flickering in an on-off mode. If either malfunction check the AC power
source for the POWER LED and the antenna for the DATA LED. The best
approach would be to replace the CellTrackIT transceiver with another. If
that doesn’t solve the problem then check the power source by simply
turning the PC on and checking operation. The antenna check will require
attaching the HandTrackIT to determine if transponder transmissions are
being received.
Configuring the Node Receiver. The CellTrackIT transceiver will
automatically configure itself to function in a receiver capacity whenever an
RS232 cable is connected to it. The node receiver will be ready for use when
the power cord is plugged into an AC source and the RS232 cable is attached
between the receiver and the PC. The installer will, however, have to provide
aliases for each repeater for identifying the repeaters during maintenance..
Configuring the CellTrackIT PC.
• Hardware. Once the PC has power, plug in the telephone line into
the LINE in jack on the modem card. The system should already have
Windows software installed. Test the phone line by having someone dial in
from their computer once the CellTrackIT system has been installed and is
operational.
The connection between the PC and the CellTrackIT unit will require an
RS232 cable with 9 pin male connector on one end and a 9 pin female
connector on the other. This cable is included in the Node accessories
box.
• Software. Refer to CellTrackIT software installation manual.
Installing the Repeater. The CellTrackIT transceiver is designed to be
installed in lofts or roof spaces and not for external installation. When
installing the repeater write down the 10 digit serial number and building it is
associated with. This information will later be used for configuring the
network.
The unit must be connected to 115 V AC for it to operate correctly. The AC
power should include ground for proper repeater operation. When installing
the power source, ensure that applicable building codes are adhered to.
The repeater accessories box includes a 20 feet of coaxial cable for antenna
installation. The antenna should be installed just under the roof eaves using
the recommended antenna-mounting bracket (see Appendix 2). As in the
Node Receiver antenna, the repeater antenna can't be substituted for a
different kind. When placing the antenna, make sure that it is located on the
side of the building closest to the transponders it is servicing.
