Task Manager Inputs and Actions

Inputs
174 Part I: Task Manager
Task Manager has a large set of inputs and actions.
To select an input or action
Click in the appropriate box in the Task list item area. A menu with several
submenus appears.
The menu shows you the input relevant to the context from which you
accessed the Task Manager form. The submenus contain all the other inputs.
You can select any input.
To obtain Help on a task's input or action
1. Click the task.
2. In the Task list item area, click the Help icon beside the appropriate box.
An input is anything that Task Manager monitors. When the state of that input
changes from false to true, Task Manager executes tasks with that input. IF
NOT tasks are executed when the state of the input changes from true to false.
Most inputs are set to true when the base station transitions to Run mode.
Many inputs read the state of a system flag. Select Monitor > Monitoring >
Base Station to view the current state of system flags.
General Inputs
General inputs relate to the general operation of the base station.
Another receiver in rack
The Another receiver in rack input is true when there are two or more base
stations in the BSS and they are responding to polls on the internal bus. This
input is useful in combination with other inputs as a custom input.
Example
IF Another receiver in rack AND Battery voltage low
THEN Go to channel 2.
Another receiver in rack and Battery voltage low need to be combined
as a custom input, and Channel 2 can be set up with an extra low power output.
This example could be used to provide an extra low power output when there
are two base stations in the BSS. It could be used in a standard configuration
used by all base stations in a system and would not be processed in single base
stations.
Base station in Run mode
The Base station in Run mode input becomes true when the base station
goes into Run mode. This occurs on startup and when you tell a base station in
Standby mode to change to Run mode.
Use this input for tasks you want included in Task Manager's initialization
routine, to start timers, and to disable base station functions that you only want
enabled under particular circumstances. You can also set a system flag to a value
other than the usual default.
