SmartAlert 8214/8205 Programming/Installation Guide 320124E Page 12
Follow the directions below for the SmartAlert
1. Attach the antenna to the BNC antenna port marked A1.
2. Attach the male end of DB-9 straight through cable to the female DB-9
connector located on the front of the SmartAlert transmitter. The PC requires
only a straight through DB-9 male to DB-9 Female cable. The SmartAlert is
configured as a DCE device and does not require a Null Modem cable.
3. Attach the female end of the DB-9 straight through cable to the male DB-9
serial port connector on the Host PC. If only a male DB-25 serial port
connector is available, you must purchase an adapter. This standard adapter
has a male DB-9 on one end and a female DB-25 on the other.
4. Note: All cables and the antenna must be connected before applying power
to the SmartAlert transmitter unit. Insert wall adapter into power connector
located on front of SmartAlert transmitter. Insert wall adapter into standard
110V AC-wall outlet. After a brief (15-second) power up sequence, the right
and left indicator lights on the SmartAlert transmitter will begin to slowly blink
in an alternating fashion indicating a ready condition. The unit is now ready
to accept data at 1200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit on the
RS232 port or input from a telephone (with telephone interface only).
