Satellites or Satellite Access Points are the wireless 'Hubs' that the FasCard readers connect to via WIFI in order to connect to the internet and then back to the FasCard servers. Every location needs at least 1 SAP configured and installed in order for the FasCard readers to operate properly. A label affixed to the SAP contains the MAC address for the unit, this value is required in order to add the unit to the FasCard system. This process is performed from within the Location Setup tab.

Setup process
The following steps are laid out in CCI's recommended order to assist the user configuring the FasCard account to complete it in a timely and orderly fashion.
Step 1 – Logging inWhen the FasCard account is first opened, user credentials for the system operator will be provided by Card Concepts Inc. Please be sure to check the "Spam/Junk" folders of your email inbox for the email message.

| |||||||
Step 2 – Adding locations and location groupsA minimum of one location will need to be manually setup on the Admin site. Any additional locations will need to be added by CCI or by the system operator.
|
| |||||||
Step 3 – Adding Satellites to locationsIn order for the FasCard readers and kiosks to work, they must be connected to a Satellite Access Point (SAP). The SAP serves as the gateway between the local FasCard hardware (i.e. readers & kiosks) and FasCard server (i.e. Admin site). Each active location must have at least one operational SAP assigned to it in order for this communication process to work.

Step 4 – Adding user accountsThe system operator will be able to add admin users, managers, and attendants. Any user who is given "Website Privileges" and has a suitable email address assigned to their account will receive access to the Admin site.

Step 5 – Adding equipment typesCorrect configuration of all equipment is required for proper reader to machine operation.
|
| |||||||
Step 7 – Configuring the price schedule and featuresOnce all equipment types have been configured, you can then move onto assigning all available prices and features for the associated equipment types.
|
| |||||||
Step 6 – Adding machines to locationsOnce all equipment types have been configured and pricing has been assigned, all that remains is adding individual machines their designated location. This is done by selecting the pre-created equipment type from earlier and assigning a specific machine number(s) to that equipment type.
