ZbaseW Setup
The “setup” procedure to support communications between PC running ZbaseW and
ZlinkW and the paging terminal consists of starting ZbaseW and filling in the necessary
information on the Locations form. This form holds the information necessary for
ZbaseW to use ZlinkW to contact the paging terminal.
♦ Filling out the Locations form:
1. Start the ZbaseW program.
2. Select the Edit tab and click on the Locations button.
3. Click on the New button.
4. In the Site Name field, enter the name used to identify this paging terminal and/or
site.
5. In the Password field, enter the password used (if any) to gain access to the paging
terminal. This field may be left blank.
6. In the Phone field, enter the telephone number used to call the modem attached to
the paging terminal service port. If the PC is connected to the paging terminal
service port by means of an Ethernet network, use the Phone field to enter the IP
address assigned to the paging terminal followed by its 4-digit port number. In the
case of a direct serial port connection, this field may be left blank.
7. In the Port field, enter the port number of the PC serial port (COM port) used to
communicate with the paging terminal either by modem or directly. If the PC is
communicating with the paging terminal over an Ethernet network, this field is left
blank.
Running ZlinkW
Most of the tasks you will need to accomplish in maintaining the paging terminal can be
taken care of from with in ZbaseW. When working from within that program, ZbaseW
will take care of starting and controlling the ZlinkW program. There are however, a
number of commands that can be used directly with ZlinkW in command-line fashion.
You will need to access ZlinkW directly in order to use these commands.
One way to access ZlinkW manually is to locate it on the PC Start menu and click on it.
Manual access to ZlinkW may also be achieved from within ZbaseW.
Note For a detailed description of the commands available in ZlinkW, see
ZlinkW Command Reference on page 314.
