IntraGuide Software
IntraGuide Configuration and Management software allows you to view multiple
Intraplex systems from one control point.
IntraGuide provides a graphic user interface (GUI) that makes it easy to:
•
visually check system status
•
interrogate for alarm conditions
•
monitor and log hardware and communications links
The program has an intuitive look and feel that pleases both the experienced
technician and the casual user. IntraGuide even works offline. Configurations can
be created in advance, saved, and imported later.
3.5.1
Online Help
The IntraGuide online help features both user interface help and Intraplex
equipment help. The online help is also context-sensitive and designed to provide
the user with all information required to install and use IntraGuide.
3.5.2
Getting Started
To load IntraGuide, run SETUP.EXE directly from the CD-ROM. This will
launch the setup program and prompt you through the remainder of the
installation process.
1.
To get started with IntraGuide, ensure that the cabling is properly connected
from the equipment to the PC (see Section 3.5.3 and Section 3.5.4 that
follow).
2.
Ensure that each of the channel cards are set to REMOTE. If the REMOTE is
not enabled, you can still read the setting from the channel cards but cannot
make changes to the programmable card settings.
3.
Launch the IntraGuide program. You will find the program located in the
Start menu under Programs
→
IntraGuide.
4.
Select Auto Detect Devices from the Setup menu. This will allow the program
to go online with the equipment and build an equipment list. Follow the
prompts for detecting the channel cards.
Note:
IntraGuide does not work with all Intraplex channel modules. To see the latest list
of compatible cards, look in "alphabetic card index" in the index (or under
"operations, system cards" in the table of contents) of the IntraGuide online help.
