Integrity Voice Alarm Routing Matrix

Communicating with the Integrity Mainframe

Once the cause and effects is finalised, it is necessary to send the configuration to the Integrity mainframe.

In order to do this it is necessary to enter the password in the Password field. This will be advised by SigNET.

When the password is entered a new tab appears labelled 'Integrity Config'.

In the above screen no link has been established with Integrity.

Connect a standard null-modem cable between the serial port of your PC and the serial port on the CPU.

Data is exchanged simultaneously between the Integrity mainframe and Integrity Editor and any differences between

the two identified. However, what is sent to the mainframe is an optimised form of what is in Integrity Editor, so

although it is possible to compare the Integrity mainframe program with the cause and effects in Integrity Editor, it is

not possible to decompile the information from the Integrity mainframe to recreate the Cause and Effects.

The buttons available on this screen are shown below:

Connect with Integrity (establish a link). This starts a data exchange with Integrity but does not send any

configuration data, unless one of the transfer buttons is also pressed.

Disconnect from Integrity (break link). When this button is pressed the link with Integrity is broken. If the cause

and effects has been updated on Integrity, the Integrity mainframe will reboot after 5 seconds.

Transfer all data to Integrity (upload). Use in conjunction with the Connect button to transfer all data to

Integrity. As each section of the data is transferred the appropriate box at the bottom of the screen will be filled in. As

the data is confirmed by reading back, the two red circles will turn green and the number of discrepancies between the

Integrity unit and the PC will reduce (eventually to zero).

Transfer 'Safe' data. Use in conjunction with the connect button to transfer descriptions (e.g. fault descriptions)

only. This data can be updated while the system is live, and will not cause a reboot when communication ends.

Get volumes. This button transfers volume level information received from Integrity (when the transfer all data

button is not pressed) into the current cause and effects. This can be used after balancing the audio on the system to

update the cause and effects field, so that changes will not require a rebalancing of the audio on the system.
