Cleaning
The 483 exterior can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Moisten the cloth with water and wring out prior to wiping the device.
Do not use solvents or cleaning solutions.
Background
The Mac OS X computer functions as a web server for
the tekmarNet
® Gateway. The web server creates and
maintains the gateway web pages so that any computer
with a web browser and a network connection can access
the gateway. This includes PC’s with Microsoft Windows,
PC’s with Linux, Mac’s with Apple OS X, as well as smart
phones such as an Apple iPhone
™ .
For applications where the gateway will be accessed remotely
from another computer, it is recommended to purchase an
Apple Mac Mini computer since it does not come bundled
with a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. A keyboard, mouse,
and monitor are required during installation but can be
removed once installation is complete. If possible, complete
all the computer settings, computer network settings, and
install the tekmarNet
® Gateway web host software before
installing the computer at the job site to eliminate the need
to bring a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the job site.
For applications where the gateway will be accessed directly,
it is recommended to purchase an Apple iMac
® (desktop
computer) or MacBook ® (laptop computer).
If using an Apple Mac Mini computer, it is recommended
to mount the computer to the wall using the H-Squared
Mini Mount available from the Apple store.
Installation of Computer
Wire the computer according the instructions provided with
the computer and the Wiring Brochure W483.
Computer Setup
Press the power button (found on the back of the Mac
Mini) and go through the startup screen steps. It is very
important that the computer username and password is
recorded for future reference. Should the username and
password be lost, the operating system must be reinstalled
in order to install any new software.
