Short answer

How do I fix offline Parklio gateways using AI?

Your AI uses the Parklio PMS connection to find disconnected gateways and trigger remote reboots. You'll see the specific gateway status and the results of any reboot attempts.

Troubleshooting outcomes

Where your hardware status lands.

The AI categorizes the results of your hardware checks into these outcomes.

STATUS

Connectivity reports

The AI identifies which specific gateways are currently offline. You get a clear list of hardware that needs attention.

ACTION

Remote reboots

The AI sends reboot commands to the hardware. This attempts to clear local errors and restore the connection.

SUCCESS

Restored hardware

Once a reboot works, the gateway shows as online. Your hardware is back to normal operation.

MANUAL

Physical inspection

If remote reboots fail, the AI flags the device for a human. You'll know exactly which unit needs a hands-on check.

The workflow

What your AI does when a gateway goes offline.

The AI handles the technical heavy lifting of identifying and attempting to fix the connection.

  1. Identify offline units

    The AI scans your Parklio deployment to find any gateways that aren't communicating.
