System Installation and Setup
Once all the gateways and repeaters to be used on the system have been programmed,
choose
Commission TC550 Gateways and Repeaters
from the
Tools
menu in the
menu bar of the Config Tool.
Note:
Read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper commissioning of
the gateways and repeaters
1. When the
Select TC550 Network Interface
appears, select
192.168.55.1
and
click
Ok
.
2. Select which gateways and repeaters to be commissioned by checking or
unchecking the boxes beside each available gateway and repeater.
3.
Carefully read and follow the directions of each on-screen prompt.
4.
Note:
When the commissioning wizard attempts to communicate with each
repeater during the commissioning process, it may be necessary to press
Retry
10-
15 times before communication between the gateway and repeater is established.
5.
Once all gateways and repeaters have been commissioned, unplug their
power supplies and Ethernet cables, connect the backup batteries, and
replace their covers.
6.
Install the gateways and repeaters in their final locations and reconnect power
and Ethernet cables. See
Figure 5

550 System Transmitters
There are two methods for adding transmitters to a Tek-CARE
®
550 system. The primary
method uses the Event Monitor
software. By using the Event Monitor software to add
transmitters, less manual data entry is required since the software can automatically
detect identification information embedded in the devices.
The secondary method for adding transmitters is through the Config Tool. Though
useful for maintenance tasks or adding a small number of devices to an existing system,
TekTone
®
does not recommend using the Config Tool to add all system devices on
initial setup unless extenuating circumstances are encountered. Adding transmitters
in the Config Tool requires manual entry of device number, long addresses, and other
device information.
As transmitters are added to the system,
Device Numbers
(
Dev#
) are automatically
assigned to each transmitter. As transmitters are added, label each device with its
assigned
Dev#
and fill out the programming worksheet with all pertinent information.
Failure to mark each transmitter with its
Dev#
or failure to fill out the programming
worksheet will prolong and complicate installation.
