Access IDs
Note:
Access IDs are often
provided by the end user.
When the system is in “Any ID” access mode (default configuration when
the VAC is shipped), an access ID creates a
“Place Holder” operator profile in the PowerFleet
Vision Pro
™ software when first presented to a VAC and the operator
is granted access to the vehicle as a
Standard
operator. The place holder profiles are associated with the ID’s embedded
identification number and can be updated with actual operator information (name, password, authorization level, etc.)
at the customer’s discretion. Alternatively, operator profiles can be added directly to the software (in “Any ID” mode or
“Registered ID” mode) by presenting the access IDs to the desktop Access ID Reader. Refer to the
PowerFleet Vision Pro
training video for more details.
To access the vehicle as a
Master or Maintenance
level operator, the numeric operator ID and password using the VAC
keypad must be entered. The ID numbers can be found in the installation documentation. The software should be used
to assign individuals’ ID’s as Master or Main
tenance operators.
Note:
Each iButton fob has a unique operator ID. The
operator with the personal fob must be accurately
recorded.
Each fob is assigned and distributed to each operator.
Note the name of the operator AND the fob’s ID number
(
or the fob’s ID label can be peeled off and placed next to
the operator’s name)
on the provided I.D. Registration
form (Refer to 000-00000495 document). Later, that
data can be entered into the PowerFleet software to
associate each operator with his/her fob.
