Reporting Application Software User Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the Reporting Application Software (QER 08Q005), which
is intended for use in the ROC800-Series Remote Operations Controllers (ROC800s). This manual
describes how to download, install, and configure the Reporting Application Software (referred to as the
“Reporting program” or “the program” throughout the rest of this manual). You access and configure
this program using ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software loaded on an IBM®-compatible personal
computer (PC) running Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 2) or XP.
The sections in this manual are arranged to provide information in the order in which it is needed for
first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures, and the software running in the ROC,
the manual may be used as a reference tool.
The manual has the following major sections:
Section 1, Introduction
Section 2, Installation
Section 3, Configuration
Section 4, Reference Materials
This manual assumes that you are familiar with the ROC800 units and their configuration. For more
information, refer to the following manuals:
ROC809 Remote Operations Controller Instruction Manual (Form A6116).
ROC827 Remote Operations Controller Instruction Manual (Form A6175).
ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (Form A6121).
1.2 Product Overview
The Reporting program gives the ROC800 product family the capability to print any display stored on
the device. The Automated Reporting program runs at a user-defined hourly, weekly, or monthly
interval.
1.3 Program Requirements
Two versions of the program are provided. The versions use different point types, but are identical in
function. Only one program using a specific point type will run on the ROC at any given time. Load the
program version which uses a point type set that does not conflict with programs currently running on the
ROC.
The Reporting Application Software version 1.03 is compatible with ROC800 firmware ve rsion 2.11 and
with version 1.75 (or greater) of ROCLINK 800 software. The software requires you to install a hardware
based License Key.

Note: You must connect a PC to the ROC800’s LOI port before starting the download.

ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (Form A6121).
1.3.1 License Keys
License keys, when matched with valid license codes, grant access to applications such as the Reporting
Application program.
The term “license key” refers to the physical piece of hardware that can contain up to seven different
licenses (refer to Figure 1). Each ROC800 can have none, one, or two license keys installed. If you
remove a license key after enabling an application, the firmware disables the task from running. This
prevents unauthorized execution of protected applications in a ROC800.

2 Installation
This section provides instructions for installing the user program into the ROC800. Read Section 1.3 of
the manual for program requirements.
Note: The computer running ROCLINK800 must be connected to the Local Operator Interface (LOI)
port before you begin the download.
2.1 Installing the License Key
If you order the Reporting Application program for a new ROC800, your ROC800 is delivered with the
license key installed. Go to Section 2.2.
If you order the program for an existing ROC800, you must install the license key yourself.
Caution
Failure to exercise proper electrostatic discharge precautions, such as wearing a
grounded wrist strap may reset the processor or damage electronic components,
resulting in interrupted operations.
When working on units located in a hazardous area (where explosive gases may be
present), make sure the area is in a non-hazardous state before performing these
procedures. Performing these procedures in a hazardous area could result in
personal injury or property damage.
To install a license key:
1. Remove power from the ROC800.
2. Remove the wire channel cover.
3. Unscrew the screws from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) faceplate.
4. Remove the CPU faceplate.
5. Place the license key in the appropriate terminal slot (P4 or P6) in the CPU.

Figure 2. License Key Installation
Note: When using a single license key, install it in slot P4.
6. Press the license key into the terminal until it is firmly seated (refer to Figure 2).
7. Replace the CPU faceplate.
8. Replace the screws on the CPU faceplate.
9. Replace the wire channel cover.
10. Restore power to the ROC800.

2.1.1 Verifying the License Key Installation
After you install the license key, you can verify whether the ROC800 recognizes the key. From the
ROCLINK 800 screen, select Utilities > License Key Administrator. The License Key Administrator
screen displays:
Figure 3. License Key Administrator
Reporting appears in the Application Name column. (For further information on the License Key
Administrator screen, refer to Section 2.4 of the ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual,
Form A6121.)
After you verify that the license key is correctly installed and recognized, proceed to Section 2.2 to
download the user programs.

2.2 Downloading the Reporting.tar Program
This section provides instructions for installing the Reporting.tar program file into the Flash memory on
the ROC800.
Note: This manual shows the installation of Reporting-69.tar. Choose the program version that uses a
point type which does not conflict with programs currently installed on the ROC.
To download the program using ROCLINK 800 software:
1. Select any empty program number (in this case, number 1) into which to download the program:
