Crown Equipment Corporation InfoLink® Data Retention Policy
Purpose. This InfoLink® Data Retention Policy (the "Policy") sets forth the retention period applicable to
customer InfoLink® data that Crown has possession of by hosting the data (as defined in the Master
Software & Services Agreement) or which Crown contracts with a third party cloud provider to host.
Types of Data Covered. This Policy covers electronic data obtained through use of Crown's InfoLink®
product that is hosted by Crown or a third party cloud provider at Crown's request. The data may be
operator data or equipment data specific to a particular customer.
Retention Period. Crown shall keep the data for a period of seven (7) years (the "Retention Period")
subject to the following exceptions:
Aggregated Data. Data that is aggregated and made anonymous by Crown will be kept permanently.
Data is considered aggregated if it is not identifiable to either a particular customer or a particular
operator.
Records Retention Suspension. Crown Legal may suspend the Retention Period by providing written
notice to both the InfoLink® Support Team and Crown IS. In such an event, Crown Legal will explain
what data needs to be retained and why (for example, governmental investigation or pending litigation).
Once the Retention Period is suspended, the data will be maintained until revoked in writing by Crown
Legal.
Live Data. While Crown shall keep hosted InfoLink® data for seven (7) years, live data viewable through
the website will only be available for the prior calendar year and year-to-date current calendar year.
Information older than the previous calendar year will be archived by Crown. If Customer requests data
that has been archived, a fee may be charged for Crown's time in providing the data. Access to the
website is governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Software & Services Agreement.
Additional Information. Questions relating to this policy can be sent to Crown's InfoLink® Support
Center, which can be reached either via email at infolinksupport@crown.com or by calling (419)

California Disclosure
Crown Equipment Corporation is committed to eliminating human trafficking and slavery. To that end,
Crown trains those individuals responsible for management of the supply chain and vendor selection on
identifying behaviors that indicate human trafficking or use of slave labor. All potential suppliers must
pass a rigorous evaluation before Crown will do business with them. Part of this process entails Crown
employees investigating both the direct supplier and the direct supplier's supply chain for human
trafficking and slave labor. Crown requires their suppliers to comply with all national, state, provincial or
local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. Crown requires each supplier to have a code of conduct
that includes avoiding the use of forced labor. Potential suppliers who fail to meet the established criteria
are not used. Crown does not end its evaluation of suppliers upon selection. Rather, there is continuous
evaluation of each supplier Crown uses. This includes unannounced audits performed by Crown
personnel at the supplier's facilities. If at any point a supplier has not met its obligations as laid out in the
supplier contracts, including the use of slave labor or human trafficking, Crown discontinues the use of
that supplier. Employees who fail to follow established guidelines are subject to disciplinary action up to
and including termination.

InfoLink Installation
The InfoLink installation disk provides an installation wizard that assists you
with the InfoLink installation process.
Note: Make sure you have administrator privileges before beginning the
installation to avoid errors or an incomplete installation.
During installation, you will be prompted to select a SQL database (MySQL
or Microsoft SQL Server). If you select MySQL, the installer will create a
database named 'infolink' for you. If you select Microsoft SQL Server, you
must create a database manually after completing the InfoLink installation
(see Additional SQL Server Configuration on page 14).
Note: If you select MySQL but choose to not run the configuration scripts

PM Schedules
Planned maintenance (PM) can be scheduled based upon actual hours of
operation, days in use, or both. You can view real-time overviews of trucks
with upcoming maintenance, maintenance due, and maintenance overdue.
Equipment can be associated to either a default or custom PM schedule.
Each PM schedule must have a unique name and contain at least one
interval type. The interval type determines how often PM must be
performed.
Intervals can be measured based on equipment hour meters or specified in
days. When using the hour meter, specify the number of hours that should
elapse before the next PM is due. When using days, specify the number of
days that should elapse before the next PM is due. If you choose both
interval types, PM will be triggered by whichever interval is exceeded first.

IO Settings
IO Settings refers to the input/output mappings for the pins wired on the
equipment. The IO mappings tell the module what actual hardware is used
on the equipment.
IO Settings should only be configured by trained Crown service technicians
and engineers. These technicians and engineers must reference the Crown
InfoLink Service and Parts Manual for detailed IO information.
Improper configuration may result in any number of the following:
• hour meters not advancing properly
• detection of an "idle condition" resulting in vehicle shut-down
• hour meters may improperly advance, causing inaccurate hour
readings

Meter Settings
Meter Settings are mappings of individual meters that are tracked by
InfoLink. Signals from the IO pin configuration are used to indicate how an
hour meter should increment.
Currently there are six hour meters to configure:
• usage
• hydraulics
• travel
• open wire detection
• presence
• work
• custom meter 1
• custom meter 2
An hour meter will only increment properly when programmed conditions

are met. Precondition is a state that must be met before conditions will be
taken into consideration. See the Crown InfoLink Service and Parts Manual
for more detail.

