Configuring the Wesroc® Mini-Base Unit to the Host Computer
With the completion of the initialization process, the Mini-Base must then be
configured to the Host Computer system to which it will be reporting. In order for
the configuration to the Host Computer to be accepted, a record must be entered
into the Host Computer for this particular Mini-Base. Additionally, this record
must be set properly to allow configurations. Please contact your host
administrator for these details and to receive the “Base ID” number. The
configuration cannot be completed unless the Host Computer has been properly
set up with the record for this Mini-Base.
Again, using the menu in the Mini-Base, select the “CN” function. This is
accomplished by pressing all three buttons at the same time then scrolling up or
down until “CN” is displayed. Once “CN” is displayed, press the “Mode” button
once. The Mini-Base will then display two question marks “??” while it verifies
that a proper telephone line is connected. If it cannot verify that a phone line is
connected, it will display “NL” for No Line. If the phone line is okay, the display
will change to “CF”. This indicates that it is okay to proceed with the configuration
process. With the Mini-Base showing “CF”, go off-hook with a telephone that is
connected to the same phone line as the Mini-Base. The Mini-Base will then
show “DL” for DiaL. Then dial the phone number for the Host Computer.
Continue to listen. The Host Computer will then answer the call and have a brief
interaction with the Mini-Base to verify that it is ready for the configuration
process. Upon making this verification, the Host Computer will say “Please enter
the Base ID now”. Following the verbal instruction, enter the Base ID provided by
the host administrator for this particular site. The host computer will verify the
Base ID and then proceed with the configuration. Wait for the configuration to
complete. The host will then announce that the configuration has either passed
or failed. Also, the Mini-Base will show “OK” if the configuration passed or “ER”
for ERror if the configuration failed. A successful configuration must occur before
the system will operate for any particular site.
Since, during the configuration, the connected phone line must remain off-hook, it
is important to remember that ambient noise can be picked up by the microphone
in the telephone. In a noisy environment, this can interfere with the configuration
report with the Host Computer. To minimize this, it is helpful to cover the
microphone during the configuration process.
