ECS-L TEST – FLOW CHART

ECS-L Test Preparation

• Insert SIM in to MODEM•Connect SAM1.5 to ECS-L• Inter Connect the 2 RS232 Ports of ECS-L

• Inter connect 2 RS485 Ports of ECS-L

•Power up ECS-L with or without SAM1.5

ECS-L Test Set-up •Configure ECS-L with

test Configuration•Configure Test Server IP address.

ECS-L Test with Server

•Server Auto detects communication from new ECS-L unit and IP Address

•Server runs test scrip to check the following:

•ECS-L Serial Number•Communication between the 2 RS232 ports

•Communication between the 2 RS485 ports

•Generate and email a PDF test certificate to predefined list of email addresses. If test was successful or not and ECS-L is working correctly or not.

•Configure ECS-L with Vodacom Config

If test is unsuccessful and ECS-L is not working a test certificate will be issued

indicating the part of the test that failed

HOW TO TEST SAM COMMUNICATION

Pre Test Instructions::1. Make sure Communication cable is

connected between communication controller and SAM.

2. Make sure communication cable is connected between PC and communication controller

3. Make sure PC IP address is within range of the communication controller – only applicable with the ECS(E1/Ethernet) communication controller.

Open the SAM ECT4. Select TCP5. Insert the IP address of the communication

controller6. Insert the applicable port number, usually

301 or 3107. Click on OK and communication will

commence.

NOTE: If this is a SAM2 unit not running on V3.03 firmware it will be necessary to log into the SAM2 unit using an RS232 cable to enable “RS485” on the SAM2 unit.

HOW TO TEST ACCESS CONTROL COMMUNICATION

Pre Test Instructions::1. Make sure Communication cable is

connected between communication controller and the Access Controll.

2. Make sure communication cable is connected between PC and communication controller

3. Make sure PC IP address is within range of the communication controller – only applicable with the ECS(E1/Ethernet) communication controller.

Open the Access Control ECT4. Select TCP5. Insert the IP address of the communication

controller6. Port Number is set to 301 as a default7. Click on Connect and the Logon and

communication will commence Test.8. Click on “Open Door” 9. Click on “Get Version10. Click on “Get Time”11. Click on “Log off”
