How to set up PRODA

Attention. You must have the security role StatutoryAdmin to view and edit the acronymPRODA settings.

You must set up acronymPRODA to make submissions to acronym taxi.

Set up acronymPRODA as follows:

  1. Register on the acronymPRODA website.

  2. On the acronymPRODA website, enter your Organisation id and Device name.

    Organisation ID
    Identifier for your institution, such as 9 9 1 2 3 2 1 3 4 1.
    Device name
    Unique for your device. Created by you, such as MyDeviceName.

    The acronymPRODA website then generates the following:

    Activation code
    Code generated by the acronymPRODA website, such as AB$AcA.
    Device expiry data
    Expiry date calculated from the moment the activation code is generated, such as 31/12/2027.
  3. On the Settings and then acronymPRODA settings page, enter the settings from the acronymPRODA website.

    On saving the settings, the acronymPRODA details are saved to the key vault, which initiates the key generation and starts the device activation. Your institution details, such as the Provider code and Provider name are shown with Your acronymPRODA device is ready. If your details are incorrect, contact acronym taxi.

  4. Check your device status, which is shown with an icon. The Device status table details the icon, status colour, tooltip, and description for each status. You can hover the cursor over the icon to see details of the status.
