This screen defines detailed parameters for docking modules specified on the Hardware Setup screen. Available fields depend upon the module type installed. Available protocols depend upon firmware type.

Docking Modules

RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, T202 or T202F

Protocol Options:

• DCPF is normally used when reporting to a T/Mon master. Other DCP-type protocols would only be used in special application.

• TBOS may be used when reporting to third-party TBOS masters.

• E2A is used only when reporting to E2A masters.

• ClrChan is used only when the KDA is being used as a communications link into an external serial device. The external device is plugged into the primary port. All alarm reporting is through the secondary port. The Clear Channel is established by calling into the secondary port, which establishes a pass-through connection to the primary port.

This page defines the alarms, relays and expansion cards on a base or satellite board that will be monitored and reported by the KDA. Screens will vary depending upon hardware setup.

See section 3 for expansion cards.

Base and Satellite Units

Alarms

Description Any useful name that may be attached to the

alarm, up to 21 characters. This name is copied to KDA internal memory when connected to standard firmware versions and later, or Timestamp firmware version. It is used only in the T/KdaW program itself. If alarms are being reported via SNMP, alarm descriptions are obtained from this entry. It otherwise has no effect on system operation.

D-SW-709 UM00C.08103 October 22, 2001 www.dpstele.com

Page 18

BASE AND SATELLITE UNITS • SOFTWARE DETAILS

Normally Closed Alarms are essentially detected as

changes in the position of a switch. The KDA assumes that conditions are normal when a switch is open and triggers an alarm when it closes. In some applications this is reversed and the alarm occurs when the switch opens. Check Normally Closed if you have any alarms that are wired up this way.

Normal Dialout Dial Alarms if NORMAL dialup alarm

reporting has been selected under Edit Docking Ports - Secondary Port, alarms checked here will be dialed when they occur (they will also respond to any polls received on the primary port).

Backup Dialout Enable Dial Backup if BACKUP dialup

alarm reporting has been selected under Edit Docking Ports - Secondary Ports, alarms checked here will be dialed when they occur if communication fails on the primary port.

When Firmware Qual Time is the time period that an

alarm must be active before the KDA will consider it to be valid and start to report it.

Range and resolution depends upon Qualification Units.

Qual Units time units — tenths of seconds, seconds or minutes — referred to by the Qualification Time entry. Units apply to groups of eight consecutive alarms.

Use Alarm 1 If you are physically located near a KDA,

you can acknowledge alarms directly to the device. Wire up a switch(usually a push button) as Alarm 1, and check this entry to tell the KDA to treat it as an ack.

Activate Relay 1 When checked, closes Relay 1 whenever

an alarm on COS occurs and keeps it closed until it is ack'ed. This is often used to sound a buzzer, etc.

Type is Timestamp or E2A

for local ack

SOFTWARE DETAILS • FIRST TIME SATELLITE CONFIGURATION

Sat 1-2-3 Select the appropriate satellite that corresponds

to the serial cable connection. Only that satellite and any expansion card installed in it may be accessed through this connection. Then, plug into that satellite. This option is used for the initial download of each satellite in order to tell the KDA that it is a Satellite KDA and not a Base and also which Satellite address it is to use. This is accomplished after connecting to the appropriate KDA and then writing the configuration to it by selecting the “Write To KDA button (See Writing and Reading section).

Use Terminal N/A Server

To configure satellites for the first time, go through the hardware setup screens as described earlier in the manual. A satellite KDA needs to be told that it is a satellite and not a base unit. This is done by connecting to each Satellite KDA individually at its own front panel craft port.

1. Create a database specifying the satellite count. See Hardware Setup menu.

2. Connect your computer to the craft port of the satellite

3. Click the Connect menu at the top of the screen to access the Connect options window.

4. In the Connect To portion of the window, select the radio but ton of the satellite number that you are connecting to.

5. Click the Connect button to connect to the KDA.

6. Write the information to the KDA by clicking the Write to KDA button (See the Writing and Reading section page 2.25)

Repeat these steps for each satellite KDA until they all have been provisioned as satellites. Once this has been done, further changes cal all be done from the base KDA’s craft port with the Connect To radio button set to Shelf.

SOFTWARE DETAILS • TUNE MODEM • MONITOR KDA

Tuning optimizes the signal quality of the 202 tone modem interface. The receive level is automatically adjusted over a 20 dB range. A “pad” on the input can be set for an input range of -43 to -23 dB or for a range of -23 -3 dB. The modem transmit level is software adjustable and, therefore, does not require the unit to be opened. The modems are shipped from the factory with the transmit level set a t approximately -13dBm. The transmit level is stored in NV RAM, making it unaffected by power removal.

Tuning Procedures

1) Connect a Level Meter across the modem transmit leads. If the modem is not connected to any terminating equipment, place a 620 ohm resistor across the leads. (A resistor is not necessary if the modem is connected to a VF line or other terminating device.)

2) Place transmitter on Mark (High Tone).

3) Click the appropriate signal keys to achieve a desirable transmit level range.

4) When the level is correct, return to the monitor screen by selecting another tab from the Monitor KDA toolbar, or select Exit Monitor to return to the Connect to KDA screen.

Warning: Tuning a modem above

-2 Dbm will cause wave form distortion.

SOFTWARE DETAILS • CONNECTING • WRITING AND READING

Write to KDA

This feature transmits device properties in the current system record to the KDA. If a connection has been made to the KDA Shelf and satellites have been installed and initialized, configuration data will also be written to the satellites.

Read from KDA

This feature replaces the current system record with device properties retrieved from the KDA. A message window also appears, showing progress and any exceptional conditions that may arise. If a connection has been made to the KDA Shelf, and satellites have been installed and initialized, configuration data will also be retrieved from the satellites.

How to Terminate Writing or Reading

A write- or read-in-progress may be terminated by clicking Cancel. However, it is not recommended since it leaves the KDA with a mixture of two configuration records. Clicking Done after the write is complete closes the Write window and the system remains connected.

Writing and Reading

TROUBLESHOOTING • LAN TRAFFIC AND COMMANDS

ROUBLESHOOTING

Primary, Satellite, LAN Traffic and LAN Commands

Spy mode will allow examination of the protocol between a host KDA and its associated expansion card when being polled from the T/MonXM master. By plugging in a lap top or other DOS computer at the craft port you can view the protocol in either ASCII or Hexadecimal. This allows on-the-spot analysis of the communications between the KDA and the polling master to quickly isolate communication problems.

The query and response is indicated by the color of the data

bytes: the host data in green and the expansion card response in red.

Spy LAN Traffic and LAN Commands applies to expansion card. Spy Primary applies to primary docking pad. Spy Satellite to base satellite communications.

Notes: Spy modes work only in direct mode, requiring the computer to be connected directly to the craft port.

‘LAN’ here refers to communications between a host and satellite card.

LAN protocol is DCPF. Please refer to your KDA user manual for information on DCPF protocol.

See page 3.3 for screen definitions.
