and the Premier Base it will download.

To determine if a radio link is currently possible the Premier Base can

be put into monitor mode. This is done by running the PBase Activity

Monitor Utility program which can be found at "C:\Program

Files\Strt\Inboundwire\PbasMon.exe".

While in monitor mode note the Radio ID numbers on screen in the

PBase Activity Monitor program window, if the Radio ID is followed by

"wireless error" then the Premier Base is not currently able to connect

wirelessly with the mobile unit. Try moving the mobile unit closer to

the Premier Base. If the Radio ID number does not appear in the

PBase Activity Monitor program screen then the Premier Base may

not configured to search for the correct number of mobile units.

The Premier Base can search for up to thirty Radio ID's beyond it's

own. For example if the Premier Base Radio ID is 9000001 it will

search for the next sequential Radio ID of 9000002 and so on, up to

9000031. To save download time the Premier Base can be

configured to search for a limited number of Radio ID's.

To adjust the number of Radio ID's the Premier Base will search for:

From the Administrator click Shadow Tracker, click Maintenance and

then click Base Unit Configuration, the current setting will be displayed

there. This setting should match the number of mobile units that you

have.

If you change this setting it will only be updated in the Premier Base

after the PbasWcfg.exe program is run. The PbasWcfg program is used

to configure the Premier Base. This program is executed

automatically whenever you make changes to the Base Unit

Configuration and click the Set Base Configuration button. The

PbasWcfg program can also be found in the "InboundWire" folder.

Data flow through the system

APPENDIX 3

The Premier Base wirelessly downloads and stores the historical data

from the mobile units independently, without the need for a computer.

The historical data remains in non-volatile memory in the Premier

Base until a download is requested by the Shadow Tracker™

Professional software program.

When a download is either requested or scheduled from the Premier

Base the WirelessGrabber executes the PBase Data Extractor program,

which handles the communications and data transfer between the

Computer and the Premier Base. (above)

The PBase Data Extractor program downloads the data from the

Premier Base and writes a binary file for each unit, with a .BIN

extension, into the InboundWire folder then the Premier Base is
