Installation
When the system was ordered, information that defined the architecture of the system was requested. This information
was used to configure the various devises and the CONNECT software. All that the user need do is install the devises as
described at that time. Make the appropriate connections between the CCS9000’s and the devises to be communicated
with.
In the case of dial-up and leased line versions, the necessary connections need to be made with the carrier lines. In the
case of private lines a line conditioning circuit will be required, Data-Linc Group can supply this where needed.
For radio modem systems, the antennas will need to mounted in the proper locations and cabled to the modems. It is
recommended that someone skilled in radio modem installations be consulted for this task. Remembering that the
antennas need to have a good line of sight between them for the radio modems to work properly.
In the rare event that any modem within a given CCS9000 needs to be reconfigured please contact Data-Linc Group
technical support for the procedure.
Operation
Once all of the required connections are made the system maybe powered up. Please refer to the software operations
manual for operational instructions.
General Operating Notes
The CCS9000 and the CONNECT software have been carefully designed to operate in concert with each other. The
system is completely expandable and may be easily updated as the connected equipment either changes or is
expanded.
One of the main design goals was to have the communications path be transparent to the equipment and its’ control
software.
One way to speed up the changing of ports within a given remote system is to have all the port speeds setup to the same
baud rate. The obvious trade off here is that the equipment that can communicate at a faster rate will be slowed down.
However, the time it takes to reconnect to a different port will be much faster. The user has full control over this.
