Setting the Date and Time
Choose Option 6 to set the date and time for your XPIQ module. This is used
to time stamp the events in the security log.
Transferring the Security Log
Choose Option 7 to transmit the contents of the security log via the XPIQ's
serial interface port. Using a personal computer and a suitable terminal
emulation program, the security log can be captured to a file for printing and
storing. Procomm and HyperTerminal are examples of terminal emulation
programs that can capture the log from the XPIQ.
Connecting the XPIQ to a Computer
You will need to connect the XPIQ module's serial interface to a laptop
computer to transfer the security log. The following Cybex cable components
are required for this operation:
Install a serial adaptor on each end of the category 5 cable. Connect one serial
adaptor to the laptop computer and the other to the XPIQ module. It does not
matter which adaptor goes to the XPIQ and which goes to the computer.
Transferring the Data
The data will be formatted the same as the XPIQ Security Monitor's log
window. Each line of ASCII text ends with carriage return and line feed codes.
The COMM port used by the PC's terminal emulation program must be
configured to match the settings you select with this option. Either accept the
default port settings or enter different values. Enter or accept the date and time
of the first log record you want to transfer. See below.
After the transfer is complete, press any key to return to the System Management
Tools Main Menu.
