Installing GPT transceiver channels

In order to use the ES80, the Processor Unit must be connected to one or more
transceivers, and each of them must in turn be connected to one or more transducers.
Each channel must be installed before it can be put to use. The ES80 also supports the
use of General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) transceivers. In order to use General Purpose
Transceiver (GPT) transceivers, minimum one Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) must be
installed first to handle the software license for the ES80 system.
Prerequisites
The ES80 is installed as specified in the ES80 Installation manual.
• All cables are connected and tested.
• Each transceiver is powered up.
• The General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) is not connected to the Ethernet switch.
• The software license for each Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) is installed and
activated.
• The Ethernet adapter in the Processor Unit is set up with a unique IP address.
• All relevant transducers are installed using the
Context
If you upgrade an older echo sounder that uses a General Purpose Transceiver (GPT),
you must add a Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) to the system configuration. The WBT
is required as a "dongle" to meet the license requirements. When you are using WBT
and GPT transceivers together, it is important to set the WBT with license feature "GPT
Control" as the top transceiver in the transceiver list. In this position, the ES80 will be
able to read the license.
The list in the upper part on the
of the transceivers and channels that are currently available. To change the order of
the transceivers, use the two arrow buttons on the right hand side of the
page. If you fail to do this, the ES80 will provide an error message stating
Installation
that the option for GPT is not enabled. The status for the GPT is then "Prohibited".
All recent ES80 software licenses for the Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) include
licensing for one or more General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) units. If your license is too
old, and does not support the GPT, contact our support organization for a new license.
