Smart Cradle Configuration
The Smart Cradle Configuration app (CradleSmartConfig) avoids the need to manually enter the row,
column, and wall ID’s during the cradle wall configuration. Unlike using the Cradle Utility, where these
values are entered for each slot, CradleSmartConfig guides the user through the configuration process.
Additionally, the app implements automatic error checks and provides auditing mechanisms (Quick/Full)
once the configuration is completed.
Use CradleSmartConfig to:
• Declare the wall map (row, column, wall, current)
• Declare empty/blank spots (kiosk, TV, computer monitor, or unique store shapes)
• Follow a screen guided sequence to read/program each slot based on the guided map
• Catch errors (duplication, skipped slots, and non-programmed slots).
Support
CradleSmartConfig supports the following:
• Single slot and three slot cradles.
• Selectively removing certain cradle slots from the matrix, as placeholders for a kiosk, TV, computer
monitor, or unique store shapes.
• Scrolling the screen left/right and up/down.
• A panning view of the cradle wall to be shown below the cradle icons as an indication of where the
current focus is.
Prerequisites/Assumptions
CradleSmartConfig requires the following prerequisites or assumes the following:
• The customer knows by a paper map or plan what the rows and columns should be set to for the wall.
• The wall is rectangular.
• Empty/blank spots are known (spots that do not have cradles).
• All three slot cradles should be the same type.
• SmartCradleConfig is installed on the device before starting.
• The default charging rate setting is 1A.
Error Prevention
CradleSmartConfig helps prevent user errors by:
• Detecting if a slot has already been programmed properly.
• Detecting if a slot was missed (for example, 1,2,3,1,2,3,2,3)
• Providing screen guides as to the direction of the next slot to program.
• Guiding when to move up or down a row.
• Visual cues when an error is made.
• Automatically programming Wall/Row/Column/Current once it has detected it moved to the proper next
slot.
