Setting up a Spider for the First Time
NOTE: ADS strongly recommends setting up and testing each
Spider in an office environment prior to deploying each unit to the
field. This will prevent troubleshooting in potentially noisy and
hazardous areas and avoid unnecessary downtime at facilities that
require power or shutdown when tying in I/O connections. Refer to
Appendix D: Remote Access Configuration and Quick Start Guide on
page 91 for further recommendations.
Depending on the model, a new Spider must be connected to a
GSM/GPRS mobile telephone network. Please refer to Appendix G:
Connection to Mobile Network on page 102 for details.
Before proceeding, make sure that both the Spider and your
computer are set up with correct, matching network parameters.
Please refer to Appendix C: Local Network Configuration on page 87
and Appendix D: Remote Access Configuration and Quick Start
Guide on page 91 for details.
A new Spider is shipped from the factory with a default, generic
setup. You may wish to change this setup and customize the Spider
for your application.
Setting up a Spider involves one or more of the following steps:
1. Setting location
2. Setting date and time
3. Setting your username and password
4. Configuring inputs
5. Calibrating analog inputs (if present)
6. Scaling counter and event Inputs (if present)
7. Setting control names and optionally programming the timer
8. Setting up alarms

10. Setting up e-mail parameters (if e-mail option is installed)
