The FleetConnect Office contains four executable

programs FCRead.exe, FCEdit.exe, FCLoad.exe and an

installation program for the USB button reader.

FCEdit is a graphical user interface for office computers

where users can manage operational data, validate any

changes made in the field (for example adding a new

customer), configure print tickets, and change system

settings. FCEdit also plays a large role in the setup of a

FleetConnect System by helping map RFID buttons and

populating the FleetConnect database. The USB button

reader plugs into any office computer USB port and

reads the ID number of the RFID buttons for FCEdit to

map the RFID buttons.

FCRead converts transaction files, created by DMS

i1000s in the field, into ASCII text files for use in FCEdit

and third party software.

db ManaGer

DB Manager is used to setup and manage wireless

communication between DMS i1000s in the trucks and

personal computers in your office. DB Manager contains

two programs LCPSetup.exe and DBManager.exe. The

first program, LCPSetup.exe, aligns communication

parameters and conducts testing to confirm wireless

communication between the office PC and the DMS

i1000. The second, DBManager.exe, specifies the DMS

i1000s in the field, sets the file paths to the office PC,

sets a schedule to check for modified FleetConnect

database files and sends those files to the DMS i1000s

in the field.

Cell ModeM

Cell modems enable long distance wireless data

transmissions between DMS i1000s in the field and

office PCs. Cell modems and service contracts are

purchased separately from a cellular service provider.

The RF transceivers are designed for short, line-of-sight

wireless transmissions between DMS i1000s in the field

and the office PC. .