Manage Inspection Checklists

An inspection checklist is a paperless OSHA pre-operational checklist. The
inspection checklist provides a list of configurable questions that the
operator must answer to determine that the equipment is safe to operate.
InfoLink records the operator responses to the inspection questions and
records the duration of the inspection. You can configure inspection
checklists to notify other personnel depending on the operator answer.
For example, if the checklist asks if there are any leaks and the operator
answers yes, InfoLink can send a notification to the maintenance
department. Also, answers to questions can also lock out a vehicle.
Equipment operation depends on completion of the checklist.
Equipment is fully functional during the inspection time period. By default,
the operator has two 15-minute opportunities to complete the inspection
checklist. If the operator fails to complete the inspection checklist the
second time, the equipment locks.
Creating inspection checklists is a multiple step process based on the
number of languages configured for the location. First, configure general
checklist properties that control inspection time, expiration, and

confirmation messages. Next, create the questions along with the answer
options:
• Expected answer
• Whether the question is mandatory or not
• Whether the question triggers a lockout or not
• Order in which the questions appear throughout the checklist.
By default, every new checklist contains the same mandatory question: “Is
the equipment safe to operate?” This question is the last question in your
checklists. If the equipment is unsafe to operate, the equipment is locked.
If your location supports multiple languages, complete the master inspection
checklist first. Upon completion, you can add translations as needed.
Note: The standard InfoLink package contains 11 fixed questions. These
questions cannot be modified, nor can new questions be added. Questions
can be randomized and can also be disabled for a particular checklist.
The Confirmation Message feature is not available in the standard package.

checklist will continue with the next question unless question
triggers a lockout. If the operator responds with 'no', the inspection
checklist displays the same question for the operator to answer
again.

Module Firmware and WLAN Updates

Occasionally, the InfoLink modules require firmware updates. InfoLink
provides a means of updating module firmware and wireless settings. These
updates are loaded into InfoLink and then pushed out to the modules over
your wireless network.
Firmware updates can only be performed by trained Crown service
technicians and engineers. Instructions for updating firmware are included in
the InfoLink Service and Parts Manual.
WLAN updates can be performed by an InfoLink administrator. These
updates change the modules' wireless network settings. Use the InfoLink
Module Utility first to create a .ilmd file containing the new settings. Then
upload the file to InfoLink and apply the settings to the modules.

User Management
All users that are managed within InfoLink must be assigned a Role. These
roles ultimately govern how users interact with InfoLink.
There are two types of roles that you can assign to users: Web Roles and
Equipment Roles. These roles correspond to the type of work the users
perform. Web roles are reserved for users who log on and use the InfoLink
web-based software. Equipment roles are reserved for users who operate
the equipment that are managed and monitored in InfoLink.
Web Templates
Equipment users have specific procedures and instructions to follow when
interacting with equipment. Web users need specific permissions and
restrictions when using InfoLink. These permissions are managed in InfoLink
with Web Templates.
Note: You cannot modify web templates in the Standard InfoLink package.
Contact Crown InfoLink Support if you require web template modifications
to the Standard package.
Each web template grants different levels of access to the features within
InfoLink. The number of web templates you need depends on the number of
different web roles (types of web users) you have.
There are four levels of access to each InfoLink feature:
1. Delete
2. Add
3. Update
4. View
Delete is the highest level of access and has all lower levels of access. For
example, users with delete access to equipment can also view, update, and
add equipment. Users with add access can add, update, and view
equipment; they cannot delete equipment.

User Management
Default templates
InfoLink contains five default web templates:
• Template-Administrator Access
The Administrator Access web template comes pre-configured and
cannot be modified. Administrators are granted the highest level of
access to InfoLink. They are the only users who can manage
equipment roles, web roles, and web templates. The administrator
can create a custom web role with any roles.
• Template - DEF-TMPL-LOCADMIN
The LOCADMIN template grants users the ability to view all
dashboards, fully manage all users and equipment, and view all
reports. Users assigned to this template can manage all aspects of
operations, but cannot manage templates nor modify most settings
within InfoLink.
• Template - DEF-TMPL-SPRVR
The SPRVR web template gives almost complete access to InfoLink
with minimal ability for changing. This template also gives users full
access to view, update, add, and delete notifications.
• Template - DEF-TMPL-READ
The READ web template grants users with read-only access to all
InfoLink areas.
• Template - DEF-TMPL-VISIT
The VISIT web template grants users limited view-only access to
InfoLink, and restricts them from the management areas completely.
Users assigned to this template can view assets, certificates, alarms,
and reports.

• DEF-Web-LOCADMIN (location-specific administrator)

• DEF-Web-MGT (management)
• DEF-Web-SITEADMIN (InfoLink administrator role)
• DEF-Web-SPRVR (supervisor)
• DEF-TEMP-VISIT (visitor)

User Management
Each default web role is linked to a default web template (see Default
templates on page 82), which allows various levels of authorization to
different areas within the InfoLink software.
Note: Only users with web roles associated with an administrator web
template can add, edit, and delete other web templates.
Standard InfoLink users cannot make any modifications to web roles.
Contact Crown InfoLink Support if you require modifications to the Standard
package.

