How to configure the ignition blocking function on Eco5lite through SMS

This article describes how to activate the ignition blocking function, using the Advanced Configurator to create the equivalent SMS command.

Explanation:

Remote ignition blocking using driver identification prevents unauthorized vehicle starts by operators without an ID key. Below are the steps to activate this function remotely via SMS

Guidelines:

1. In the Advanced Configurator, navigate to "Digital output" to configure the digital output configuration settings.

2. Configure the output as "Blocking" since this is required for the driver registration logic to function properly.

3. On the Advanced Configurator main screen, go to the “Driver Registration” function.

4. Within Driver Registration, set "Registration function" to Blocking and in the Output box link the Blocking output by enabling the checkbox and close.

5. Now go to the File menu and click "Generate SMS".

6. The SMS window will launch, showing the generated SMS command (setcfg 240 3, 255 3, 257 8) that must be sent to the device to complete the configuration.

Expected outcome: After sending the SMS with the configuration, the device will be reprogrammed, and the output will be locked until an identification key is detected.
