If the Company Admin turns on the optional feature of Bluetooth proximity on the portal, then Bluetooth Proximity is enabled automatically after successfully registering the ZAMS device with the Cabinet.
For example, you may want to consider using this feature in the case of a truck driver checks out the device at the start of the shift (near the Cabinet) and may charge the device in the truck during the day, so this feature will allow them to do that without popping up a PIN screen or charge screen to interrupt drivers everyday work.
When Bluetooth Proximity is enabled, the device can pair with the Cabinet dashboard and measure the distance between the mobile device and the Cabinet dashboard device. If the user is more than approximately 2 meters away from the Cabinet dashboard, the alarm triggers regardless of timer duration. No data is transferred between the dashboard and the mobile device over the Bluetooth connection. It is there only to measure the distance.
When Bluetooth Proximity is enabled and you are successfully logged in, ZAMS is only triggered when the device is put back on power within 2 meters of the Cabinet dashboard.
Electro-magnetic noise at a site can interfere with the ability of the devices to measure the distance accurately.
The message Bluetooth proximity is disabled displays when Bluetooth is disabled.
Bluetooth Proximity can be enabled from the ZAMS portal at the Company (for all locations) or at a Location level.
When Bluetooth Proximity is enabled from the ZAMS portal, ensure that
Bluetooth
and
Location
are enabled on the Mobile device.
