AerPort is a self-service Connectivity Management Platform used to manage the life-cycle of your SIMs and your connectivity services. AerPort has two distinct user interfaces: Classic and AerPort portal.

Basics
The AerPort portal was introduced in 2023. It displays usage and billing information, analytic and operational reports, device and SIM information, network status, and alerts. This portal is a web page, https://ngaerport.aeris.com/, that displays features using a freshly updated paradigm with menus along the left side of the screen. New features in AerPort are being developed exclusively in this portal because the Classic AerPort paradigm will be retired shortly.
The AerPort portal is available for all customers. All users in your primary account will have access to it. However, if you use sub-accounts, those accounts may not automatically have access.
By default, when you login, you see the AerPort portal user interface. If you want to go back to Classic AerPort, click Return to Classic AerPort.

AerPort Portal Menu Options
From Classic AerPort, select Try the New Portal. The AerPort portal screen appears. Menu choices are in the left pane. The choices you see depend on which features are enabled in your connectivity subscription.

- Dashboard: These menu items provide a overall look at your devices, billing, and usage.
- SIMs: These menu options items provide you with full access to all the SIMs and devices in your account. You can activate and deactivate SIMs, test communication with SIMs, manage traffic, and view monthly/daily/hourly data usage for each SIM.
-
Security: These menu items open the Aeris IoT Watchtower. Watchtower has two
modules: Awareness and Enforcement. The Awareness capabilities are available from the
Visibility menu item and the Enforcement capabilities are available from the Blocked Flows
and Policies menu items.
- Awareness provides a dashboard and capabilities regarding being aware of threats to the security of your IoT deployment.
- Enforcement provides robust features to enforce a strong security posture to protect your deployment.
- Analytics: These menu items open various analytical reports that help you fine-tune the performance of your IoT solution. See Your Business Performance Analytic Reports for more information.
- Reports: These menu items provide a wide variety of reporting options at the account level or device level. You can run ad hoc reports, save new reports, and view automatically generated monthly reports.
- Alerts: These menu items provide the ability to view current alerts and manage alert notifications based on device activity.
- Network Status: This menu item displays a pop-up menu with the status of network connectivity for different Aeris product offerings, such as Fusion Global, Fusion NA, and Dual-Mode A-LH. This information is the same as is provided in Classic AerPort under Network Status on the menu bar. See Network Status for more information. Note that the network status for Fusion Global HD is the same as for Fusion Global.
- Account: This menu item lets you manage users, view account details, and manage API keys.
- <Profile>: This menu item will show your username. It lets you edit your profile information.
- Help: These menu items provide links to the customer documentation, information about upcoming cellular product and feature deactivations, an option to submit a Zendesk support ticket, and a link to the web page where the user can download the VPN form. These menu items are the same as are provided in Classic AerPort under the ? menu.
- Virtual Assistant: This menu item opens the AerPort chat window (called AVA) in a separate tab in your browser. You can ask AVA to a variety of commands using a command-line interface. In AVA, type "what can you do?" to see a list of commands. For example, you can type status followed by the ICCID to see the current registration status of the SIM.
-
Feedback: While using the functionality provided in the portal, you can provide a
rating and comments using the Feedback menu item.
- Logout: You can end your AerPort and portal session by selecting Logout.
