2. System Operation
2.1. SAFECOM System Start-Up Procedure
To start up the SAFECOM SC9000 Base Station systems, follow the directions below:
1. RF2000 Radio Modem:
•
System power is applied by plugging the 18 VAC, 40 VA transformer into a 115 VAC/60 Hz commercial AC
power receptacle (220 VAC/50 Hz for non-U.L. international configurations can be used as the dealer’s
discretion). There is no power switch for energizing the RF2000.
•
Confirm power is applied to the RF2000 by observing that the AC Power LED is illuminated.
2. Star Micronics model SP-300 40-column parallel printer:
•
Turn system power on with the power switch.
•
Confirm power is applied to the printer.
•
Confirm printer is ready to accept text data for printing from the SC9000 Receiver by observing that the On Line
light is illuminated green. If the light is not illuminated, press the ON LINE button.
3. Compaq Deskpro 286N or 386S/20N personal computer:
•
Turn computer system and monitor power on with the power switches.
•
The computer system will go through a brief self-test.
At the completion of a successful self-test, the SAFECOM logo “S” will travel quickly down the screen, and the monitor will
display: “Press ESC to abort ST150 startup...”
•
Press ESC if you wish to terminate the ST150 automatic load.
•
The system will return to the DOS directory and the prompt “C:\ST150>”
will be displayed.
•
If ESC is not pressed by the operator, the AUTOEXEC will continue the automatic loading of the ST150 Receiver
Software.
•
At the completion of the SAFECOM.BAT start up, the SAFECOM SC9000 Receiver Start Up Menu will be
displayed on the monitor.
The SC9000 Receiver will automatically start polling all
Radio Communicators in the field to establish a radio
communications link. The SC9000 Receiver is in operation at this time. System messages will be displayed, printed,
and/or sent to the Central Monitoring Station’s Automation software if the central station is so configured.
The system is now ready for operator login, if applicable. No
operator login is required for normal system operation of the
SC9000 Receiver, radio
communications with all Radio Communicators, and interface with the automation software. Login
is only required when access to SC9000 System and Remote menus is required by an operator.
2.2. Operator Log-In Procedures
To ensure that access to the System and Remote menus is limited to authorized personnel only, the SC9000 Receiver
requires an operator entry of an authorized name and password.
There are five authority levels for operator access to the SC9000 Receiver: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. See
Entering and Editing
Operator Names and Passwords (F1=User Codes)
on Page 35 of this manual for more information on entering the
authorized system access operator names, passwords, and authority levels.
Login is only required when access to System and Remote menus is required by an operator. Access may be required to
monitor or edit existing Radio Communicators or add new Radio Communicators to the SC9000 Receiver.
