Navigation: Dealer Access Module: Defining Dealer Access Module Users This Help File Page was last Modified on 07/15/2016

❑The Dealer Access Module allows certain Technicians and other persons designated as Dealer Users, to access the Dealer Access Module Client Connection and view certain specified Subscriber's data, and to add, modify and/or delete Central Station related information, as well as viewing Selected Central Station Reports, from a remote PC via a direct internet connection, or with wireless Web access.

1.Those Technicians who are to be permitted access to the Dealer Access Module Client Connection, must be identified using the Dealer Users Form.

2.Unlike Technicians who use the Virtual Operator application - who must be identified as Employees and provided specific Log in access information on that Employee's Security tab - those Technicians using the Dealer Access Module Client Connection only need to be identified here in this Dealer Users Form.
