NET-PATHm Test, Incoming
Inform your Polling and Analysis Center that the NET-PATHm is ready to receive its
database. The technician there should verify the database contains parameters for
reporting fixed events, such as a change of state in sensor inputs. Use this capability
to verify outgoing calls.
Transparency to Host
Perform a transparency test to verify the installation. After downloading the initial
database to the NET-PATHm, the system administrator or a technician at the Polling
and Analysis Center should establish a transparent connection to each of the attached
serial devices to verify that communication parameters are correct. If the Polling and
Analysis Center is not available, you can go transparent to an attached host device
using the NET-PATHm Command Line Interface. See “Useful Command Line
Interface Commands” on page 3-5.
If a serial connection does not function as expected, verify the port communications
parameters in the NET-PATHm database match those of the attached host device, and
that the proper cable is installed.
NET-PATHm Test Outgoing
Create a fixed event that the NET-PATHm can detect and report. This event must be
defined in the database that the Polling and Analysis Center downloads.
1
Confirm with the Polling and Analysis Center that they received the event.
Additional configuration may be required at the Center before the received data
displays properly, but the Center should be able to confirm delivery of the alarm.
2 If the Center does not receive the call, see “Troubleshooting” on page 4-6.
Storage/Relocation
To store or relocate the NET-PATHm, unplug the commercial power and perform a
Shutdown procedure.
