7.3 Initial Connection
1. Ensure all Repeaters and Sensors are within the radio coverage of the Access Point
2. Connect to the Access Point using the TrafficDot application: If this is the first
connection then the default IP address for all Access Points is 192.168.2.100, Subnet
mask: 255.255.255.0
3. If this is the first configuration of the access point – the user will be asked if the access
point should be set to 'Master Mode'. The user should select the access point and set
to 'Master Mode'.
4. Activate TrafficDot's Advanced Mode. It must be active during initial system
configuration to allow colour codes to be selected. Click Advanced on the main
toolbar, followed by Set Advanced Mode... to enable.
5. The junction design is to be uploaded to the access point and appear as a map image
on which devices can be placed. This helps to ensure that the junction design and the
system configuration match up correctly. Designs to be uploaded to the access point
must be in PNG, JPEG OR GIF picture format and no more than 80kb for correct
operation.
6. Created lanes and devices should then be placed on the map image to match their
placement within the junction design. These added map elements are to be named as
dictated by the junction design/configuration sheet (reference section Error!
Reference source not found.).
7. Lanes and available devices should appear within TrafficDot's Main Display when
Map view is selected.
7.3.1
Repeater Configuration
The following steps should be applied to each applicable repeater.
1. Selecting a repeater within TrafficDot will open the Repeater Config Window.
'Upstream Channel', 'Downstream Channel' and 'Colour Code' are to be copied
directly from the junction configuration spreadsheet to the Config tab within this
window. All other repeater settings are to be left unchanged.
'Upstream' is normally set as per the access point (AP) and downstream will be the
channel set for repeater to sensor communications. Note, the two channels are not to
be set to the same value.
7.3.2
Vehicle Sensor Configuration
The following steps should be repeated for each sensor.
1. Selecting a sensor within TrafficDot opens the Sensor Config Window. The junction
configuration spreadsheet will denote the 'Name', 'Description' and 'Colour Code' for
each sensor. Any special settings attributed with individual sensors will also be noted
within the configuration spreadsheet.
2. Check Sensor Mode: The mode of operation for each sensor can be selected within
the Cmds tab of the Sensor Config Window. By default, all sensors should be set to
'B (Count)'. This should only be changed if specifically noted within the junction
configuration spreadsheet.
3. Set Sensor RF Channel: The sensor Radio Frequency channel is also selectable
within the Cmds tab of the Sensor Config Window. Channels should be set as
specified within the junction configuration spreadsheet.
