Chapter 1
Installing Hardware
Components
Introduction
The basic components of the system consist of the Central Server, the Gateway, the Router and the
transceiver devices. The Central Server is a RF Technologies configured computer that runs the software. It
contains the database and provides communication with the devices in the system.
Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client computers. The Client computers
allow the user to perform such functions as admitting, discharging, and clearing alarms. Each Client
computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur on a floor plan of the facility.
This chapter provides detailed information about setting up the Central Server and installing hardware
components to use in conjunction with the software. It also provides an Installation Checklist to assist with
the installation process.
