Creating a New Transponder Entry
The creation and modification of the Transponder Database requires special authority levels usually assigned
only to Installing Company personnel.
The button labeled "Insert New" creates a new Transponder Database Dialog, ready for entry of data.
The System Design Layout
Sheets prepared in advance by
the installation manager should
contain the necessary
information for assigning the
Transponder Name and ID, the
Com Port or Radio ID, as well
as the names and Multiplex
Addresses for all Receivers and
Alert Units connected to each
Transponder.
The Layout Sheets will also
contain the text to be used to
indicate the Receiver locations
and will designate the Alert
Units to be driven by each
Receiver.
Setting Receiver Parameters
If the Transponder Database already contains the Transponder the "Edit" button is used to allow completion or
modification of the data.
