Quick Start Guide for Serial Port Programming
Your
SPS- 5
v9E Paging System should include:
1- Rubber Duck Style Antenna, 1- Power Supply, 1- Serial Cable, 1- Ethernet Cable, 1- Package of Mounting
Hardware and 1- Product Support CD. A Second RS-232 Cable is available for Purchase if Required.
Notes:
The Frequency, Cap Code(s), Watts and other Information are
“Labeled”
on the Back of the unit.
The
SPS-5
will
“Auto Detect”
the Encoder Setup Software for Pager Database Programming.
The attached Host System will usually need to send a 3-Digit Pager ID to the
SPS-5
Paging System.
After Programming the Database, attach the Serial Cable to the Host System that Initiates the Page.
Installation:
The
SPS-5
has Mounting Holes on the Back of the Unit for Wall Mounting.
Remove the Front Cover to access these Mounting Holes and use the Screws and Anchors provided.
Programming
the
SPS-5
Paging System Using Serial Port:
Note: The
Red
Program LED will be Lit when
you “Read/Edit/Program”.
Attach the
SPS-5
Paging System to a Laptop or Desktop Computer running Windows.
Install the “Encoder Setup v
9
” Program from the “Product Support CD”.
Com Port:
Choose the Com Port (Number) you will use and then Click on the Com Port Button to Open the Port.
The
RED
light next to the Com Port Button will then turn
“GREEN”
to show that the port is Open.
The Software will tell you that the “Encoder Database will now be Read” and you
MUST
click
OK
.
Note: You
MUST
read the Database
BEFORE
Adding or Changing the Database information.
Pager Database:
Click on the Pager “Families” Icon
(Far Left)
to Add or Change the Quantity of Pager(s), Add or Change the Pager ID
Number(s) and Add or Change the Cap Code(s) and Baud Rate(s).
The Function Code is
“Normally”
set to 4 for Alphanumeric Pagers and set to 1 for Numeric Pagers.
After Entering all the Pager Information click the
“OK”
Button at the bottom of the screen.
The Software will check for any Conflicts with the Information you have entered. If so, you will need to correct the
problem(s) and Click
“OK”
again to verify all Conflicts were corrected.
Settings:
Click on the “Settings” Icon
(In the Middle)
in order to setup the Communications “Protocol” for the Com Port used
with the Host System, and to setup the Ethernet settings.
In the Encoder “Settings” Screen, choose the “Protocols” needed for Communications with the Host System
along with the other Com Port settings as needed.
You can click on the Ethernet Settings button to edit the Ethernet settings in the encoder.
A
dvanced Settings:
The “Advanced Encoder Settings” were configured before shipment, but if you need to access those settings the
password is
maint
, (not case sensitive).
If you are not sure how to set the “Advanced Encoder Settings”, you can click on the
“Restore Defaults”
Button to
set it to “Factory Settings” and click
“OK”.
Click on the
“Program Encoder”
(Green Down Arrow)
Button to
Program
the
SPS-5
Encoder.
Testing
the
SPS-5
with
Pagers:
Click on the “Test Encoder Icon” on the Main Screen
(Far Right)
to send a “Test Page” to a pager. The Test
Encoder function should “reboot” the encoder into the protocol, baud, and parity that the encoder was programmed
to operate at. The status bar on the Test Encoder window should display the protocol, baud, and parity that the
encoder is currently operating at. The Test Encoder window should adjust to the features that the selected protocol
supports.
Enter the Pager ID Number in the “PIN” or “Cap Code” Field of the pager you want to test. (For TAP, PET, and
COMP2 protocols, using the Pager Families section of the pager database, a 3-Digit Number should be entered in
the PIN field. For other protocols, you may want to enter a full 7 digit cap code value).
Enter a Message that you want to send to the pager.
The
GREEN
“RF TX LED” on the paging system should light up for a few seconds while the message is being sent to
the pager.
You can observe the Com Port Log at the bottom of the screen to see the paging system status as each message is
sent.
