Paging System Installation
Your
WaveWare Paging System
includes an encoder/transmitter unit, a “Rubber Duck” Antenna, a serial interface
cable, and an AC/DC power adapter. Refer to the diagram on the following page. To install the paging system,
perform the following steps:
1.
Attach the “Rubber Duck” Antenna to the Transmitter Unit. In normal paging operations, the paging
transmitter antenna should be oriented in a vertical position to maximize the paging range.
Note:
Do not attempt to operate the paging system without the antenna connected to the paging transmitter, as
damage to the paging transmitter may occur.
2.
Mount the Transmitter Unit as required to a wall surface, using the mounting slots. You need to remove
the front cover to install the anchor screw..
3.
Plug the AC/DC power adapter into the power connector, and connect the DB9 serial cable between the
paging system and the serial port connector on the back of a Host Device, such as a PC or an alphanumeric
paging terminal. If the serial port has a DB25 connector, you must provide a DB25 to DB9 adapter, which
is available from computer supply companies. Tighten connector screws. Please note that you may require
a null modem adapter and/or other wiring modifications to properly connect to host systems.
4.
Plug the AC/DC Power Adapter into a 110 VAC power outlet. The red colored PWR/BAT LED indicator
on the Transmitter Unit should be illuminated when power is properly applied.
5.
Program the pager database, if required, using WaveWare Paging Encoder Setup software, which is
available from the WaveWare web site or from the WaveWare Product Support CD
6.
If you are using a PC as a Host Device, load paging control software, such as WaveWare software, on the
PC and configure it to operate with your
WaveWare Paging System
. Make sure the proper serial port
settings are defined. The green colored TX LED indicator on the Transmitter Unit should illuminate
during a paging transmission. If the Carrier Detect function is enabled, you may see the green colored CD
LED indicator temporarily illuminate prior to some paging transmissions, if a carrier signal is detected
from a nearby transmitter at the same frequency as your
WaveWare Paging System
.
