Gen3 - Selections - Change and Store Machine Serial number
The quickest method to change a machine serial number in Gen 3 display software
Changing a machine serial number in a Gen 3 requires a PC/Laptop, an SD card reader and the Windows 'Notepad' app.
Steps to edit the relevant parameters:
1. Turn on and boot the computer
2. Insert the SD card from your telehandler into the PC card reader
3. On the SD card, locate the file: data.cfg
4. On your PC, start the app: notepad.exe
5. Drag and drop data.cfg onto the open notepad page - image below represents some of what you will see.
6. The parameter that requires changes is the:
MachineSerialNumber=
A numerical value = will be entered/changed
7. Make the changes as required:
Example: Changing the serial number from 43212 to 97989
a. Go to the end of the number - 2
MachineSerialNumber=43212
b. Backspace until the number is no longer seen via the PC keyboard
c. Enter your new number
MachineSerialNumber=97989
8. Save the changes by selecting File > Save
Select 'Save' to save the modified configuration
9. Eject the SD card and insert it back into the Gen 3 Display
When the Gen 3 next boots up, the machine serial number will be as edited in the data.cfg file.
Do NOT change any other parameters within the data.cfg file. Doing so may introduce gross inconsistencies and negate the Gen 3 abilities to be an effective safety system
