Introduction

The DriveRight Remote Download Kit allows you to download DriveRight data from any standard phone line to a host computer running DriveRight Vehicle Management Software (VMS). The DriveRight unit connects to a user-supplied modem which, when powered up, automatically dials the host computer and downloads the data.

This manual describes how to pre-program the US Robotics CourierV. Everything modem to dial and download when switched on. It also details how to connect a DriveRight unit to the pre-programmed modem for downloading.

User Requirements

To use this kit, you must supply the following equipment:

Host computer

A PC running DriveRight VMS that has a modem (referred to as “host modem”) and a phone number. This computer, when operating in host mode, will receive downloaded DriveRight data.

Field modem

A modem with power-on dial-up capabilities that the driver can use in the field to download data to the host computer. This manual provides instructions for configuring and programming the US Robotics Courier V. Everything modem.

NOTE: You may use any modem with power-on dial-up capabilities (i.e., can dial a pre-set phone number automatically when you turn it on). However, not all modems respond to the same commands or act the same way on power up. If you purchase a modem other than the US Robotics Courier V. Everything, you will need to modify the instructions presented here using the documentation provided with your specific modem.

DriveRight unit

A DriveRight data logger/display unit used to monitor and store driving information.
