As you know, when a SCRAM CAM® Bracelet and Wireless Base Station (WBS) are checked in without you having one or both devices in hand, you set the status of those devices to “Awaiting Return.” However, because the WBS continues to communicate via a wireless network with SCRAMNET®, the device automatically sets its status to “In Inventory” the next time it communicates, which requires you to manually change the status back to “Awaiting Return.”
With this release, the WBS will no longer communicate when set to the “Awaiting Return” status. Consequently, the WBS will stay in that status until you retrieve the device and manually change the status to “In Inventory” yourself, or 30 days elapses at which time the device status is automatically set to “Lost.”
To allow you to manually set a returned WBS to “In Inventory”, a new Move to Inventory link will appear on the client’s Equipment page when the device is set to “Awaiting Return”, as shown below. When you click the link, the device is returned to inventory and is removed from the client’s Equipment page.
