Trimble Access Installation Manager The Trimble Access Installation Manager automatically installs and updates controllers with the latest software versions that you are entitled to. The first time you install or update Trimble Access software, you must download and install the Installation Manager onto the office computer. For subsequent installations or updates, you do not need to re-install the Installation Manager. If updates are available, this application updates itself automatically. The office computer must have an Internet connection for installations and updates.

Exercise: Installation Download it now from your Trimble Connected Community Organization. www.myconnectedsite.com Log in Browse to the Organization Administration page on the Trimble Access Home site. Download using the link in the “Field Software and Office Updates” pane. Tip: Each time you log into the Trimble Connected CommunityTM, you can see on pages provided by Trimble information on the latest versions of software for the system. Note: You can also install from www.trimble.com/taim

Trimble Access Installation Manager Once connected, the Installation Manager reads the serial number of the device and determines what software the controller is licensed for. It compares the software installed on the controller with the latest versions available on the Trimble hosted server and provides a list of available updates for the Office and Field. The user then selects the software they want to install or update. If a component is already up-to-date with the latest version, it is not available to select. If a component is compulsory, the text is maroon and you cannot de-select the item. The Installation Manager downloads the latest versions from the Trimble server and then installs them on the controller.

Exercise: Installation Install Trimble Access on your controller. Run the Trimble Access Installation Manager from the Start / Programs menu on the office computer. Connect the controller to the office computer using ActiveSync Select the software that you want to install or update on the connected controller: Click Start. The Trimble Access Installation Manager downloads the license file and the selected components to the office computer and then installs them onto the connected controller.

Trimble Access Installation Manager Get access to the latest features with minimal effort Allows easy installation by remote staff which can help reduce downtime on equipment

The Trimble AccessSync Service

The Trimble AccessSync Service Real time: Compares the files in the selected project folders on the controller with the folder on Trimble Connected Community every 30 seconds. If there is a file on the controller which does not exist on the server, or if the files are different then the changes will be uploaded Flexible: Uses any internet connection: ActiveSync, WiFi, or cellular These benefits cover the advantages over using standard email or setting up ftp. Tip: faster the internet connection the faster the transfer. Suggest utilising fast connections where possible. I.e. if you do have a wifi or active sync connection it can be worthwhile utilising it

The Trimble AccessSync Service Secure: To send or receive a file you must be successfully logged into the system You can choose which TCC project site to send your data to, and who has access to that site Safe: Files are not overwritten but renamed if there are duplicates Duplicate files are rare - the folder structure within the TCC project site provides each user with their own folder for every controller they use.

The Trimble AccessSync Service Smart: Only selected file types are uploaded, increases the efficiency of transfer reduces cost of transferring unnecessary files. Only changes are uploaded, not the whole file If the internet connection is lost, the files will be uploaded when the internet connection is regained. AccessSync will keep trying to send the files until the transfer is successful. GPS corrections take priority over file upload.

The Trimble AccessSync Service Seamless: There’s no need to keep choosing when to send updates, changes are automatically sent in the background while you continue with your work.

The Trimble AccessSync Service Alerts indicate internet connection status and if new files are available Indicates that 4 files ready to synchronize but not selected to continually update Indicates folder from another site. Select to reassign to currently selected site and sync Indicates that data in username folder is synchronized and will continually update Trimble AccessSync status information
