Configuration and Activation 6-25
Activating the Monitor
After configuring the monitor, activate the monitor to initiate the
flow monitoring process based on the monitor configuration.
Monitor activation involves generating the activation data using the
Profile software, downloading this data to the monitor, and
initiating flow data measurement and logging. The activation data
includes the current monitor firmware (embedded software) and
relevant portions of the LIF and other configuration parameters
necessary to ensure monitoring activities reflect the specific site
conditions and project requirements. The monitor requires these
files and information to properly measure and record the flow.
Activating the monitor also tests communication between the user's
computer and the monitor. To test communication, connect to the
monitor on-site (using the Direct Connection cable) or have an
analyst call the monitor from any telephone or computer at a remote
location while a technician is on-site to verify that the monitor
modem responds. This also will verify the monitor telephone
number entered in Profile.
Note: If the monitor has been deactivated (configured to
no longer wake up and take measurements), the user must
communicate directly with the FlowShark monitor via a
serial connection before remote communications can be
resumed.
Monitor activation occurs through the Diagnostics tool in Profile.
Activate the monitor as follows:
1. Select the monitor location for activation from the Profile main
screen, and then click on the Diagnostics toolbar button.
The Diagnostics dialog displays.
