1) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
============================

** Please note:  You must first uninstall any current versions of the Watchport 
Manager prior to installing this version. **

** Please check WWW.IONETWORKS.COM for any Watchport Manager updates or newer 
version prior to installing. **


To start the installation of the Watchport Manager, please run Setup.exe.

*** ANSWER YES TO KEEP ANY EXISTING FILES! ***

To install a Temperature + Humidity sensor using just one sensor, pick 
"Watchport Combo Device" in Sensor Setup.

In order to use multiple Watchport/V sensors (cameras), you must 

 1) Install the Vicam MultiCamera drivers.  

 2) After you reboot your system run the Vicam "MultiCam Wizard" 
 	application to finish the VfW driver setup.

In order to use other Watchport sensors (Watchport/T, Watchport/H, Watchport/D, 
Watchport/A), you must:

 1) Attach USB connected base unit(s) into system

 2) Install appropriate drivers for your operating system found at 
	www.ionetworks.com in the Edgeport driver section.


PLEASE NOTE: There are some incompatibility issues with XP & the multicamera driver. 


2) BASIC MANAGER INSTRUCTIONS
=============================

*** To add a Temperature + Humidity combo sensor (using just one Humidity sensor), 
	please go to the Sensor Setup screen and click "Add Device".  Choose the 
	"Combo Sensor" from the list, set the comm port accordingly and click "OK".  
	YOu should then see both sensors listed. ****

To change a Watchport/V label name,
	double click on the appropriate device name in the "Video" tab.

To change a Watchport/T, /H, /D, /A, or /P label name,
	double click on the appropriate device name in the device type tab.

To bring a specific camera view to the summary tab,
	double click on the appropriate camera label in the summary tab.

To send the current camera view in the summary tab off,
	double click on the device name label below the camera window. 

To set sensor thresholds (temperature, and humidity limits) and alerts,
	Click on the "Setup" drop-down menu,
	Choose "Threshold" option. 

To set the sensor reading intervals, 
	Click on the "Setup" drop-down menu,
	Choose "Sensor" option. 
	
	Move the slider bar to the appropriate reading interval
	 for the Watchport/T, Watchport/H and Watchport Combo sensors	
	Change the polling interval for the binary type sensors, such as the
	 Watchport/P and Watchport/W sensors.	
	Click the "Set" button to make the changes

To Set proximity and camera events,
	Click on the "Setup" drop-down menu,
	Choose "Proximity Events" option. 
	Make any adjustments necessary.

Proximity Events located on the "Proximity Events" tab (Sensor Setup) will work for 
either the Watchport/P sensor or the Watchport/D sensor.   

PLEASE NOTE:  The Proximity Events will only be triggered for a Watchport/D sensor 
when the sensor is operating in "Proximity" mode.  

Dual Function Sensors:  The Watchport/D and the Watchport/A are both dual functionality.

  Watchport/A :	Provides user with changes along the X- and Y- axis of the sensor
		Provides user with a "bump" event whenever the sensor is moved or bumped.
		Sensitivity may be set for this sensor by right clicking over the sensor 
		in the main summary tab.

  Watchport/D : Provides user with distance in centimeters from the sensor "eye"
		Provides user with Proximity events when a person or object is in front of 
		the sensor "eye".  Sensitivity may be set for this sensor by right clicking 
		over the sensor in the main summary tab.

To add devices to the Manager manually for the first time,
	Click on the "Setup" drop-down menu,
	Choose the "Sensors" option
	In the "Device Connect" tab, click on the "Add Device" button.
	Drop down the list for the appropriate device
		and choose a COM port number is applicable**
	Click "OK"	
	Continue to add sensors and then Choose the "Connect All" 
		button or Connect individually.

** To locate and install sensors automatically (with the exception of the Watchport/V 
** camera), click on the "Setup" drop-down menu and then select "Sensors".  Click on 
** the "Device Connect" tab and then press the "Add Device" button.  Click on the 
** "Build Sensor List" button.  You can then check each box next to the sensor you 
** would like to add to Sensor Setup.  PLEASE NOTE:  The sensor must be found on a 
** COM port number less than COM17.

	
If you need to change the COM port assignment after you have already selected it from 
	Add Device, you will need to first delete the device out of Sensor Setup and 
	then re-add the device, making the change to the COM port number as needed.


3) DEVICE SUPPORT INFORMATION
=============================
Up to 10 Devices total can be monitored simultaneously, including Watchport/V 
units (cameras).

Watchport/V Camera Limit: Up to 4 cameras with Vicam MultiCamera Drivers loaded

Watchport/A, /D, /T, /H, or /P  : Up to 4 simultaneous sensors of the same type 


4) MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
============================
For the "Email on Alert" feature, it is suggested to use the "Test" drop-down menu 
	feature to test your connection and login parameters first.  You will get 
	a message indicating whether or not the test email was successful.

For the use of the MAPI email feature, you must have a MAPI email client installed 
	AND running on your PC.  If you're using XP and a MAPI client, you may get 
	a message indicating that a program is trying to send an email.  In order 
	to get around this message, it's suggested that you download a utility such 
	as "ClickYes" or an equivalent program which will answer this question for 
	you in case you're not at the PC when the alert occurs. 

Details as to how to program the Watchport sensors into an existing or customer-created 
	application can be found in the Watchport Sensor instruction manual (PDF), also 
	found online at www.ionetworks.com.

You may use HyperTerminal to test the sensors.  Open up a session using any baud rate and 
	line parameters and then issue basic commands such as "I<CR>" or "S<CR>" to verify 
	that the sensor is working and installed properly.

This software does not yet support:
	Full Paging, un-attended data collecting, 
	running as a Service, advanced logging options
