Section 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
Thank you for selecting the EDI Data Aggregator, DA-400™ to address your remote
intersection connectivity, VPN, and traffic data collection requirements. This manual is
provided to give you the information needed to conduct a successful installation of the DA-
400™ into a traffic signal controller cabinet. This device will work with all North American
cabinet types and controller manufacturers, and will also work with many international
controller and cabinet types. Depending on the type of cabinet in which the Data
Aggregation device is installed, there will be some wires within the harness that will not
need to be connected. Those wires can be removed from the iCITE
®
DA-400™ wiring
harnesses if desired and stored for potential later installation and utilization if needed.
The iCITE
®
DA-400™ is designed to provide comprehensive information about the
operational health and status of the traffic control cabinet and to allow remote
communications and connectivity from the traffic controller cabinet and its associated
components to an
iCITE
READY
®
Web-based user interface and display. The local unit
and web-based configuration software is called
iCITE G2
®
(
Intelligent Cabinet Interface
to Traffic Equipment
), and is capable of communicating with as many units as are
installed and connected to the system. This
iCITE G2
®
is accessible through an
administrator-issued user name and password, wherever there is internet connectivity
available. Information provided through the local Ethernet interface, the cellular connection
and on
iCITE G2
®
can be viewed on any browser; however, Google Chrome is the web
browser recommended. The DA-400™, along with an
iCITE READY
®
data analytics
partner, is also capable of collecting and transmitting the raw data needed to provide
comprehensive travel time information and route analytics. VPN capabilities and the ability
to act as a replacement for an On-Street Master are also provided. This manual will provide
a step-by-step process of installing, connecting and configuring the DA-400™ and its
associated wiring harnesses into the traffic cabinet. There is also a required 5-band
antenna that will need to be installed and connected onto the top exterior of the traffic
cabinet.
