To verify the MBS2 unit is operational; ensure the following items:
1. Move the vehicle to an area where there are no obstructions to the southern
exposure for the Wireless Matrix MBS2.
2. Check the cable connections to the MBS2 and verify it is securely connected.
MBS2 Operation
The operation of the MBS2 is passive. It will activate in order to send data, which is triggered by
use of an application on the Client Side Computer for such purposes. It will also activate when it
receives a remote request (such as when it is polled for vehicle information), or receives data
(such as a message from a dispatcher). In addition, because the unit will automatically select the
best routing for messages without user intervention, the user does not need to interact with the
unit to select a communications method.
In this regard, there is no activity which the vehicle operator must undertake with the MBS2 unit.
Equipment Failure or Damage
If the MBS2 unit suffers a mechanical failure or is damaged during the course of the program,
please notify Customer Care as soon as possible. Equipment that is returned damaged or in
non-working order without prior notification will be the responsibility of the program participant.
