1.1 Registering on the WIFI network.
The Piccolo Plus acts as a WIFI Hot Spot, and can provide an internet connection to
your Android Tablet. This is not needed if you are using a phone, since the phone has
its own data plan.
To connect to the WIFI Hot Spot, you need to first log into the WIFI network. The
network name for your Piccolo provided WIFI is typically GFT plus your truck # (eg
GFT1234). The password to the WIFI is available from your Dispatcher. Further
explanations on how to set up your WIFI can be found in the WIFI section #7 at the end
of this manual.
Click I Agree to begin using the app. Clicking Cancel will exit the app.
