6.0 DRIVER ID

If the Driver ID (Driver Identification) functionality has been enabled on the vehicle’s MDT by an
OnlineAVL user, then a driver is required to enter a Driver PIN (determined by OnlineAVL user)
to confirm their Driver ID.

The Driver PIN (Personal Identification Number) must be entered within a certain time frame
(time determined by the OnlineAVL user, eg 40 seconds) otherwise the MDT will beep after this
time has passed until a correct Driver PIN has been entered.

6.1 HOW TO LOGON

1. The Driver ID Logon screen will appear on the MDT 10-12 seconds after ignition on

2. The number ‘0’ will appear in the space of the first digit. Use the ‘Up & Down Function’
key to change this digit to the first digit of your Driver PIN

3. Use the ‘Right Function’ key to move to the space of the next digit of the Driver PIN.
Repeat step 2 to select the number

4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have inserted your complete Driver PIN

5. Press ‘ENTER’ to confirm Driver PIN. The MDT will then send your PIN number back to
OnlineAVL for authentication. This may take a few minutes depending on cellular
network coverage.

6.3 IF THE MDT IS BEEPING

The MDT will beep to remind you to logon with a Driver PIN. You can stop the beeping by
entering a valid PIN number. If you have not being assigned a Driver PIN and the MDT is
beeping, contact your office immediately.

6.4 IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF COVERAGE

If the vehicle is out of coverage when you are inserting the Driver PIN, the Halo Qube tracking
device will store the information and will send it when it is back in coverage.
