OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SCOTT CONNECT
QUEUE Interface Accessory
DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT CONNECT QUEUE Interface Accessory provides a log-in interface
for SCOTT IMPERIUM Accountability System users that can be associated with
a particular vehicle (such as a fire truck) at an event where accountability of
participating personnel is required. By swiping a SCOTT Accountability System
programmed ID Badge, Tag, or Button, the ID’s of up to twelve (12) users
can be stored and downloaded to the Accountability System Base Station.
The SCOTT CONNECT QUEUE Interface Accessory is
ONLY
compatible
with an Accountability System Base Station that is using either a PCMCIA
Gateway, SCOTT P/N 200732-02, or a USB Gateway, SCOTT P/N 201088-02
with the IMPERIUM Accountability Software.
Resources who are not using a properly equipped SCOTT SCBA respirator
may be added to the system for accountability purposes by using SCOTT
Programmable ID Tags with either the QUEUE Interface or an RFID TAG
READER/WRITER accessory. Resources added this way will not automatically
be able to receive communications from the system. Special consideration
must be given to resources who appear on the system using one of these
methods. The Base Station Operator must verify that all personnel who
appear as logged into the QUEUE Interface Accessory are actually present
at the event.
When activated, the SCOTT CONNECT QUEUE Interface Accessory appears
on the SCOTT IMPERIUM Accountability Software Base Station Display as
the identification name of the vehicle. The QUEUE Interface Accessory then
downloads to the base station the ID information of all participants who
have logged into the unit. When these individuals are included in the event
activities, they appear on the Tactical Display Screen much like a SEMS II
PDA user, except that the user details such as Air Pressure will not display.
The SCOTT CONNECT QUEUE Interface Accessory can be placed up to
seven tenths (0.7) mile line-of-sight from the base station. When logged on,
all the SEMS II Personal Distress Alarms (PDA’s) Portable Units communicate
to the Base Station directly and/or through other logged on units forming a
communications “mesh network” to the Base Station. The SCOTT CONNECT
QUEUE Interface Accessory extends the range for the PDA’s by providing
another network location to communicate with the Base Station. Because of
this mesh network system, the signal strength of each user as displayed on
the Base Station may change as the network constantly re-adjusts to the
movement of the users. For identification purposes, the SCOTT CONNECT
QUEUE Interface Accessory comes factory programmed with an eight digit
ID number that will be displayed. This default number can be reprogrammed.
Refer to the UPDATE QUEUE Interface ID section of this instruction for details.
