15 Test Panel
15.1 Introduction
The ePAQ-9405
(“ePAQ”) contains special “test panel” software that the user can
access through the front panel USB maintenance port (Port 1, connector J3) or
remotely through the Ethernet port (Port 5, connectors J6 or J7).
The Test Panel has security features, available over either the standard USB
connection or over a remote connection via Ethernet port 5 fiber or copper. It can be
configured through the QEI
ConfigWiz 2.0 software to require a user name /
password or support encryption over the Ethernet connection. See the appropriate
ConfigWiz 2.0 addendum in the ConfigWiz 2.0 user guide for further information.
Prior to placing a ePAQ into operation, the test panel can be used as a post-
installation checkout tool, to ascertain that the ePAQ is correctly wired to the field
devices. When used for this purpose, the test panel permits off-line (no connection
with the Master Subsystem) testing of status, analog, accumulator (pulse count), and
control points.
The test panel can also serve as a troubleshooting aid for the Remote Subsystem
hardware and/or firmware.
The test panel is designed to be used by qualified service personnel having a
background in digital telemetry and SCADA systems, and must be familiar with the
ePAQ, and its intended use as a part of the over all system installation.
As a pre-requisite the operator should have a working knowledge of PCs and a
computer and/or have thoroughly reviewed all documentation provided by the
original PC Laptop computer manufacturer.
