You can use the Smart Connect AI tab to enable, configure, and monitor VIMS (Vehicle Ignition Monitoring System) on the firewall hardware. VIMS uses IGN+ and BATT+ inputs to detect instances of vehicle ignition and draw electrical current to power the connected appliance. By installing a supported firewall in this way, you can effectively establish a mobile network perimeter, track vehicle data, and secure sensitive data in remote locations.

Only the following firewalls support VIMS:

These firewalls have BATT- and IGN+ inputs that must be connected to the vehicle's primary power source. You can only enable VIMS configuration once the connection between the firewall and the vehicle is established. The PA-54R-POE and PA-54R-POE-D-5G in particular require the use of an AMPSU (Automotive Power Supply Unit). The interface between the AMPSU and the firewall offers input/output pins that can be configured to monitor and report on different conditions of the VIMS deployment based on voltage signals.
