DEVIS Operator's Manual
Deployable Emergency Video Information
System (DEVIS)
DEVIS is a mobile, computer based system used to
display Microsoft PowerPoint™ Presentations over
CCTV, CATV, or broadcast video lines and
airwaves. The unit has two major modes of
operation—to display normal, user-designed,
presentations and to switch on user command to
emergency presentations. DEVIS is capable of
playing audio directly through it's line-in
port, and overriding with emergency messages. It
features telephone dual-tone multi-frequency
(DTMF) control for switching presentations,
switching audio source, recording messages, and
playback of messages. The system is also
controllable via Ethernet, making it a flexible device,
accessable throughout the world.

Appropriately trained personnel only should attempt any internal modifications, repairs, or service. CONNECTIONS DEVIS Rear Panel Overview Figure 1 Keywest Technology 14563 W. 96...
  • Page 3 *MODEM: Connect your telephone line to the modem port labeled “LINE”. This is mandatory for DTMF dial-up control of the DEVIS. If desired, you can connect a land-line telephone to the port labeled “PHONE”, which will allow use of the telephone while DEVIS is not being communicated to—it is also handy to have a phone attached so you can hear the ring, giving you...
  • Page 4 *NETWORK: This is a 10/100 Base-T LAN connector. Connect your DEVIS to your network via this port, to allow for remote control of the device. If you have DEVIS connected this way, you will need to set your IP addresses in the device. Factory default for the IP Address is: 10.0.0.100, and may be used on many intranet installations.
  • Page 5 DEVISFOL folder so that DEVIS knows where to get them. If you are going to import to DEVIS, then you will treat DEVIS as though it were any other computer on your network. Simply search for DEVIS from the originating PC, map it as any other computer on the network, and click &...
  • Page 6: Appendix A: Setting Ip Address

    DEVIS Operator’s Manual Keywest Technology Information Systems STORE PRESENTATIONS ON DEVIS Once you have presentations to store in DEVIS, locate the folder DEVISFOL on the DEVIS C:\ drive. APPENDIX A: Setting IP Address Figure 3 Double click on DEVISFOL to open it. There you will find four sub-folders for each presentation category.
  • Page 7 DEVIS Operator’s Manual Keywest Technology Information Systems Figure 4 Store your normal (non-emergency) presentations in the CURRENT folder. You may store as many as you like in the folder, and declare through the software which one is actually to play.
  • Page 8 Notice in figure five, the three .wav files at the bottom, SirenHazmat, sirenweather, and st51. These are the three sample wave files factory loaded in each DEVIS. If you wish to create your own emergency tone files, simply store them on the C:\ drive by importing or creating right on DEVIS.
  • Page 9: Playback Tones

    PLAYBACK TONES Alert and emergency tones may be played back through DEVIS by simply clicking on the appropriate TONE button (1, 2 or 3). DEVIS will play the .wav file you’ve selected one time. Figure 6 If you wish to stop the Tone prior to its completion, simply click on the STOP TONE button (shown in figure 7).
  • Page 10 (c:\devisfol\current\surrsample.ppt) as it is not necessary— DEVIS already knows the main path, and only needs the file name. When the proper name is entered, press the associated button to set the file as the loaded file. All seven buttons shown above operate in the same manner.
  • Page 11 The GPI’s are used to trigger an external switcher device such as the MegaHertz 1x8 base band video switch. This is to force all channels on your network over to the emergency presentation. Manual selection of the GPI will also force the switch to dump DEVIS video on all eight channels.
  • Page 12 DEVIS can be accessed and controlled via telephone, through DTMF. Dual-tone, Multi- Frequency refers to the touch-tones you hear when dialing a phone. DEVIS can start any of the presentations by entering tones from any U.S. system land-line or cellular phone in the world, as long as DEVIS is connected to a phone line itself.
  • Page 13 Defaults are shown on figure 12, and probably will never require adjustment. You may set the number of rings for DEVIS to await prior to answering the phone line. It is set at a default of one ring. If you have a telephone looped through DEVIS, it may be desirable to change the number of rings.
  • Page 14 DEVIS Operator’s Manual Keywest Technology Information Systems The DTMF setup form will display activity on DEVIS. The boxes shown in figure 14 indicate phone call activity and report digits received via DTMF tones. Figure 14 The DTMF form also allows you to set your own pass code, as well as codes to initiate a certain presentation.
  • Page 15 DEVIS at its installation. Step 1 is to enter the IP address of DEVIS in the block next to the DEVIS IP Address button. After that is accomplished, click on any button shown to actuate that command. With this LAN control software, you can change from presentation to presentation on-the-fly, without needing to push “ESC”...
  • Page 16 You may also reboot the remote unit if it appears to have any problems. The remote unit will start-up and begin to run DEVIS software automatically. In the bottom left corner of this remote application, you will receive a visual indication of the loaded computer’s IP address.
