Operation 5
Interfacing with the RF-B! Transmitter Controller
You can interface with the RF-B! transmitter controller using the Choreographer! network
manager or a service terminal. Both provide similar interface functionality to the RF-B!
transmitter controller, though the user interface is different.
Choreographer! Network Manager
The Choreographer! network manager is a software interface for voice and data
communications, used in the paging infrastructure. The interface manages and configures
network devices, including the RF-Audience! (RF-A!), RF-B!, and RF-Orchestra! (RF-O!) at
each station. For a complete description of how to use the Choreographer! network manager
to interface with the RF-B! transmitter controller, refer to Choreographer!™ Network Manager
Installation and Operation
manual, Motorola Part No. 6880492G07.
Service Terminal
The service terminal is usually an IBM
®
–compatible personal computer (PC) running a
compatible communications software program. Procomm Plus
®
is the recommended
communications software program; however, an equivalent program may be used. The
service terminal connects to the serial port on the RF-B! transmitter controller front panel (see
Figure 5-1). For convenience, use an RS-232 cable at least 10-ft (3.05 m) long with a DB9
connector.
The service terminal provides a command line interface with the RF-B! to access all station
parameters and functions using the Friendly Integrated Paging System (FIPS) protocol. The
FIPS interface is used throughout this manual for RF-B! installation, operation and
troubleshooting.
