Collecting data from guard tour readers:
The BS-3000 is able to collect data from guard tour readers wirelessly.
Compatible readers include models BP-2002S, BP-2002-W, and BP-2002B-W.
Turn on the BS-3000.
Set the reader into the indentation on the BS-3000. For reader model BP-
2002S, please place its reading head between the status lights, and set its top
flush against the inside edge of the BS-3000.
If there is data that needs to be transferred from the reader to the BS-3000,
the blue LED light on the BS-3000 will start flashing rapidly, indicating that
data is being transferred. When the transfer process is complete, the BS-
3000 will make one long beep, then one short beep periodically every few
seconds, indicating that the reader connected no longer has any data to
upload, and should be removed. If you have another reader that needs to
have its data transferred, please place it in the BS-3000 it at this time.
If the BS-3000 makes three short beeps, it means that its memory is full, and
will need to upload to the computer before being able to collect any more
data from readers.

Remote data upload
When the BS-3000 contains data that needs to be uploaded, if in 30 seconds it
does not communicate with a reader or with the remote computer, it will
automatically start to upload over the mobile phone network.
If for any reason it fails to upload data upon the first try (for example, if the
remote PC has not been prepared properly, or if the SIM card does not have
sufficient funds, etc.), the BS-3000 will try again once per minute for three
minutes. If it fails after three minutes, it will stop trying to upload, and will only
attempt again when new data is collected or when it is restarted.
The primary guard tour software must be closed while the computer is waiting
for data uploads using the BS-3000.
When data is received by the computer, it will be indicated by a flashing blue
box that appears on the center of the screen with the number of records received
indicated. The number of new records received will be added to the existing
number. Clicking on the box will cause it to disappear and the record count go
back to zero.
