Overview:
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 as the Kazang application is already preloaded onto 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 through permissions assigned to the usernames on the Kazang platform, this means that 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 vended, depending on the funds available in the vendors preloaded Kazang wallet.
Connecting to a network:
The device will ask to choose your preferred network
- WLAN Network
- CELLULER Network
Depending on the network that you want to use (Cellular or WIFI) you can follow either of the steps below to get your network set up.
WIFI (WLAN)
- Select WLAN
- There will be a list of available WIFI networks - select yours
- Enter the WIFI’s password and then connect to Wi-Fi.
CELLULAR NETWORK
- Select cellular network, confirm with the green button (the device will now login)
If there is no credit on the sim card, no good network coverage or the settings are not correctly installed due to the removal of the sim card than the device will give out a retrying error/no response error.
- Poor network
You search for a place with a better network.
- Insufficient fund on the sim card
