Terminal Icon

The Terminal icon provides access to the cloud's real-time terminal, allowing you to execute commands directly on your device (when it's online) and receive responses immediately. This feature is invaluable for:

• Troubleshooting issues — run diagnostic commands to identify and resolve problems quickly.
• Real-time vehicle information — query the device for current vehicle data and status.
• Device configuration — make quick adjustments and test settings without waiting for sync cycles.

• If the device is currently online, you can click the Sync button to apply changes immediately without waiting.

Use pending syncs when:

• You've made multiple configuration changes and want to apply them right away.
• You need to verify that changes have been successfully applied to the device by checking the empty list, while checking the Change History for complete overview of when the changes has been applied to a device.
