This approach allows producers to start their Precision Ag journey with a Gen 4 display and add the applications they want and need as they become more comfortable with John Deere Precision Ag Technology over time.
REMOTE DISPLAY ACCESS (RDA)
The ability to remotely view the machines settings, performance, yield, acres, and other information is highly valuable when managing or supervising an operation. It is imperative that the operators equipment keeps running productively and that the grower or dealer is enabled to provide remote support to improve the quality and efficiency of work while saving time and money. RDA enables an operator to get help with machine settings or identify a problem and receive assistance in navigating through the steps needed to resolve the issue.
Value in brief:
Improved confidence in precision farming applications for all operators

REDUCE THE RISK OF DATA LOSS BY WIRELESSLY SENDING AND RECEIVING DATA
Gen 4 applications and subscriptions allow data to be transferred from the display to the John Deere Operations Center for job reporting and analysis using Wireless Data Transfer (WDT) or Data Sync.
With WDT, you can manually send data to the John Deere Operations Center for review.
Data Sync automatically sends your data to the Operations Center, avoiding the need for manually exporting the data.
Wirelessly sending data helps you save time and money while increasing productivity. Wirelessly transfer setup, prescription, and documentation files securely between office, mobile devices, and 4640/4240 Universal Display or 4600/4200 CommandCenter Display, eliminating the need for USB transfer. This increases your uptime and productivity, reduces the risk of data loss, and enables easy data sharing and more timely decision making.
Through the John Deere Operations Center, you are in control and can easily share files with a John Deere dealer and other trusted advisers.
NOTE: For users in areas of poor cellular coverage, data can be exported using a USB flash drive.
LOCKOUT EQUIPMENT WITH SECURITY PIN CODE
Producers have asked for a way to better secure their John Deere devices from improper use and thefts. With the 19-1 software update, John Deere added an enhancement to the user interface of the Gen 4 4240 and 4640 Universal Displays.
With this solution, producers have the choice to enable the security PIN code feature and set up a unique four-digit PIN code to enable and unlock their device, similar to a mobile device. Enabling this code will allow only users with the defined PIN code to access the device when it powers on.
This feature has two levels of access that can be defined. An administrator PIN code must be defined to enable the feature and should be used by the farm manager. A second optional operator PIN code can be defined for usage by operators of the machine.
INCREASED CONNECTIVITY WITH 4240 UNIVERSAL DISPLAY WITH WIRELESS USB ADAPTERS
The 4240 Universal Display is compatible with several wireless USB adapters so that data can more easily be transferred to John Deere Operations Center. Wireless USB adapter connectivity enables Data Sync (Premium 3.0 or higher subscription required) on a 4240 Universal Display in addition to software updates and available subscriptions.
The wireless USB adapters listed below are supported with the 4240 Universal Display. It should not be presumed that other wireless USB adapters are supported.
ACTIVATE GEN 4 DISPLAY SOFTWARE REMOTELY
Over-the-air activations were enabled with the 18-1 software update to the Gen 4 displays. With that software update or newer, a John Deere dealer can send activations to a Gen 4 display without leaving the office. Over-the-air activations also eliminate the need to manually enter long activation codes like was done previously. This also eliminates multiple trips between the cab and the farm office to enter codes and verify completion.
NOTE: Over-the-air activations requires a current JDLink Connect subscription and Mobile Telematics Gateway (MTG). Planter and platform activations and subscriptions cannot be updated over-the-air.
