Connecting and operating SmartGuard
SmartGuard is closely mated with the AADI Real-Time System. Setup of a SmartGuard system is done from a
connected PC running the AADI Real-Time Collector application. Control and data monitoring is also handled
there. More limited functionality is although available on SmartGuard’s front panel.
For configuration purpose we recommend to connect the SmartGuard to your PC via USB. However the PC
may be locally connected through a serial or Ethernet cable or through a remote connection of any suitable
type. In the default configuration serial and LAN communication is not enabled. To enable these ports and to
configure the associated communication protocol you need to connect your PC running AADI Real-Time
collector to the SmartGuard via USB.
NOTE!
When using an USB connection, you also need to download Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows
Vista, and Microsoft Windows 7) or Microsoft ActiveSync (Windows XP or earlier operating systems).
Windows Mobile Device Center and ActiveSync act as device management and data synchronization
between a Windows Mobile-based device and a computer.
SmartGuard has a colour display and a
keypad.
The user can view current configuration and
settings, view recorded data, as well as
performing recording operations.
CHAPTER 7 describes operation of
SmartGuard directly from the display.
