Setup of the GO-Box
Here's how the GO-Box is setup
The GO-Box is very simple: It has a button on the outside, two light indicators and a mini loudspeaker. With these, you can check the functionality or change the settings of the number of axles. Acoustic signals inform you when the toll has been paid.
