Phase 4: Install the DecisioNet Software and Hardware
Infrastructure
The tasks in Phases 4 and 5 are often occurring in parallel but certain
infrastructure tasks must be completed before the SmarTalker tags can
be installed at a site. Phase 4 consists of the following tasks:
• Install the CBS infrastructure (Refer to Chapter 4, “Installing the
Hardware Infrastructure.”)
• Install Electrical outlets for CBS power supplies
• Install the CBS power cable to CBS(s)
• Install the communication cable from the EPL controller to the
RS-232/RS-422 Converter
• Install the CBS(s) and their antennas in the ceiling
• Install communication cables from the converter to first CBS
and from CBS to CBS
• Load DecisioNet software (Refer to Chapter 5, “DecisioNet
Software on a Windows NT System,” Chapter 6, “DecisioNet
Software on an NCR UNIX System,” or Chapter 7,“DecisioNet
Software on an SCO UNIX System.”)
• Use the EPL Administration application Base Hardware
Configuration screen to define the hardware CBS, power supply
and receive antenna configuration. (Refer to Chapter 8,
“Configuring the DecisioNet System Environment.”)
• Test the CBS and RF infrastructure (Refer to Chapter 12, “Testing
the System.”)
• Accomplish site certification. For more information on this
procedure, see an NCR representative and reference the
Certification/Re-certification Site Survey Procedure (497-0410343).
