Configuring the Database Settings present within the SmartPDE Mobile app is the 4th step out of 5 steps required to setup and start using SmartPDE Mobile. This must be completed in order to connect the BackOffice with the SmartPDE Mobile app so that the Operator can start running stock functions on the app.

• Completion of SmartPDE Mobile App Setup in the given order:
1. SmartPDE Mobile Licensing & Installation

Database Settings

• In the SmartPDE Mobile App, from the Login Page, click on Database Settings
• Now, the Operator can see field boxes for IP Address, Port No. & Secret Key
• They can also view the Test Connection and Register This Device Buttons

• The Operator must now enter the IP Address, Port No. & Secret Key as configured within the  SmartPDE Mobile Scheduled Job & Configurations  created within BackOffice
• Once the correct details have been entered, click the Test Connection button

• Once the connection is successful, press the 'Register This Device' button
• A confirmation message pops up with two options, "Cancel" & "OK"
• If OK is pressed, then a message pops up in green, "Device Registered Successfully"; otherwise, the Device is not registered

• Once the Operator has successfully registered their device, a new option called, 'Get New Database' is displayed on the screen
• Click on the 'Get New Database' option to retrieve an SQL Lite version of the database from the Bepoz SmartControl
