1. Introduction

Power and telecom cables often use the same utility pole. Telecom companies often lease space on poles owned by power companies (and vice versa). Telecom companies pay a significant sum to power companies for this leased space. Telecom lines are often moved and occasionally leased poles are no longer used. Pole Track allows you to inventory poles so the power companies are paid only for the poles actually used.

Pole Track Terminal

Pole Track operates on the Symbol SPT handheld terminal and uses an operating system based on the Palm III operating system. Pole Track terminals include some standard Palm III “organizer” functions, an integrated bar code scanner, and a GPS module.

GPS Module

The GPS (Global Positioning System) module provides precise longitude and latitude coordinates to Pole Track. The GPS module connects to the bottom of the terminal and uses an internal antenna to receive the GPS data from the satellites.

Tracking Poles

The terminal prompts for information about each pole and each pole attachment. The terminal stores the collected pole data and you then send the collected data to the Pole Track server. The server receives the pole data and it uses this data to update its master database.

Summary

Pole Track provides an intuitive and efficient way to track the poles used for telecom cables.

2. Kit Information

Pole Track kits come with everything needed to start tracking telecom poles. In addition to the complete kits you can also order spare parts.

3. Quick Start

The quick start section is meant to be a reference on how to use the Pole Track system. The remainder of the manual describes each step in greater detail.

3.1 Quick Start Installation

The Pole Track kit includes all of the parts needed to begin operating. Unpack the kit and follow these steps:

1. Plug one end of the phone cord into the

Line-In

port on the back of the

cradle. Plug the other end of the phone cord into a telephone wall jack.

2. Plug the Power Supply into the

VDC

plug on the back of the cradle.

Connect one end of the power cord to the power supply and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet.

3. Place the spare battery into the charging slot on the top of the cradle

(contacts down and facing the back of the cradle). Gently push – DO NOT FORCE -- the battery down until the charging light illuminates (leftmost light on the cradle). A red light means the battery is charging and green means it is fully charged.

4. Remove the terminal from the yellow Soft Case. Do not place the terminal

in the Modem Cradle yet. Press the red button on the terminal to turn it on.

5. Check the battery indicator on the top line of the terminal’s screen. You

should fully charge the battery before using the terminal for the first time (indicator should be completely black). If the battery is not fully charged then place the terminal in the cradle to completely charge the battery (about 30 minutes maximum). The charging light will be red if the battery is charging and green if the battery is fully charged.

6. After the battery has been fully charged you are ready to start setting up the

terminal. Press the red button on the terminal to turn it on.

7. Remove the yellow stylus from the back of the terminal. Follow the on-

screen directions to align the touch screen digitizer.

8. Using the stylus, tap the

* The model number appears in the battery well. Remove the battery and quickly note whether the model number says SPT1700-xxxxxx or SPT1800xxxxx. The x’s represent several different configuration numbers and are not important to this task. Do not leave the battery out any longer than necessary or loss of programs and data will occur.

3.2 Quick Start Handheld

1. Connect the Pole Track terminal to the server and download all of the

application related information (see “Quick Start Installation”).

2. To calibrate (align) the touch screen then follow the on-screen directions.

3. If a new version of the application was loaded then the terminal forces you

On/Off

Press this red button to turn the unit on and off. Press and hold the On/Off button to turn the backlight on or off. Use the backlight in low-light conditions but also remember that using the backlight requires more battery power.

Scan Buttons

The three yellow scan buttons activate the bar code scanner. Use the button that is most convenient for you (all three work the same way).

Scroll Buttons

The two scroll buttons allow you to scroll through lists, data entry fields, and sometimes between screens. Use the button most convenient for you (both work the same way).

Touch Screen

The main screen used to display information and enter data. Use only a recommended plastic-tipped stylus when writing on the touch screen.

Writing Pad / Keypad

Use the writing pad to enter handwritten Graffiti characters. Use the left side of the pad to enter alphabetic characters and the right for numeric characters. Graffiti characters are similar to normal characters but require fewer strokes (see Appendix B).

You can also enter data using a pop-up keypad. Tap the “abc” or “123” buttons to activate a pop-up keypad. Keypads make it very easy to enter special characters.

4.1 Standard Applications

The terminal includes several standard applications such as a phone list, to do list, daily planner, calculator, note pad, etc. Neither Verizon nor Hayton Systems support these standard applications. The Verizon server does not backup data from standard applications (you are responsible for backing up your own data). You can use the Palm desktop software provided to allow your PC to communicate with the terminal.

Many third party applications exist for Palm terminals. We highly recommend not

using these applications in your terminal. These applications could have a

detrimental effect on Pole Track and the system may automatically remove these applications during an upload to the host.

4.2 Scanning Notes

The laser scanner works best when held at an angle to the bar code:

If a bar code does not immediately scan then try moving the scanning beam from the top of the bar code to the bottom.

Moving the scanning beam through the bar code (especially “dirty” ones) gives the scanner a better chance to find “good spots” within the bar code.

10. GPS Check Utility Program

Use the

GPS

Check

program to cold start the GPS adapter.

GPS

ensures

that the adapter can use the satellites to provide accurate positional information.

Tap the

GPS

Check

icon on the Application Launcher to run GPS check. GPS

Check prompts to ensure that the GPS adapter is securely attached to the terminal, reminds you that the GPS does not function indoors, and cautions that the terminal does not time-out while running GPS Check. Therefore, if you leave the terminal unattended the GPS will completely discharge the terminal’s battery and cause the terminal to lose its program and data.

GPS Check shows how many satellites it can receive and the number of satellites that are usable once the cold start is complete. For example, it may display “Usable Satellites: 4/9”. This indicates that the adapter is aware of nine satellites and can use four of them for positioning information.

A status line provides progress information, namely,

Scanning

for

satellites

Normal

, or

Invalid

. “Normal” and “Invalid” indicate signal quality. If the status

is “Normal” the GPS adapter displays the Longitude and Latitude coordinates. The GPS adapter is then ready to use with Pole Track. If the status is “Invalid”

then the adapter cannot provide coordinates. Tap the

Application

Laucher

close GPS Check.

GPS Check also includes and Elapsed Time feature that displays the amount of time that elapsed for the cold start. A cold start can take as little as one minute or as long as ten minutes.