Equipment Roles
Equipment roles are the grouping of equipment users having a similar
function or position. These roles have different combinations equipment
rights. These rights are:
• Remove Lockout
Users can remove a truck from lockout mode by logging on and then
logging off of the module.
• Hardware Diagnostics
Users can run hardware diagnostics on equipment based on model
type.
• Reset PM/Maintenance Mode
Users can notify InfoLink that a PM has been performed. The
notification resets the PM schedule for equipment. This right intended
for personnel that perform maintenance on the equipment.
Maintenance Mode keeps track how long the equipment is out of
production due to maintenance reasons.
• Inspection Not Required
Users are not required to perform a pre-use inspection when logging
into equipment.
• Set Lockout Mode
Users can force the equipment into lockout mode at the module.
• No Certification Required
Users do not need certification to use equipment. (Only an equipment
location needs to be associated to the user for the equipment to be
available.)

User Management
InfoLink provides four default equipment roles with the following rights:
• DEF-EQUIP-ADMIN
Remove Lockout, Hardware Diagnostics, Reset PM/Maintenance
Mode, Inspection Not Required, Set Lockout Mode, No Certification
Required
• DEF-EQUIP-MAINT
Remove Lockout, Hardware Diagnostics, Reset PM/Maintenance
Mode, Inspection Not Required, Set Lockout Mode, No Certification

If you have several user records to input, use the upload feature to import a
spreadsheet of user records into InfoLink. Create a spreadsheet with the
required fields and save it as a .csv file.
Tip: You can use Microsoft Excel to create the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet must contain the following required information, in the
order shown in Figure 5: Sample user spreadsheet on page 88:
• First Name: alphanumeric; up to 15 characters in length
• Last Name: alphanumeric; up to 25 characters in length
• Employee Number: alphanumeric; up to 20 characters in length
Include the following information in the spreadsheet:
• Middle Initial: alphanumeric; 1 character in length

• Email Address: follow standard email address format; up to 50
characters in length
• Equipment Role: the exact name of the equipment role to assign to
the user; if unknown, leave blank to apply the role specified in the
upload filters
Note: If left blank and a role is not specified in the upload filters, then
no role will be created for the user.
• Equipment Login: numeric; cannot match an existing login ID; if left
blank, no equipment role or login will be assigned (this can be
assigned later)
• Web Role: the exact name of the web role to assign to the user; if
unknown, leave blank to apply the role specified in the upload filters
Note: If left blank and a role is not specified in the upload filters, then
no role will be created for the user.

User Management
• Web Login: alphanumeric; between 4 to 20 characters in length; if left

blank, a login will be created upon upload using the first character in
the user's First Name and the first 7 characters in their Last Name
Note: If a Web Role isn't specified, a Web Login will not be created for
the user even if a Web Login is entered into the spreadsheet.
• Location: the exact name of the user's location as entered in InfoLink;
if unknown, leave blank to apply the location specified in the upload
filters
Note: If left blank and a location is not specified in the upload filters,
then no location will be created for the user. Locations are then set
with the drop-down menu.
Tip: To enter multiple locations for a single user into the spreadsheet,
use a "|" (pipe character) to separate the location entries.
• Department: alphanumeric; up to 100 characters in length
Note: The department name must be entered exactly as entered in
InfoLink.
• Shift: alphanumeric; up to 100 characters in length

Manage Individual Users

You can add, edit, and delete users one at a time directly in InfoLink. While
this is not an efficient process for adding all users in your organization, it is
useful when adding new hires or specific users with specific roles or
permissions. The process for editing a user is very similar to adding a user.
There are three types of users in InfoLink: web users, equipment users, and
web and equipment users. The type of user depends on the role that you
select when adding the user. The role also changes the types of information
that you must enter for the user.
When adding users, much of the information needed is the same as that
used when uploading multiple users (mass upload). See User Data Uploads
on page 87for details about this information.

InfoLink provides several means of managing users' training certification.
You can upload a spreadsheet in .csv format that contains certification
information for multiple users, add individual user certification information,
identify upcoming training needs, and control how and when certification is
renewed and removed.
If the equipment is Crown CAN Based, InfoLink can control the performance
level of the equipment operator. An Operator’s performance level, once
configured, can be modified at anytime. The operator's performance setting
must be configured for each training certification (equipment type). All
equipment of that type will allow the operator to login at the same level
based on their certification.
If you have a number of certification records to input, use the upload feature
to import a spreadsheet of records into InfoLink. Create a spreadsheet with
the required fields and save it as a .csv file.
Tip: You can use Microsoft Excel to create the spreadsheet.

Instant Messaging
You can send messages from within InfoLink to the InfoLink console on your
fleet's equipment. These messages can contain multiple answer options for
the operator to choose from in response. In the Message Log, you can view
the messages that have been previously sent to the operators and their
responses.
Messages can only be sent from the InfoLink application; operators cannot
send messages (other than responses) from the InfoLink module. Only web
users with web roles that allow messaging can send messages.
For example, the Maintenance Department receives a notification that a PM
is due on a piece of equipment. Instead of the Maintenance Department
going to the equipment operator, the Maintenance department can send a
message telling the operator to bring the truck to the Maintenance
Department for a PM.
Note: This feature is only available in the Advanced InfoLink package.
