The "Fleet/Key Configuration" function allows you to easily configure and manage a Machine Security System (MSS) enabled machine or a set of machines. The function allows you to program, load, and save a set of configuration parameters and key information. The information can be loaded from or programmed to the MSS. This information can also be saved to or loaded from a file.
Once a file is saved in"Fleet/Key Configuration", File Management can be used to export the file as a *.MSS file. The exported *.MSS file can then be imported into the MSS Key Management Software program, for management of the "Fleet/Key" information.
