Note: Disregard this section if you do not have a 2120 interface.

This section describes the necessary steps to install and configure the 2120 Serial
Point Collection Utility (SPC 2120).

For further information, consult the following publications:

• Publication No. 574-097 – Multiport SLI Option Installation Instructions

• Publication No. 574-122 – Field Installation of the 2120 Multiport SLI Option

The SPC 2120 is designed to communicate with the 2120 in order to collect
point information. This information is written to a file for the 4120 programmer
to interpret for easier 4120 GCC point expansion.

Before you install the SPC 2120 software onto the PC, check to ensure that it
meets the following minimum requirements:

• 80386 or greater processor

• 640 K RAM

• Hard disk with at least 350 K free

• One 3.5” floppy drive for installation purposes

• One available serial (COM) port

• One 2120 Serial cable, to be connected to a 2120 Computer port.

Use the following procedure to install the SPC 2120.

1. Insert the 3.5” program diskette into your floppy drive.

If you are using a Windows 95 Operating System, open an MS-DOS
command window by selecting the Start button, then the Program menu
choice. Choose MS-DOS Prompt from the Program menu.

2. From the C:\ or C:\WINDOWS prompt type A:install and press Enter.

3. From the installation screen select I to install the SPC 2120 or E to exit the

installation.

4. The SPC 2120 installation program then asks you where you wish the utility

installed. The typical installation is installed in the C:\SPC2120 directory.

5. After a successful installation, the SPC 2120 installation program returns

you to the DOS prompt.

Introduction

Requirements

Installation Procedure

3-16

Note: A serial cable must be connected from COM1 of the PC to a 2120

Computer Port prior to running the SPC 2120 Utility.

To run the SPC 2120 Utility, type SPC2120 [/option] from the C:\SPC2120
directory. Typing SPC2120 without a specified option assumes a complete
download from Port 1. The options are listed below.

• /A - Complete Download

• /L - Update Custom Labels

• /P - Update Priorities

• /S - Update Suppressions

• /Nn - Port number; n = the port number (only used as a file reference)

• /H or /? - Shows list of parameters (help)

In order to perform the updating options (/L, /P, or /S), a matching 2120_N.SLI
(where “N” is the number of the 2120 node) file must already exist. When doing
these updates, the point information is referenced from the existing 2120_N.SLI
file. Then the specified update request information (/L, /P, or /S) is received
from the 2120 and compared to the existing information before writing a new
file. When doing a Complete Download, all information is received from the

2120. In both cases, the original file is backed up to 2120_N.SAV. If this file

already exists, the program prompts you to enter a filename.

Once the SPC 2120 command is entered, the program asks you for a job name.
You can type up to eight characters for a job name and press Enter. The SPC
2120 informs you when the system completes a successful download.

Before copying the SPC 2120 output file into the GCC/NPU directory structure,
rename it from “2120IOn.SLI” to the 2120 CMS file number without the
revision letter. For example, if the CMS file number is “W123456A”, then
rename the file from “2120IOn.SLI” to “W123456.SLI”. Before an update
option /L, /P, or /S can be performed, the file must be renamed back to
“2120IOn.SLI” for the SPC 2120 program to find an existing comparison file.

Before starting the SPC 2120 program, make sure all points to be copied to the
GCC/NPU are vectored to the download port. Only the points vectored to the
2120 download port will be copied to the output file.

Notes: • Print class 1 points are vectored to all ports and print class 0

points are not vectored to any ports. Points that were print
class 0 and do not need to be printed at the 2120 strip printer
should be changed to print class 7 and then vectored to the
download port.

• When running the SPC 2120 program, the PC should be
connected to the port on the 2120 that will be connected to the
GCC at runtime.

directory structure, rename it from “2120IOn.SLI” to the 2120
CMS file number without the revision letter. For example, if
the CMS file number is “W123456A”, then rename the file from
“2120IOn.SLI” to “W123456.SLI”.

• The GCC scans the new directory for a .SLI file. The GCC
learns this file name only once. Do not change the name after
the directory has been scanned.

4. Copy the 2120 dump file to the new directory. The file extension must be
.SLI in order for the 4120 Programmer software to accept it.

5. Return to the Program Manager and select the 4120 Programmer icon. The
system is now aware of the new port configurations and has automatically
added certain system, channel and transponder information into the
hardware configuration.
