How the Mobi II works and how to use it.

The Mobi II is a GSM device that accesses the Kazang platform via the cellular data network. It requires a Simcard with valid data or airtime to function.

When you switch the Mobi II on, it will automatically take you to the Kazang login screen. The Kazang application is preloaded on the device. The supplied username and password must be used to log in to the Kazang vending platform. Access to the different products is managed by permissions assigned to the usernames on the Kazang platform, so the user will only have access to relevant products.

Once logged in, a product list will be downloaded. This product list will be displayed as selectable menu items. Any of these items can be vented, depending on the funds available in the vendors preloaded Kazang wallet.

How to load the wallet

The vendor can deposit funds at any of the major banks (directly or via EFT) into the Kazang account. Each vendor is provided with a unique account number that must be used as a reference when the deposit is made. The vendors’ wallet will automatically be topped up as soon as the funds reflect in the Kazang account.

Banking details and the account number can be printed from the Mobi II device after the vendor has logged in.  From the main menu, select “Reports->Banking->Query Banking Details”. A list of banks and account numbers will print with vendor account number at the top.

Whenever a new version is available, the user will be prompted to perform an update when they switch the Mobi on and logs in.

1. Normal voucher reprint

After the sale of an airtime voucher, the voucher will stay on the screen of the Mobi II. There are 2 options at this stage: Exit and Print.

The exit will take you back to the menu screen and Print will allow 1 reprint of the voucher. When a reprint is performed, the voucher will indicate that it is a reprint and the Mobi II will revert to the menu screen.

1. Access to last 5 transactions for reprint

                In the main menu screen, there is an item called “Reports”.  Under “Reports” there is a   “Client” option. When this option is selected, select “Transaction History”.

                A list of the last 5 transactions will now appear. Select the transaction you are looking for and the voucher will be displayed on the screen. You now have the option to reprint the voucher.

1. Cash up report and Cash up reset

                From the main menu, select “Reports->Cashup->Cashup Report”. The Mobi II will print a list of all transactions that have been done since the last time the Cash up was reset. It will also show the balance of the wallet and the value of stock in the COD (Content on Device) bins.             To reset the Cashup totals, select “Reports->Cashup->Cashup Reset”. The Mobi will set all counters to zero and print the date and time the totals were reset.

Hotkeys

                Hotkeys are automatically configured on the Mobi II based on the “Top Sellers” list that can be accessed from the main menu screen. Hotkeys are used by pushing the relevant number on the number pad of the Mobi II when the main menu screen is on the display.
