# Setup or commission an SCS Controller using Field app
## How to setup a SCS controller installed in a cooler with Field app.
### **Before starting**
- **Turn on location tracking** - It is best if your mobile device is connected online while updating your GPS as this is how the Google Maps lookup works. If you prefer to stay offline, just type in the address, and wait for the map screen to turn Green to indicate a GPS lock.
- **Check you have the correct permissions** - if the SCS Controller has been configured during the [initial installation and wiring phase](https://support.aofrio.com/key-phases-for-installing-iot-hardware-in-the-factory?hsLang=en), and assigned to a database you must have the appropriate permissions supplied by your User Manager to access it via Field app.

### **Step 1 - Add a parameter file to the Controller**
| 1. Open the Field app menu and click **SCS SETUP**. You will see a message “*Manufacturer has not been set.*” If this is the first time you’ve connected to the cooler and the installed SCS Controller, you will be prompted to select a Manufacturer from the dropdown. Once you’ve made your selection, tap **OK.** |  |
| --- | --- |
| 2. Select the **SERVER** option then choose a parameter file to download from the dropdown list. Click **DOWNLOAD**. | |
| 3. Select the **LOCAL** option then select the parameter file you have just downloaded. Click **SELECT** to accept and then click **OK** to confirm. | |
| 4. Once the parameter file has been processed, you will see a confirmation message “*Write config to SCS succeeded*”. Click **OK**. | |
### **Step 2 - Set up ownership details and install address**
| 1. To set the **COOLER OWNER**: - a) Click **EDIT** in the matching field. - b) Select the cooler owner from the dropdown list. - c) Click **SAVE** to confirm and click **OK** to accept. |  |
| --- | --- |
| 2. To add an **ASSET NUMBER** either: - a) Add the number manually or click **SCAN BARCODE** to scan it using the phone’s camera. - b) Click **SAVE** to confirm and click **OK** to accept. | |
| 3. To set a **COOLER MODEL:** - a) Click **EDIT** in the matching field. - b) Select a model from the drop-down list. - c) Click **SAVE** to confirm and click **OK** to accept. | |
| 4. (Optional) To add the **Manufacturer Serial Number:** - a) Click **EDIT** and add the number manually or click **SCAN BARCODE** to scan it using the phone’s camera. - b) Click **SAVE** to confirm and click **OK** to accept. | |
| 5. To add an installation address: - a) Click **INSTALL ADDRESS.** - b) If GPS is turned on, the phone will automatically locate your current position (blue marker) or if your GPS is turned off, type the outlet address in the **INSTALL ADDRESS** text box and select **SHOW ON MAP.** - c) If the Google address is still not correct, enter the address manually in the text box then drag the yellow marker around the map screen to position the cooler’s exact location. Double tap the map screen to fix the cooler’s exact location with a yellow marker. It is not necessary to select **SAVE** at this point. |  |
| 6. To add the outlet, click on the **OUTLET/ UNIT** tab then enter information for: - **OUTLET NAME** - (Optional) **UNIT** e.g.,2nd floor, unit 3 - **PHONE** - **EMAIL** |  |
| 7. Click **SAVE** and **OK** to confirm. You have now successfully completed adding the **INSTALL ADDRESS**. | |
| 8. To add additional data such as the customer ID, click **ADDITIONAL DATA**. - a) Enter **CUSTOMER ID** manually or click **SCAN** to scan the barcode number using the phone’s camera. - b) (Optional) Enter the **SALES ROUTE** and **TECH ROUTE**. Click in the field below **ORG UNIT** and select your organization position from the dropdown list. Then click **SAVE**. | |
| 9. To add a photo of the cooler in location: - a) Click **PHOTO & NOTES** then enter any other information relevant to the photo in the text box. - b) Click the **COOLER** radio button to upload a cooler photo or click the STORE radio button to upload a store photo. - c) Click **SELECT PHOTO** to upload the photo from your phone gallery and click **SAVE** to confirm. You can add notes without a photo, or a photo without notes but you can only add one photo at a time. To add extra photos, select **PHOTO & NOTES** again and repeat the steps above. |  |
### **Step 4 - Review your information**
A green tick beside each field indicates all the fields are set and installation is complete. The manufacturer’s serial number doesn’t get a green tick because the system regards this as optional.
Once you are happy with the information you have entered, open the menu and click **DISCONNECT** to complete the process.
Note: It is important to complete the disconnect step to ensure that all asset data is properly stored in the SCS Controller.
