New User Information

Please take the time to thoroughly read the entire page so that you have a better understanding of how the system works.

This page assumes you are new to the concept of networked vending systems in general (not just CasperLet), and explains some of the concepts, as well as the basic setup steps.

About the DropBox


The dropbox handles notecards and landmarks for your rentals. Notecards are given in two situations: (1) when a user clicks for "info", and (2) when a tenant pays for a rental.

One dropbox PER system owner is required. Having duplicate(s) on at least one additional sim is very recommended to work around the sim communication issues that the Lab still needs to fix.

See the page for full details and explanations.

About the Units page


The Units page is also frequently called the "bulk" or "global settings" page, and also is the page referred to when you see "bulk setup". This page controls the base configuration for all of your rental units.

If you have any units that will have a different configuration than the default, they will need to be configured on a per-unit basis.

CasperLet currently does not support "rental profiles" for rental units. (A suggestion ticket is in the queue for it, however, and it is expected to be added at some point in the future.)

Creating your CasperLet Account


See the CasperLet account creation section.

Other Terminology


Please remember "Sign" is not another word for rental unit, and you WILL confuse the support staff if you refer to a rental unit as a sign.

There is an actual sign object in the CasperLet shipping crate that can be used WITH a rental - but it is not a rental unit by itself, and must be linked TO a rental unit.

Rental Unit Versions


All documentation going forward assumes that all rental units are version 1.31 or later.

Unit versions 1.2x and earlier are no longer supported. If you have older versions out, you must update them to the current version in order to receive techical support. Simply redeliver the CasperLet crate to receive an updated UpgradeBee - an older Bee will not have the current version of the script.

Setup Limitation


Currently CasperLet does not support rental profiles. If you have 2 or more "base configuration sets" (that are dependent on the rental), you will still need to choose one as the default, and change the rest individually - this will be using the "bulk + individual" section below.

A suggestion ticket is in the queue to add rental profile functionality.


Quick Start Sections

  • If all of your rental units will use the same base configuration, follow the instructions in "bulk setup" section.
  • If SOME of your rental units will use the same base config, but you will have SOME units with different settings, use the "Bulk + individual setup" section.
  • If all of your rental units will use different configurations, use the "individual setup" section below.


Bulk Setup

1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate


2) Rez one rental unit PER RENTAL


Manager handling your setup?


Rez out all the units that are needed - or drag-copy as many as you need - NOW before the configuration process begins!


3) Grant debit permissions


4) Recognize rented state changes?


5) Go to CasperLet website and log in



Bulk + Individual Setup

1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate


2) Rez one rental unit PER RENTAL


Manager handling your setup?


Rez out all the units that are needed - or drag-copy as many as you need - NOW before the configuration process begins!


3) Grant debit permissions


4) Recognize rented state changes?


5) Go to CasperLet website and log in



Individual Setup

1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate


2) Rez one rental unit PER RENTAL


3) Grant debit permissions


4) Recognize rented state changes?


5) Go to CasperLet website and log in



How do I....?


  * Transfer a tenant from one unit to another
  * Set discounts
    -- No per-person discounts; but suggestion is in queue
  * Set states
  * Get units to RECOGNIZE state changes
  * Properly add a manager
  * Link transporter to units
