Getting A New User Started
This will help the user look in the right direction for a place to get started. It is a very basic
overview. Please have all new users of this software read this section completely while they are
first using the system.
Using The System
MicroWIN 2000 is a software program that is used to communicate with one or more
Microtel S1000 Alarm Dialers. It gives the user easy access to certain aspects of the
dialers’ operations. It can be used to view, record and print a dialer’s current status
information. It can also be used to perform little tasks like acknowledging alarms,
changing analog and digital output states, and clearing a specified channel’s counter
values.
MicroWIN 2000 also gives the user access to a dialer’s Archiving capability. A dialer
can be setup to archive certain events for specified channels. These archives give the
user a history of events of what has previously occurred at your sight. While connected
to a dialer, the user has the ability to retrieve, view and print these Dialer Archives.
On-line Help (Windows 95)
