Connect MaxxTraxx to ProLink

Q. What are the preparation requirements I need to complete to get my MaxxTraxx ready to connect to ProLink?

Answer:

A MaxxTraxx user wanting ProLink must have both their TAMS and ProLink accounts set up at the store first, or when we go to get a ProLink account it will create an orphan number and will not work until we clear that orphaned number from the Electronic Ordering database.
