Preface - Teltronics SEB NET-PATH Installation And Operation Manual

Preface

This manual provides instructions for installing, verifying, and troubleshooting the
NET-PATH remote agent device.
The NET-PATH is a highly flexible, solid-state data-collection and events-reporting
device that you can use with a wide variety of applications. The NET-PATH is a
critical component of a larger system that usually consists of a computer, application
software, and one or more NET-PATH units. While this manual does not cover
specific applications, it does cover how to properly install and check a NET-PATH.
Before you can use the NET-PATH, you must program it with the necessary options
and parameters. This involves downloading a database to the NET-PATH. A detailed
discussion of the database and its interaction with the NET-PATH is beyond the scope
of this manual. This manual only covers the database to that point necessary for the
installer to ensure the NET-PATH functions properly.
This manual consists of the following sections:
Physical Description And Specifications: Details the specifications and
requirements of the NET-PATH.
Installation: Lists the requirements for installation, connector pin designations, and a

It also describes possible causes and actions necessary to rectify improper operations.
