Practical Theory Understanding System Installation Practical Theory 8 Understanding System Installation This section describes how to set up the BMDM program and put the MPM or BDS monitor into operation To install the MPM or BDS refer to the Installation Instructions manual then read this section before placing the system into service You should initially configure monitor settings on site through the front or rear panel RS 232 Local port during installation You may change programmable settings later New monitors have location battery and string names blank and auto call out and alarms disabled This prevents nuisance alarms and unintentional communication during setup The location battery and string names must be unique for each system known to the user and correspond between the monitor and calling computer for a connection to occur The MPM monitor loses communication with a locally connected computer during modem handshaking when a monitor calls out After connection normal operation resumes 8 1 Connecting Using a Local Computer The following describes how to set up an MPM or BDS monitor for use with a Local computer when a Central computer is being used off site To set up the system d you need more help refer to 1 Install the Data Menager a Local computer Installing the Data Manager BMDM Software 2 Set communication parameters for a direct connect _ Communication Port Settings 3 S
