1.2.2. The Big Picture
So how does it all work? The System Administrator enters the necessary
data into the software: locations, machines, pricing and other information
SMS2 will need to manage a system.
When data entry is complete, the System Administrator can create
different types of Smart Cards to perform various functions. Each Smart
Card can be used to perform one or several of the functions listed below.
1.2.2.1. Management Cards
Login Cards – Smart Cards that allow or restrict the operation of
SMS2. Additional login cards allow other users to become
System Administrators.
Setup Cards – Smart Cards that utilize data entered into SMS2 to
program each individual unit - laundry machines, card transaction
machines and Door Access Readers.
Data Collection Cards – Smart Cards used to collect data stored
on individual machine readers, transaction machines and Door
Access Readers and transfer this data to SMS2. The collected data
from these cards create reports for later analysis.
Utility Cards – Smart Cards used to allow laundry machines to
operate in service mode for necessary maintenance. Utility cards
also allow the set up of time/date information for the machines.
