9. Installing the software
Place the supplied data carrier into the corresponding drive on your PC and
start the programme called ‘Setup.exe’. Follow all instructions.
Once the installation is finished, start the programme in the usual way by double
clicking.
Detailed operation instructions can be found in the online
help, which is accessed over the ‘Help’ button.
The most important step is setting the serial interface to which the PC interface
is connected. To do this, press the button marked ‘Interface’ and select your
interface from the window which opens.
Before the alarm base station’s settings can be altered from the PC, the PC
interface must be registered with the alarm base station. This is done by
pressing the ‘Register’ button, after which a connection is established to the
alarm base station and its status is displayed. If a security code protects the
settings on the alarm base station, the operating programme will now request
this.
If the PC is to be used to send alarm signals by e-mail the programme must
be active on the PC. The programme should then be copied into the automatic
startup folder, so it is automatically started when the computer is switched on.
It is not necessary to register with the ‘Registration’ button for an alarm to be
triggered.
