Configuration Methods
Configuration occurs through two mutually exclusive choices: (i) the card's front-
panel interface or (ii) with TrafficDOT, the system management application from
Sensys Networks. This chapter includes the following sections:
Configuring Channels With the Front-Panel Interface
Starting TrafficDOT and Connecting to an APCC
Configuring Channels with TrafficDOT
Defining Sensor-to-Channel Mappings
Exiting TrafficDOT
Configuring Channels With the Front-Panel Interface
After completing the configuration of all channels, continue setting up the APCC
by starting the TrafficDOT software utility and defining the sensor-to-channel
mappings.

If the APCC is configured with TrafficDOT, this section can be ignored.
General Procedure
The general procedure for configuring channels via the front-panel is provided
below. Examples of specific configuration activities are included in the following
sections. The steps are as follows:
1. Select a channel.
2. Move dip switches (as required) to represent the desired settings.
3. Press the MASTER RESET button on the card front-panel and hold it down
