Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions our customers have.
CTM-ONE
What power options does the CTM-ONE support?
The CTM-ONE has a CAN Bus port that supports two CAN interfaces. For ease of installation in mobile applications, connecting the supplied OBDII or J1939 cable is all that is required to provide power and obtain vehicle parameters such as trouble codes, odometer, fuel, idle time, ignition state, and engine hours. A locking power connection is also available for installations where CAN is not available or required. The DC power connection supports 6-36 Volts DC with ignition-sense detection. An optional internal battery is available to provide a “last-gasp” solution for tamper detection.
How do I factory reset a CTM-ONE?
At the moment, it is not possible for a user to do a factory reset themselves. This will be included in a future firmware release. In the meantime, the Reset to Defaults button can be used on each screen.
Can I use multiple SIM cards in my CTM-ONE device?
The CTM-ONE device features a dual SIM port for two different SIM cards. SIM cards can be swapped out at anytime. Cypress Solutions can assist in providing the best SIM cards for the CTM-ONE or you can use your own SIM card.
Cypress VUE
What is Cypress VUE?
Cypress VUE is used in conjunction with fleet-installed hardware like the CTM-ONE or CTM-200 wireless gateway. The gateway sends telemetry data via cellular wireless to Cypress VUE where data is displayed in real-time. In addition, other equipment in the vehicle can be connected to the gateway, and data from this equipment can be displayed in the software.

Cypress IOT
What is Cypress IOT?
Cypress IOT is a secure multi-tenant device management software. The platform provides the ability to securely configure and deploy devices, as well as updating device firmware. You can edit configurations, add jobs, and automate tasks all from your desktop, tablet or smartphone.
What is the difference between device management and device monitoring?
Device management allows users to interact with each device and make changes to device configurations. Executing a job is equivalent to managing a device. Device monitoring utilizes logic and features in the device configuration to provide details to Cypress IOT. Within Cypress IOT, you can navigate to a device and look at telemetry data. You can then use that data to generate reports and populate dashboards.
What is the difference between Jobs and Commands?
A job requires a name defined, an action to perform, and a list of devices to apply the job to. A command is one of the three types of jobs that can be run. The Jobs tab will contain a list of jobs that have been sent.
An action would be one of the following:
Firmware: send as a job to upgrade your device’s Firmware
Commands: bash script that runs commands on device via a command line interface (CLI)
Configurations: various configs that can be pushed to a device in the field
