Software Installation
Run SETUP.EXE from the installation diskette to install the suite of Rollcall programs. Product code IQSPCR
contains the Rollcall Remote Control (rollcall.exe) and communications driver (commtrol.exe) programs.
Product code IQSPCD contains the Rollcall Remote Control (rollcall.exe), communications driver
(commtrol.exe), logserver (rolllog.exe) and logviewer (rollview.exe) programs.
On startup, the setup program prompts for an installation directory. The default installation directory is
C:\ROLLCALL. The set-up procedure will copy all the necessary files to this directory. Set-up will also create a
Windows Group called RollCall.
Depending on the product code of the diskette, Either two icons (RollCall and Commtrol for IQSPCR) or four
icons (RollCall, Commtrol, LogServer and LogViewer for IQSPCD) will appear in the group.
Overview
ROLLCALL.EXE:
This program allows control of RollCall compatible units. (IQ Modules, Supervisor, other S&W units with
RollCall gateway). Each unit has a ‘control template’ window for control of that device. The user can configure
the program for USER, ENGINEER or SUPERVISOR access levels with password protection. It can install
“template” files from new units automatically or by user request.
ROLLLOG.EXE:
This is the Log Server application that collects logging information from units on the network. Keeps a running
log file of every event received. Writes a current status file for configured units and allows the LogViewer
program to display the information.
ROLLVIEW.EXE:
This program displays the current status file written by ROLLLOG.EXE in a tabulated form. Coloured
conditions highlight warning and failure states. Can be configured for network access for remote monitoring
using share information from the LogServer program.
COMMTROL.EXE:
This program is called automatically by ROLLCALL.EXE or ROLLLOG.EXE and normally runs minimized.
Usually, there is no need to run this program by itself. This program provides the basic communications with
the PC card, serial comms ports or TCP/IP protocols. It also has monitoring facilities for data analysis.
