The name of the configured technician (user) for this PDA is displayed at the top of the

screen.

The home page also provides a menu button in the top-left corner to access the program

main menu. To launch any of the home page operations, tap the desired operation with

the stylus.

Main Menu

The SMiRF application software provides pull-down menus to navigate

among the various functions. To access the pull-down menus, use the

stylus to tap either the word “Menu” in the top left corner of the screen or

the pull-down menu icon in the lower left corner of the screen, then tap on

a pull-down menu.

File Menu

The File menu offers access to common functions quickly. To access one of the

functions, tap it with the stylus. These functions are typically used to install and manage

devices that have not been assigned as tasks in MeshMaster; for example repeaters or

demonstration or pilot MIUs.

▪ Home

At any point, you may choose Menu->File->Home

to return to the Home Page.

▪ Install

To begin installing an MIU without a work order,

select Menu->File->Install. Some devices such

as MIU repeaters typically do not have associated

work-orders and are installed this way. You will

be prompted to fill in the data required for a

successful installation. Do not use the Install

menu function to install devices that have an

associated work order.

▪ Read

To read an MIU and store the results without a work order, select Menu->File-

>Read. Do not use the Read function to read devices that have an associated

work order.

▪ Service

For advanced MIU diagnostics and service, tap Menu->File->Service. The

Service operation allows technicians to check a remote device's radio, battery

and power status, and to perform operations such as software upgrades and

taking an MIU out of service (e.g. for shipping).
