3. Introduction
3.1. Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide the step-by step-instructions for using the
SmartInstaller to program V3 SmartSpots. No other User operations are possible as operation the
V3 SmartSpot is entirely automatic once programmed.
3.2. Background
This document was created as part of the documentation of V3 of the SmartParking System,
which includes the on-site SmartSpot and IGS VDS equipment, the 3G network connecting it to the
SmartParking Cloud components, the SmartRep reporting user interface, and in this case; the
system configuration capability.
3.3. SmartInstaller Overview
SmartInstaller is a SmartParking Limited application that runs on a device running both the Android
Operating system and OTG (USB On The Go.), (i.e. a Samsung Galaxy 3 or later Smartphone,
Galaxy Note Tablet, etc.).
Also required is a SmartParking Limited proprietary dongle capable of rf communication with the
firmware on the SmartSpots.
An example using a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone is shown below:
The dongle connects to the Smartphone via the mini-USB port. Once connected, the LED on the
dongle should flash and the Smartphone will state that a USB device is connected.
Dongle Functionality
- RF –This is the same 915MHz radio equipment and protocol as used in the IGS
- LED –These are the TX/RX indicators for the RF
