Setting Up a New MPM or BDS System
16-4
Location Name (required) - Type the name and address where the monitor is installed.
Location, battery, and string names are used with each other to identify the strings and
hardware to which the monitor is connected.
Note To change the location name after monitor setup, use these Setup|System dialog boxes.
If database names do not match names in the monitor, connection fails. Blank spaces or
hyphens can affect a name.
Note You cannot have two identical location names under the same customer name. Selecting
different locations changes the available batteries on the Battery dialog box. This location
name must match the location name in the database of the connecting computer.
Location Contact - Type the name and contact information of the person at the monitor
location responsible for the battery system. This name may be used for reports faxed using
Setup|System|Reporting.
Customer (or alternate field name) - Normally, this field is not changed. To move the
location name and related battery and string setup data to a different customer, select a name
from the drop-down list. This is useful when converting to a large SQL database where many
locations are under a few customers. By adding customer names (or regions, etc.), the data
becomes more manageable.
When finished, click Save or click the next (Battery) tab.
16.5. System Setup: Battery
String Status > Setup|System|Battery
The Battery dialog box assigns a battery name, cell and string parameters, and cell numbering
on the String View screen. Before completing this dialog box, confirm the correct customer
and location are selected on the Customer and Location boxes.
Figure 44. System Setup - Battery
CAUTION: Clicking the Delete button deletes all information for the displayed battery name.
All strings set up for the battery will be lost.
