Best Practices
Input Mapping
When installing the IOX-AUXM for telemetry inputs, it is mandatory that you adhere to a consistent input mapping strategy within a fleet. Having vehicles with different input mapping can impact the customer’s ability to capture and process data. Refer to the table below for Geotab recommendations.
✱ NOTE: It is mandatory to follow the input mapping as provided in the table below.
✱ NOTE: During installation, when an input is triggered, the device will beep the same number of times as the input/aux number. For example, AUX1 beeps once, AUX3 beeps three times, and AUX5 beeps five times.
✱ NOTE: IOX-AUXM learning must always start from the off (no operations) position.
✱ NOTE: If self learning does not initiate and or no beeps are heard when AUX states are changed:
- While keeping IOX-AUXM connected to the Go device, unplug the G0 device from the vehicle for approximately 1 minute.
- Reinstall device to vehicle connection.
- Retest self learn routine.

Self-Learning Logic
The IOX-AUXM uses a learning algorithm to determine the circuit type — listed below — to which the IOX-AUXM is connected:
- Ground-High Circuit — The auxiliary is connected to ground when the switch is in one position, and high voltage (i.e. 12 V) when the switch is in the other position.
- Ground-Float Circuit — The auxiliary is connected to ground when the switch is in one position, and there is an open circuit when the switch is in the other position.
- Float-High Circuit — The auxiliary is connected to high voltage when the switch is in one position, and there is an open circuit when the switch is in the other position
Expanding your IOX-AUXM
The IOX-AUXM can expand from four to eight auxiliaries by plugging in a second IOX-AUXM to the expansion port of the first and following the steps below.
✱ NOTE: You must remove the cable tie from the original IOX-AUXM.
In order for the second IOX-AUXM to report as AUX 5-8, follow the steps below:
- Locate the red and black loop, also known as Short.
- Cut the wires to configure the IOX-AUXM to act as Aux 5-8.
- Secure both IOX-AUXMs with a cable tie.
Connecting Additional IOXs to an IOX-AUXM
When connecting additional IOX devices to an IOX-AUXM, ensure the USB connector is seated correctly and secure the connection with a cable tie.
✱ NOTE: While up to 5 IOX devices can be daisy chained, the number of IOX-AUXM is limited to 2.
Termination Shunt
The IOX comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you plan to install more than one IOX in a daisy chain, you must remove the shunt from each device in the line.
The shunt must remain in the last IOX and secured with a cable tie, this will ensure the GO device detects and configures the IOX, as effectively as possible.
A maximum of 4 IOXs can be daisy chained for GO6 devices.
GO7 and newer devices allow up to 5 IOXs in total.
