The FleetConnect Connected Navigation Device(CND) connects
to the Internet via the mobile data network. This connection
allows users to input messages into the CND unit or the Web site and
send them. The user on the CND unit will be alerted when a message
arrives and they can view and respond to the message at their
convenience. The messages are flagged as read or unread. A user can
reply to the messages, they can delete the message and they can
create their own messages. All messages status's are recorded at the
web site for audit purposes.
All messages are stored in "threads" so it is easy to see
conversations that have gone on between users. If a recipient
replies to a message then the reply is attached to the thread making
it easier to follow messages over a period of time.
The web administrator can setup a list of response messages that the
handheld user can use in the subject line instead of typing common
message responses such as "On my way", "Read and understood", "Will
arrive there at.." etc. This list is then sent to each device
for them to use.
The Web Administrator can also setup user names and passwords that
the users can use to log ito the system for sending and receiving
messages.
