4. Getting Started
A. Logging In
Once you have completed installation and have restarted your computer, select
Talk-A-Lert Base Station from the Start -> Programs menu. When you start the
Talk-A-Lert base station you are prompted for a user ID. The default user ID is Admin
with no password. Your first time logging in, you will be asked to change the Admin
password for security purposes.
After logging in, we strongly recommended that you create u ser ID’s for the other users
of the system and set their security permissions appropriately (see administration).
B. Conversion
In order to convert your database from Talk-A-Lert 2.5.3 or earlier, the file must be
named tapdata.dbf. If it is not so named, rename the file.
Under the Administration menu, select Conversion. Either type the path of your old
database, or browse to find the location. When you have the correct path entered, hit
the Convert button.
