Software installation
The software must always be installed and used as Administrator.
To do this:
- After the installation, go on the icon of the 8061
NSTS and after highlighting it, always with the right
button of the mouse, choose the voice “property”,
it should be the last one of the menu.
In the new window you have to choose the card
called “compatibility”
- Highlight the icon 8059 NSTS setup with one
click of the mouse, then push the right button and
from the menu choose the third voice from the
top “RUN as administrator”

4
- Now check the box “run this software as
administrator” and push the ok button.
At this point, every time the software runs, it will be
in the mode Administrator.
Now it is time to connect the area monitor to your
computer
What happens when I do not use the
option “Run as Administrator”?
From last Windows versions (after XP) every software, to be correctly used, must be installed with the
option “Run as Administrator”.
Also to be used, you have always to choose the option “Run as Administrator”.
This is a security control introduced in Windows.
When you do not use this option, all program les are created in a parallel folder.
So with the option “Run as Administrator” the program folder used has the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\(folder program)
Without this option the folder used is:
C:\Users\(nome utente)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\(folder program)
In addition, on some computer, the folder AppData is not visible, it is hidden.
Without the correct installation and use the program could not nd some important le and have some
problems during the normal utilization

Connection to the computer
The rst connection with the area monitor must be done via cable (RS232 or USB).
We can have 3 different possibilities:
- the computer has a RS232 port
- the computer does not have a RS232 port and you have to use the USB/RS232 adaptor
- use the USB connection
The computer has a RS232 port
This is easiest situation. Normally the RS232 port is recognized as COM1.
The computer does not have a RS232 port and you have to use the USB/RS232 adaptor
This is the converter normally given with area monitor.
It should be automatically installed on your computer.
In case you can install necessary driver manually that
are in the CD.
Use the USB connection
When the AMB-8059 is connected via USB, it is recognized by the computer as a new COM port
called TI MSP430 USB (COMx), where x is the number associated to this specic port.
With the rst connection it would be necessary to install its specic driver. Consult the user’s manual,
chapter 7.4.1.1 for additional information.
The driver is called MSP430_CDC.inf and it is located in the same program folder, normally its path is
C:\Program Files (x86)\8059NSTS

Now, it is time to decide in which way your AMB-8059 has to work.
With this area monitor you can work in Point-to Point mode or FTP mode, using the 3G modem or the
Wi-Fi connection or also via optical ber
Point to Point is a direct connection between the area monitor and the computer using the modem,
the Wi-Fi or the optical ber. The Point to Point with the Wi-Fi can be done directly, only in case the area
monitor and the computer are under the same Wi-Fi network, or through a router.
In case of modem connection, you need a PC modem, a SIM card in the area monitor modem
and another SIM car for the PC modem but only if it is GSM. Beware, the SIM card for this way of
communication need to be specically enabled for CSD communication mode. This kind of specic
SIM card is normally called M2M Machine to Machine. Make sure the PIN code of the SIM card in use
has been removed.

7
FTP means File Transfer Protocol, in this mode there is no direct connection between the area monitor
and the computer. The area monitor will send all data on a FTP server where they lies up to the user
will use the software to download them.
To work in this mode you need a FTP server and then choose between a modem connection or Wi-Fi
connection.
In case of modem connection you need a SIM card in the area monitor modem with an internet data
subscription. Make sure the PIN code of the SIM card in use has been removed.
In case of Wi-Fi connection, especially with free networks, be sure that the access has always the
same password. The area monitor is able to support up WPA2-PSK protocol.
As default every monitor station is set on Wi-Fi communication FTP.

The software 8059-SW02
Connect the area monitor to the computer and launch the software.
In the rst window you can see the button change with the indication of port you are using to communicate
with he area monitor.
As default it is set on the rst available COM port of your computer.
Press it in case you need to change the port.
Leave the check on the COMM and from the drop down menu choose the connection you are using
with the area monitor. Remember that in case you are using an USB/RS232 adaptor it is normally
indicated as “Prolic USB-to-Serial COMM Port (COMx)”.
In this example we are using USB connection that is normally indicated as “TI MSP430 USB (COMx)”.

If the answer is YES, a window will be opened where it is possible to enter the Terminal PASSWORD
for the management of the Field Monitors. If the answer is NO, the program will allow to enter the
password later. The User can enter any sequence of alphanumerical characters. We recommend to
take a note of the Terminal PASSWORD entered.
It will be necessary to install the control software again in case the password is missing. After entering
the Password with OK, the software will request conrmation of the password before registering it into
the system.
For additional information or problems, consult the User’s manual chapter 7
Now the software will ask you to enter a Terminal Password.
The Terminal PASSWORD is used to prevent the improper use of the software by non admitted
personnel.

Exactly for the previous passage, if the answer is YES, a window will be opened where it is possible
to enter the Setting PASSWORD for the management of the Field Monitors. If the answer is NO, the
program will allow to enter the password later. The User can enter any sequence of alphanumerical
characters. We recommend to take a note of the setting PASSWORD entered.
For additional information or problems, consult the User’s manual chapter 7
Every time you have to modify a eld, the Terminal Password or the Setting Password
will be requested by the software.
At the beginning, for the rst setting operations, it would be helpful to leave these
password blank, simply pressing enter on the keyboard.
Set a password only after all your area monitors will be correctly set, and just in case
you need to have an higher security level
After entering the Terminal Password needed to ensure the secure management of the Field Monitors
(Station identier, telephone number, automatic downloads, automatic text le creation…), the soft-
ware asks to enter a Setting PASSWORD which is needed to edit the parameter settings on the Field
Monitors to be queried (alarm settings, storing rate, frequency bands, rmware upgrading…).
