Always check that the antennas, on the machine side
and on the workshop router side, are not obstructed
by shielding or metallic materials in general and
are not at an indicative distance greater than
10 m. If insufficient, it is recommended to improve
the coverage of the radio signal in the workshop
installing directional antennas or signal repeaters.
!
Make sure that the workshop network has active
security protocols (e.g.: WPA, WPA2) in order to
ensure data security.

Connected Repair [CoRe]
5.18.1
General information
Connected Repair, hereinafter CoRe, is a garage
management system that allows to connect all the
equipment and computers in the same network to
speed up and improve the management, sharing and
digitization of data and services to be carried out on
the vehicle.
Generally a CoRe network is formed by a server and
a number of clients equal to the number of PCs or
devices that can connect to it.
ACS 763/863 is to be considered as a client which is
able to autonomously connect to the CoRe server after
having configured the basic settings and exchange
with it the data necessary to carry out Air Conditioning
services or simply A/C services.
Once the vehicle has been accepted from any
workstation, the CoRe server sends the vehicle data
and the data of the required interventions to all other
workstations and equipment connected to it, in this
way the operators and the equipment are already ready
to work on the vehicle without having to enter again
the data needed to identify the vehicle and/or the
customer.
The required interventions are then made available
in a few seconds and are subsequently saved in the
central memory by the CoRe server to optimize the
time needed for vehicle and customer recognition
in any subsequent appointments, where it will be
sufficient to enter the license number or VIN from any
workstation, to view the whole history of the vehicle,
the technical interventions and to view all the reports
of the equipment used in the previous works.
i
ACS 763/863 must be configured to access the
same WiFi network to which the CoRe server is
connected (see chapter "WiFi Configuration").

+
Settings: to configure the connection to the CoRe
server. The data to enter is as follows:
$
Host address: is the IP address of the CoRe
server.
$
Host port: is the server port used for the
connection, typically the port number is set to
59487 by default, but it is possible to check this
parameter on the CoRe server in the Settings -
Computer Overview section.
$
Password: is the password (Interface password)
set during the installation of the CoRe server.
5. Confirm the entered data with
"
ACS 763/863 will try to connect to the CoRe server to
check that all parameters entered are correct.
5.18.3
Operation
To use the CoRe function:
+
Select available A/C task: to select and perform
A/C services previously registered at CoRe server
level. After connecting the ACS 763/863 to the
CoRe server using the settings described above,
it is possible through this item to select one of
the available A/C services and perform it on the
desired vehicle. Once the A/C service is selected
and performed, the ACS 763/863 will send a report
to the CoRe server that will automatically save the
result and all data related to it.
+
Create new A/C task: to create an A/C service from
the ACS 763/863 and assign an Air Conditioning
Service to one of the active vehicles in the
workshop. Selecting this item will display the list of
all active vehicles in the workshop and registered
on the CoRe server regardless of whether or not
a specific A/C service has been requested. When
the vehicle is selected, the ACS 763/863 will send
a special command to the CoRe server so that
the latter registers that an A/C service is being
performed on the selected vehicle. At the end of
the A/C service, a detailed report will be sent to the
CoRe server that will save it and make it available
for displaying or printing.
