Installation

Components

The components in your R/F Terminal system will vary according to the configuration of your system. Your R/F Terminal shipment should contain at least:

•An RF Terminal T7001 or LT7001 - If the R/F Terminal is an LT7001 model, it will have an integrated laser scanner built-in to the body of the terminal.

•Serial Cable – for programming and voice prompt upload.

•5V Power Supply – battery charger with adapter cable.

•Utilities CD ROM – demo programs, DLL, and firmware loader program

If Base Stations were ordered with your system, you should receive at least:

•A Base Station (B5001) including a 5v power adapter for each.

•A Serial Cable (F34 or F36).

•A Relay Test Cable and junction connector block if ordering bases as Relay Stations.

Installation Sequence

1.Start with one Terminal and Base Station. Get everything working with the single terminal and base and then add other terminals, being certain that all terminals have unique Terminal IDs. After all terminals are working, add the first relay. Then add remaining relays, remembering to: 1) assign Relay IDs, and 2) set the jumpers of each relay to terminated or not terminated properly.

2.All equipment is shipped with the default setting of Channel 0, Terminal ID 0, and Relay ID 0. Unless you have other Terminal/Base configurations already operating on that channel, you probably don’t need to change the channel.

3.A Base and a Relay are the same product. A jumper change is all that is required to use a Base station as a Relay. See Appendix A for details.

4.Without attaching the Base Station to the computer, and with only the power supply plugged in the base, you can perform a site test to be sure you have adequate coverage and the radios are working perfectly. (See Chapter 4).

5.Now connect the Base Station to the computer’s serial port. Be sure to turn OFF all handshaking on the COM port used; in Windows, go to Start Menu, Settings, System, Device Manager, Ports (COM and LPT). Now run one of the RF Terminal demo programs found on the Utilities CD-ROM.

6.Now run one of the demo programs to validate that everything is working. If you have problems, refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.

Connecting the Base Station to a serial port

How it works…

The R/F Terminal transmits data to the Base station, which in turn transmits the data to the host serial port. The computer software reads the data coming through the serial port and processes the information accordingly. When the computer software running on the host has a task for the terminal, it transmits data
