partition elsewhere in the list, select the row that will be below
the partition you wish to add and click Insert.
d. Select a partition class from the drop-down list. (This must have
been previously created in Subscribers > Partition Classes, see
Step 2).
e. In the Start and End boxes, enter the range of channel ID numbers
for the channels that will belong to the partition.
f. Click Save.
4. Assign an appropriate service area for all TD9300 data terminals:
a. Select Subscribers > Unit Service Areas and then click Add.
b. Enter a name and optionally a comment about the unit service
area.
c. Select one or more sites and then use the Service drop down list
at the bottom of the table to select whether service is Allowed or
Not Allowed for your selection.
d. Click Save.
For system stability and traffic loading predictability it is recom-
mend that the TD9300 data terminal service area be restricted to
only the sites that it is allowed to use, as dictated by the coverage
and traffic planning. For system resilience/reliability the service
area for any individual TD9300 data terminal can be more than one
site as long as the system design allows for it.
5. Create two new unit profiles, one to assign to the SCADA master,
and one to assign to all TD9300 data terminals:
a. Select Subscribers > Unit Profiles and then click Add.
b. Enter a name and optionally a comment about the unit profile.
c. Fill in the fields in the page to configure access, timers, supple-
mentary data and call types (call types must include Packet data).
d. Click Save.
6. Add a new Fleet to assign to the SCADA gateway and data
terminals:
Make sure that you assign sufficient numbers to allow for future expan-
sion. Once a fleet is defined, it cannot be expanded. The only way to
enlarge an existing fleet is to check that there is enough room first,
delete the old fleet, then recreate it from scratch as a new, larger fleet.
a. Select Subscribers > Fleets and then click Add.
b. Enter a name and optionally a comment for the fleet.
c. Optionally enter the name of an administration group. If you do
enter an administration group then only users in the same group
will be able to view or edit the fleet and the units/groups that
belong to it.
