Allison Offline Authentication USB Dongle

Allison Offline Authentication USB Dongle

Setup Guide

The purpose of the Allison Offline Authentication USB Dongle is to allow Allison DOC® and TCM Reflash to authenticate with the 6th Gen TCM when an active internet connection is not available (offline) or has a low grade/poor quality connection. The Allison Offline Authentication USB Dongle is not required when online and logged into Allison DOC® with an Allison HUB user ID or Allison TCM Reflash user ID.
Note: Allison OEM VCP users should refer to the VCP User Guide for information. The VCP User Guide is located on Allison HUB under the Engineering > VEPS Tools menu.
While the Allison Offline Authentication USB Dongle is intended for offline use, an active internet connection and an Allison HUB account or TCM Reflash account are required to activate and provision the dongle for the first time. To request an Allison HUB account visit https://hub.allisontransmission.com/.

NOTE: Due to the small size of the USB, it is recommended to attach the USB dongle to a lanyard.
