Setup
Use this function to configure each platform. Once you’ve selected this option, you are prompted
to select a data highway Id number. BCVision then lists the subsystem type and processor locations.
You can then specify the following options:
•
number of power supplies to be monitored
•
number of fans to be monitored
•
"other" options (Group, Floppy, Keyboard power; Speaker On)
Choose Setup from the Functions Menu. When this function is selected, BCVision determines the
validity of the software running on the IES. The BCVision software revision must match the IES
software installed on the IES. If there is no match, BCVision prompts you to transfer new software
to the IES.
When prompted for the data highway id number, enter the number (1 to 31) set on the hardware
switch of the IES to be configured. If this IES has been configured previously, its current setup will
display. Refer to the following screen illustrations:
Specify the number of power supplies that are to be monitored by the IES. You may select Power
1, Power 2, or both. No selection means no power supplies are to be monitored. An alarm is
generated if a power supply fails.
Specify the number of fans that are to be monitored by the IES. This field defaults to two. An alarm
will be generated if a fan fails.
Other miscellaneous options include:
•
Floppy Power: Each platform contains a flexible disk drive fuse. If this option is configured, an
alarm is generated if this fuse fails.
•
Keyboard Power: Each platform contains a keyboard fuse (or circuit breaker). If this option is
configured, an alarm is generated if the keyboard fuse fails.
•
Speaker On: Each platform is equipped with a speaker. If the speaker is enabled, it will sound
in the event of an IES alarm.
Scan Data Highway
During a data highway scan, the BCVision program attempts to communicate with each IES.
BCVision builds an internal list of all sensors found during an initial scan. If an IES responds, it is
added to the list; otherwise a communication timeout occurs and BCVision proceeds to the next
IES. BCVision will poll each IES on this list for status and alarm conditions. To initiate a data
