Note: Do not save the default username and password, because it will be deleted automatically once a Master System Administrator profile is configured.

Configure the Unit Properties for the Host and Node(s)

Right-click on the word Host and select Unit Properties. Step through each tabbed page and enter the relevant information for your application. The Numeric Unit ID should be set to the Host's tele- phone number. Most Alphanumeric pagers work best when set to 1200bps.

The Host can synchronize its clock each night to a time server. To use this feature the RIM-600 must have network access to a server which supports one of the following: Network Time Protocol - NTP (RFC-1035), Time Protocol - TP (RFC-868), or Daytime Protocol - DP (RFC-867). Enter the IP Address of a Time Server which supports any one of these protocols.

Expand the menus below the Host by clicking the plus sign next to the word Host. Any nodes asso- ciated with the Host should appear. Right-click on the Node names and select Node Properties. Configure the Node Properties for each Node.

Configure Input Templates

Environmental input programming Templates are used to load user specified defaults each time a new sensor is connected to a Host or Node. By properly configuring the Templates before you plug in your sensors, you can minimize the amount of programming required to set up your sen- sors. To configure the Templates, click the plus box next to the word Settings to expand the options under this heading. Next, expand the Input Templates. This will list all of the different sensor types. Right-click on each of the sensor names to bring up the individual Template programming screens. An example is shown below:

Connect Environmental Sensors to Host and Node(s)

Once you've configured the Input Templates, connect your sensors. This will automatically load the template programming for each sensor. All sensors connect to the Host and Node via RJ45 con- nectors. This allows you to use your existing structured cabling for wiring sensors throughout your infrastructure.

Note: RIM-600 sensors are not IP devices and cannot connect to Hubs or switches. After connecting your sensors, customize the input alarm parameters for each sensor.
