How to activate and deactivate device airtimes

Please note: Your INVENTA account needs to hold Device Owner or Device Manager permissions to be able to activate and deactivate airtimes.

Please note: Activation and deactivation requirements differ depending on the communication type:

Com Type	Can be activated?	Can be deactivated?	Remark
Iridium			Requests handled directly via provider API
Globalstar			Requests handled by Vectronic. (Within 24 hours on business days)
GSM			Requests handled by Vectronic. (Within 24 hours on business days)

* Activation is only possible if the airtime account has enough funds.

Device airtimes can be activated and deactivated on INVENTA’s devices pages.

If you want to activate or deactivate the airtimes of a single device, you will find a corresponding action in the Action column on the far right of the table:

If you want to edit the airtimes of several devices at the same time, check their checkboxes and find the corresponding action in the multi-select menu on the right:

Please note: The availability of the action depends on the airtime status, communication type, and your device permission. If the action does not appear, please consult the table above and check your device permissions.

Good to know:

• Airtime owners can also activate and deactivate airtimes.
• If it should become necessary to adjust the permissions of other users to enable them to manage airtimes, please find instructions at How to manage user roles.
