J. J. Keller Mobile Settings

When you place your ELD order, you, as the company's Encompass System Administrator, will
receive a welcome email with a unique user name and password for Encompass. The link
provided in the email will take you to an Encompass setup selection screen. You can chose a
simplified set up wizard if your company is using the ELog Only edition of Encompass and if
you have 25 or less drivers. If you do not meet those criteria, you should chose the standard
setup, detailed below.
As Encompass System Administrator, you have the responsibility to set and configure many
company-specific items for your J. J. Keller Mobile system within Encompass. Some J. J. Keller
Mobile settings must be configured in Encompass prior to utilizing the system, including the
setup of all Keller Mobile users.

To adjust J. J. Keller Mobile settings, look to the J. J. Keller Mobile Settings box.

These settings are found in Setup / System Setup Home
Home. The settings that are configurable in the
section are:
 Mobile Company Settings - such as activation code, communication type, etc.
 Mobile Location Codes - Setup shortcuts for location entry by drivers when GPS is not
available.
 Mobile Log Remarks - allows the admin to enable/disable system default log remarks, and/
or create your own custom log remarks.
 Mobile User Logins - for setting drivers up, one at a time, with credentials to access the J. J.
Keller Mobile software.
 Map Landmarks - for setting up distribution centers, customers, etc. for viewing on the
map.

Encompass Configuration

 Mobile User Logins - Add Multiple - for setting driver up, all at once or large groups at once,
with credentials to access the J. J. Keller Mobile software.
 Mobile Device List - Displays all of the details related to the mobile devices in your fleet.
Mobile Company Settings
The Mobile Company Settings play a critical role in tying the ELD, J. J. Keller Mobile software, and
J. J. Keller's Encompass together. Additionally, there are some controls here that can adjust the
way the ELD performs. These settings may be configured, initially, by your J. J. Keller Project
Manager.
The Activation Code is setup once and is used to activate the J. J. Keller Mobile software for your
company on your drivers devices. This may be specific to each company location.
The Log Day Purge Count is how many days worth of logs will be kept on the drivers devices within
the J. J. Keller Mobile software. This does not affect how long the ELD will keep data.
The ELD Collection Rate Seconds is how often the ELD is gathering ECM data. The default is 1
second. You should always leave this setting as is.
The Number of Days to Include in FTM Trips defaults to 1, but if your trips are typically a distinct
number of days, you may wish to configure this to that particular number of days.
The Driver Start Distance (miles) is how far the vehicle can move before J. J. Keller Mobile
application indicates a driving status (AOBRD only setting).
The Driving Start Speed is a mandate regulation whereby a "driving" event is triggered when the
vehicle hits 5 miles per hour (mph). This is defaulted to "5" in Encompass to comply.
The Driver Stop Minutes is how long you want the J. J. Keller Mobile application to wait before
automatically changing the status from driving to on-duty. For example, if the driver is stopped for
more than 5 minutes, you may want the system to default to on-duty status. In that case, you
would enter 5 in this field.
The Max Acceptable Speed (MPH) is the maximum speed you wish your vehicles to travel. This
does not govern the vehicles, but simply allows you to view time spent over this threshold.
The Max Acceptable Tachometer (RPM) is used for threshold exception alerts, as well as daily
information, such as time spent over this threshold. Set this to an RPM that you do not wish your
vehicles to surpass.
The Hard Brake Deceleration Speed (MPH in 1 second) determines what is considered a hard
brake or sudden stop by your companys standards. The default is 7MPH in 1 second, so if a
vehicle decelerates 7MPH in 1 second, then a hard brake alert will be generated. 7MPH may be too
tight for your company. For some companies, 15MPH deceleration is appropriate in 1 second.

Multiple user functionality allowed
allowed? This setting is here to support operations where multiple users
are logging into the same device.
Mobile User Logins

Prior to setting up any mobile user logins, the driver(s) need to be added to the system under the
Employees tab of the Driver Management portal in Encompass.
The Mobile User Logins entry screen is used to add one driver login at a time. Each driver needs a
username and password to access the J. J. Keller Mobile software. To create usernames and
passwords for drivers, you'll need to choose from the employees you have already entered into
the system.
When adding your drivers to the system, it is critical that a Rule Set is selected under Employee
Rules, so the system knows what rules to use when auditing logs. Additionally, a hire date is
important, as that will be the day that the system starts to expect logs. ELD users will also be
required to have their license information available. You can either enter it at the same time you're
entering a new driver record or enter it when entering mobile login information.
Once drivers are added, proceed with creating mobile user logins
logins. These logins are ONLY for the J.
J. Keller Mobile software on the devices, and will not give that driver ANY access to J. J. Keller's
Encompass.
On the mobile user login entry screen, you may view all drivers already setup, edit, and delete
those drivers, as wlel as change thier passwords. To add a new driver login:

J. J. Keller User Guide - ELD Mandate Edition for Android

Page 10

Encompass Configuration

1. Select Add New Login
2. Select the Employee from the Employee drop-down.
3. Assign the driver a username and password (minimum of 4 characters)
You may also select Change Password Next Login
Login. This will allow the driver to enter the username
and password that you have created for him/her upon their first login to the J. J. Keller Mobile
software, but then they will be prompted to change their password.
Finally, each driver account must have valid drivers license information. You can either enter the
driver's license information at the time of entering the original driver record or you can add it
while setting up the mobile login. (The system will auto-populate the information for you if you've
already entered the license information.)
You should be aware, when setting up the usernames and passwords, of the type of device being
used by the driver. For example, if the driver is using a device that has letters and numbers on the
same keys, you would not assign him/her an alpha/numeric username or password. You would
want to keep it as simple as possible and utilize just a few alpha characters. If a driver is using a
device with three letters per key, it is easiest to only assign usernames and passwords that utilize
the first letter on each key.

The mandate will also require you to create a login for mechanics, dock workers, etc (anyone who
moves vehicles in the yard over 5mph). To do so, setup all your potential users under the
employees tab and then select their name on the Add User Login screen.
