DAS barcode ticket (= downgrading). Unlike Scan&Go PRO, BASIC IDUD can only operate in one mode: offline (= swapped-tickets mode also referred to as two-tickets mode). With this mode, the DAS USB desktop printer is mandatory.

Page 36 6.1.3.1.2 Connecting PROAdminTool with DAS IDUD We assume that your computer is connected to the DAS tablet via your LAN (Wifi or Ethernet). When you start ProAdminTool (PAT) and click on File you will see the following page with only three options under File.
Page 37 6.1.3.1.3 Modifying network settings While being connected to the tablet/controller as described above, you might want to modify its network settings. If so, select the tablet/controller and then click on Edit. You will then see its network information: By unticking the "DHCP" field you can choose your own values for: IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Dns1 and Dns2.
Page 38: File
6.1.4 File After you clicked on Connected, click on File and you’ll see the following: 6.1.4.1 Upload Click Upload when you want to update a connected CU5/tablet with the configuration changes you applied in ProAdminTool. This option is not available when modifying a loaded backup configuration file (without being connected to a controller).
Page 39 6.1.4.5 Change password As already mentioned in this manual, for security reasons any update of a connected tablet/controller using ProAdminTool, must be done within 5 minutes after reboot of the controller/tablet or a scan of the S&G Pro Identity. After these 5 minutes, the S&G Pro Identity must be scanned again or the tablet/controller rebooted or a password entered, before being able to perform a configuration upload.
Page 40 6.1.5 Settings This is what you see after ProAdminTool (PAT) redirected you to the Settings page. You now have access to the tabs Settings, Features&Licenses, and Program1&2. When connected to a DAS IDUD tablet, PAT can show up to 4 tabs with each having their own settings windows.
Page 41 In the unlikely event that a tablet would need to be replaced (for example due to a technical failure), DAS offers you the option of ordering a new tablet with the same DAS ID as that of the tablet that needs to be replaced (but with a new hardware number, of course).
Page 42 Offline/standalone/disconnected CU5 controller/tablets rely on their RTC (Real Time Clock) to determine their system time. Depending on circumstances such as the ambient temperature, their system time values can therefore deviate by an estimated 90 seconds per year. When connected to the internet, CU5 controllers/tablets automatically synchronize their system time with a cloud server, and then start synchronizing all other controllers in the same network.
Page 43 A data network link is not applicable for Basic IDUD. Neve tick this box. A virtual link is necessary for the function “Linked Printer” so that your Basic IDUD tablet would know from which printer controller(s) it is allowed to interpret tickets.
Page 44 The Credits principle is applied differently in the case of networked (Scan&Go PRO) or standalone controllers (Scan&Go BASIC). For networked controllers, Credits is valid for the entire group of controllers. With standalone controllers, Credits is valid for each controller separately.
Page 45 Validator does not check the validity (= rules and/or credits) of the scanned barcode. 6.1.6 Features and licenses The Basic IDUD can have up to two active features & licenses, depending on the mode you are working  Scanner: When this option is deactivated, the IDUD will generate access/exit tickets and/or discount vouchers when pressing one of the virtual push buttons.
