If a CarChip is assigned to a vehicle, the default driver of that vehicle will appear as the<br />

driver on all downloaded data from that CarChip.<br />

If a CarChip is assigned to a driver, then all data downloaded from that CarChip will be<br />

associated with that driver and the vehicle will be listed as UNKNOWN VEHICLE.<br />

If you just want to add a CarChip and you don’t yet have a vehicle or driver to assign, you<br />

can select "UNKNOWN VEHICLE".<br />

Based on your specific situation, you should carefully consider the options before<br />

assigning a CarChip to either a vehicle or driver.<br />

The Add New CarChip command opens a wizard that will guide you through the process<br />

of adding CarChips. It will also allow you to add drivers and vehicles if they are not<br />

already in the database.<br />

CarChip Considerations<br />

If both a CarChip device and DriveRight console are installed in the same vehicle, you<br />

will need to create two entries for the driver and two entries for the vehicle in the<br />

DriveRight <strong>FMS</strong> database. Otherwise you will see duplicate trip data in your DriveRight<br />

<strong>FMS</strong> reports.<br />

If you have multiple serial ports, you can connect CarChip to one serial port and<br />

DriveRight to another. If you do not have multiple serial ports we recommend you buy a<br />

serial switch box to switch between the two devices or a serial extension cord to make<br />

plugging and unplugging the download cables more convenient.<br />

If you are using both CarChip and DriveRight devices, make sure both types of devices<br />

use the same safety settings.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Speed Band 3 in CarChip should match Speed Limit in DriveRight.<br />

Hard Braking in CarChip should match Decel Limit in DriveRight.<br />

Hard Acceleration in CarChip should match Accel Limit in DriveRight.<br />

o<br />

Unlike DriveRight, a CarChip can be assigned either to a vehicle or to a driver.<br />
