Identifying an RTA
To display the identity of an RTA on the system map proceed as follows;
1. In the windows desktop, display the Perle program group window.
2. In the Perle program group window, double click on the RIO icon.
The Rio Configuration window is now displayed showing a map of your RIO system.
3. In the Rio Configuration window, select the RTA(s) you wish to identify physically; (control
- click to select more than one RTA).
4. In the Rio Configuration menu, click on Commands > Identify .
The system map now displays a pulse moving along the link between the host card and
the selected RTA(s) and the LEDs are flashed on the actual RTAs you have identified.
5. When you have finished identifying the RTAs you want, in the Rio configuration menu,
click on Commands > Stop identify to disable the identify feature.
The Identify feature now cancels (over the next 5 seconds) and the flashing lights cease on
both the RTA symbol and unit.
Hint
If you wish to identify multiple RTAs, note the pattern of flashing lights visible on the
RTA symbols on the system map in the Rio Configuration window. The flashing
pattern is unique to each RTA, so you can then match the pattern of flashing LEDS
on the actual RTAs.
