laptop with connection to the internet. The PC or the laptop needs to be connected with a SMART card reader in order
to initialize downloads. The application can make the downloads only with an authorized company card inserted into the card
reader.
The download request is sent to the RDU trough the . If the RDU is online the requested data is transferredTachoSafe Gateway
to the RDU Manager application. After the download is completed the files will be available on the PC or the laptop (even if the
RDU goes offline).
If the RDU is offline the files can't be downloaded. The RDU is online when the vehicle's ignition is turned on and GPRS network
is available.

Tachograph Compatiblity
The remote download unit is compatible with digital tachographs that are capable of data download through C CAN
connector. Data download through C connector should be enabled in the tachograph with a programming tool (CTC II, MK II,
