3. Add Location Groups
If you only have one location then you can skip this section, if you are setting up multiple locations you may want to group your locations. Vend pricing is all configured by location group, if each location is to have different vend pricing schedules then they should be in separate groups. For some installs, there may be multiple groups with only one location in the group with the same name, for example 123 Main St location in 123 Main St Group. Start by clicking the Location Groups tab.
4. Add Locations
A location is defined as place where FasCard readers will be installed and connected to any number of Satellite Access Point (SAP). This could include a Laundromat or a laundry room in an apartment building. Reports will be generated based on location. Start by clicking the Location Setup tab.

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.
