SET UP THE PC–NC369 NETWORK
As shipped, the NC369 Pager Transmitter will not work with
your TekTone®nurse call or wireless emergency system—
you must configure it. Use a PC that has an Ethernet port
and a browser (such as Internet Explorer). Disconnect this
PC from any other network.
1. Connect the power cord to the Power 12V DC jack on the
backof the NC369, andthen plug it into a wall outlet.Check
that the power LED is on and the busy LED has turned off
afterinitializing.
2. Connect one end of the red crossover Ethernet cable (RJ45
to RJ45) to the Ethernet port on the back of the NC369.
Connect the other end to the PC’s Ethernet port.
3. Insert the Fusion Series CD included with your NC369
Pager Transmitter into the PC, and run the IPDiscover
program in the Tools folder. The IPDiscover program will
display the IP Address of your NC369 Pager Transmitter.
Record your NC369 Pager Transmitter ’s IP Address here:
NC369’s IP Address:______._______. ______. ______
|––––––– SUBNET –––––––| HOST # |
4. Set your PC’s IP Address to be on the same subnet as the
NC369, but a different host number. (The first three groups
of numbers are the subnet; the last group of numbers is the
host number, and is between 0–255.)
PC’s IP Address:______. ______. ______. ______
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Access the PC’s IP Address settings via Start | Settings
| Control Panel | Network Connections. The prompts
may vary, depending upon the version of Windows®
used. Use the settings shown above to modify an existing
network connection, or to create a new network connec-
tion (choose manual configuration when prompted).
5. Start Internet Explorer. It can usually be found via Start |
Programs | Internet Explorer.
6. In the address field of the Internet Explorer window, type
in the IP Address of the NC369 Paging Transmitter and
press ENTER. This welcome screen will appear:
NC369 CONFIG TOOL SETTINGS
Using the Config Tool:
• Clicking on one of the menu buttons on the left first brings
up an authorization window. Type maint for the user
name; leave the password blank.
• In the descriptions of the menu items below, items that
must be changed to enable the NC369 Paging Transmitter
to work with your TekTone®system are marked with an Â
or Î(arrow), and new settings are shown in italics.
• The SAVE button at the bottom of each menu page saves
and commits the changes to that menu page. The UNDO
button reverts all on-screen field values to those last
saved. Clicking on a menu option without first clicking on
the SAVE button has the same effect as clicking on the UNDO
button.
• When you have finished making the changes required
and saving them, close the Internet Explorer window to
exit the program.
Home—Clicking this button returns you to the welcome
page.
Send a Message—This feature is not available. Instead, use
the site survey function to test that the NC369 is operating
correctly.
ÂPagers—This screen
is used to enable pagers
in the NC369’s internal pager
database. (Default is Enabled
Alphanumeric for pagers 400–
499; all other pagers are
Disabled). To enable a pager,
click on its number and then
the EDIT button. (For pagers
used with the Tek-
CARE®NC300II nurse call
system, choose a pager
between 400–447. For pagers
used with the Tek-CARE®400
nurse call system or the Tek-
CARE®500 wireless
emergency call system, choose a pager between 000–999.)
Type a TekTone®5-digit Pager ID in the Capcode field.
Use this formula to convert the desired 3-digit CAP code
to its corresponding 5-digit Pager ID:
Pager ID = [(pager’s CAP code × 8) + 10000]
See Figure 3 for a CAP code to Pager ID conversion table
for the CAP codes most commonly used with TekTone®
pagers.
Choose Alpha in the Type field,and then click on the SAVE
button. Repeat to enable additional pagers. TekTone®
recommends enabling extra pager numbers for future use
to avoid reprogramming the NC369.
