , there are lower-end solutions for those of us willing to put in a little extra effort. Keep in mind that this is not an officially supported configuration, but with a little work, you can connect a few very specific off-the-shelf components to allow your Trimble FmX® display to leverage a simple wireless hotspot from your smartphone.

 

Components:

• USB to Ethernet – The success of this configuration is made possible by one a very specific USB-to-ethernet adapter: the TRENDnet USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet Adapter with the TU2-ET100 Chipset (buy on Amazon). This will Connect to the USB port on your FmX, and you can connect the ethernet side to almost any other source of connectivity.
• Ethernet to WiFi – While we have generally used the IOGEAR Universal Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter (buy on Amazon) due to it’s very low price point, theoretically any ethernet-to-network adapter should work, as long as it appears to be source of access to the ethernet cable.
• WiFi Hotspot – Lastly, turning on the WiFi hotspot feature on your smartphone (many carriers will charge extra for this functionality) will provide the final connection to the internet, so you can send and receive files. For less than $40 USD in parts, there is little to lose if you want to give it a try.

 

Getting set up:

1. Purchase the components listed above
2. Purchase a Trimble Ag Software Plan that includes Vehicle Connections (each display will take a vehicle connection and additional Vehicle Connections can be purchased beyond the included plan)
3. Log in to your online account and add your FmX serial number under Farm > Equipment > Devices (learn more)
4. Set up a vehicle and assign the Device, and a Vehicle Connection to the Vehicle under Farm > Equipment > Vehicles
5. Connect the TrendNet USB to Ethernet adapter to the back of your FmX
6. Connect the Ethernet to your IOGEAR Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter
   • Note: you will have to follow the instructions provided with your adapter to connect it to your preferred WiFi hotspot ahead of time (this step is usually done using a computer or WPS)
7. From your FmX display, turn on wireless data transfer by adding the Office Sync module in the Settings (the password to access the settings is 2009)

 

That’s it! Now you have wireless data transfer whenever you’re in range of Wi-Fi coverage.

Need help? While this is not an officially supported hardware configuration, please contact our customer support team if you have any questions or issues with configuring Trimble Ag Software or your FmX. Every annual Trimble Ag Software Plan comes with access to our support network to help farmers.

No.

If a vehicle is associated with an FmX, GFX-750 or TMX display that has FarmStream Fleet enabled, you cannot also associate it with a DCM-300 modem.

No. There is no need to provision the GX450 or SNM941 modem in FarmStream Fleet, the modem is just a router for the display.

If you have not turned on FarmStream Fleet for an FmX or TMX-2050 display, you can assign a vehicle to both the DCM-300 modem and the FmX or TMX-2050 display. You can’t assign a DCM-300 modem to a vehicle with a GFX-750 display. If you turn on FarmStream for a vehicle with any type of display, DO NOT ASSOCIATE THE VEHICLE WITH A DCM-300 MODEM AS ITS TELEMATICS DEVICE – FARMSTREAM WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY.  The DCM-300 modem (or other modem used) works in the background as the communication device.

If you select a display for a vehicle, this indicates which vehicle you want your File Transfer (Office Sync) files to be associated with for that particular vehicle.

Yes.

The Vehicle Sync functionality requires a DCM-300 modem. The vehicle cannot use the Vehicle Sync functionality if no DCM-300 modem is installed.

1. In the information banner of the vehicle status screen, select Calibrate Engine Hours from the drop-down list:
   
   The Calibrate Engine Hours screen appears:
   
   The screen shows the Current Engine Hours. This value establishes a baseline for engine hours as measured from the alternator’s R-terminal. Engine hours taken directly from the CAN bus require no adjustment. If the hours are negative or otherwise incorrect (which may occur, for example, if the telematics device is moved from one machine to another), you can enter the correct value to re-calibrate the system.
2. Enter the correct value, if required, and then click Save. If the value is correct, click Cancel.

Any update will take effect the next time the vehicle reports to the Trimble Ag Software solution.

A vehicle connection license is required to use most of the features of Fleet. Vehicle Connection licenses can be purchased and assigned to a vehicle. You can tell on the Vehicles page which vehicles don’t have licenses assigned by the yellow warning icons.

When creating a new vehicle, it will not have a Vehicle Connection license assigned and the screen will notify you if there are any licenses available to assign. If there are no licenses available to assign, contact your reseller to purchase licenses.

If licenses are available to assign, select the Assign a license to this vehicle check box. A window will pop up to confirm you want to assign one of your available licenses to the vehicle. Once a license has been assigned to a vehicle it can’t be moved to another vehicle.

If you confirm, the vehicle will show that it has an active Vehicle Connection License by the green Active status and the expiration date:
