Abstract: A service tool wireless access management system includes a wireless access interface and an equipment service system comprising at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to enable the wireless access interface responsive to a wireless access request initiated through a service tool, establish a wireless communication session with the service tool through the wireless access interface, and disable the wireless access interface responsive to a wireless communication termination event.

Abstract: A service tool credential management system includes a storage medium operable to store a plurality of instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to send a credential request to a networked server to access an equipment controller with a service tool. The at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to receive an access credential responsive to the credential request and utilizing one or more fields of the access credential during interactions with the equipment controller to enable a level of access for the service tool to the equipment controller corresponding to the access credential.

Abstract: A service tool function availability adjustment system includes a storage medium operable to store a location-based function availability map and at least one processor configured to determine a location of a service tool in relation to one or more equipment components of an equipment service system. The at least one processor configures an availability of one or more functions of the service tool to interact with the one or more equipment components of the equipment service system based on the location-based function availability map and the location of the service tool.

Abstract: A method and system for managing an elevator system, includes providing a recovery car to travel in the hoistway via a motor, and engaging the car via an attachment device of the recovery car.

Abstract: A service tool proximity detection system includes a service tool and an equipment controller. The service tool is operable to establish communication with the equipment controller of an equipment service system. At least one processor of the service tool proximity detection system is configured to generate a location proximity indicator to verify proximity of the service tool to a predetermined service location of the equipment service system, determine that the service tool is located local to the predetermined service location based on verifying that a response to the location proximity indicator matches an expected response, determine that the service tool is located remote from the predetermined service location based on verifying that the response to the location proximity indicator fails to match the expected response, and configure one or more functions of the service tool based on the location of the service tool relative to the predetermined service location.
