DIVISION pg. 9 of 69 1.3 Tag "cradle" inside the AU drawer The tag cradle is shown at right in a "top view" photo (of the AU drawer pulled out). The cradle shown in the photo at right is configured to accept various Fusion or Type 2 LCD tags. A separate AU drawer1 has a cradle that is configured to accept various FPT, RMT or LPT tags. Drawers are easily exchanged by slipping them on and off from the drawer glides as shown in the photo below. Lift up on the black plastic locks on both sides of the drawer while gently pulling the drawer up and out from the slides. Reverse the procedure to install a drawer. Pull the slides out frontward as far as possible to re-engage the locks. Both locks must "click" into place. IMPORTANT… The correct alignment of the tag in the cradle is vital to the programming process. When placing any tag into the cradle, ensure that the applicable alignment diagram (or photograph) is referenced. For details, refer to Appendix - Positions of tags in the AU drawer "cradle". 1 This feature will be changed to a single drawer for all tags. Refer to the notes on page 2 of Appendix - Hardware.
USER MANUAL: T500 Tag Programming Station (TPS) Document A316000-699 ©1999-2008 MARK IV INDUSTRIES CORP. I.V.H.S. DIVISION pg. 10 of 69 2.0 Getting started - Installation Overview This section is an overview of what you will do to install the program and to start programming tags. The TPS components are interconnected as shown in the previous section. An “installer” will install the TPS program for the first time separately on each TPS computer. The installer will use the password "doinstall" which is valid only for the install procedure. The installer will require the “authorization code" for each TPU previously sent to the agency or service center contact person. For security purposes, the authorization code is set differently on each TPU shipped. The installer must add at least one supervisor to the User ID file. Then the installer must exit (log off) from the program. The installer is not allowed to start up and/or log into the program again. Now, one of the supervisors listed in the User ID file must log in and create a password. The supervisor may now add (or remove) the other system users and/or supervisors. Note that the TPU does not have to be connected to the computer to perform this function. Now, each one of the users in turn use their ID to log on and put their password into the User ID file. Each user then logs out then logs in again using the password to gain access only to the user menu items. At this point the TPS will be properly setup to program tags. For larger batches of tags, the supervisor may selectively automate the programming activity. The TPS program is normally running all the time. A supervisor or a user will log in and out as required. The system accepts only one person to be logged in at a time. The program menu items are automatically enabled/disabled for the user type that is currently logged in. 2.1 A note about "forgotten" passwords… • If a user forgets their password then any supervisor may simply erase that user from the list and then re-enter the same name in the list again. That user must re-create a password when logging in. • If a supervisor forgets their password then any other supervisor may simply erase that supervisor from the list and then re-enter the same name in the list again. That supervisor must re-create a password when logging in. • If there is only one supervisor in the list and that supervisor forgets their password then the following procedure must be taken. 1) Erase the current list of users and passwords by erasing the file "tps.cfg" in the Windows directory. 2) Re-install the TPS program and re-setup the system as described in the overview above. IMPORTANT It is strongly recommended to install a UPS for the TPS computer. With the exception of a power failure, the TPS program is intended to run continuously, however... 1. Supervisors must always use the “Exit” menu command if the program is ever terminated. 2. Always "Exit" the program before shutting down the computer for any reason. 3. You must be familiar with the care and use of the TPU. 4. Read the Appendix - Hardware Setup in this manual before using the TPS system.
USER MANUAL: T500 Tag Programming Station (TPS) Document A316000-699 ©1999-2008 MARK IV INDUSTRIES CORP. I.V.H.S. DIVISION pg. 11 of 69 2.2 Using the Table of Contents as a guide… The pertinent sections of the table of contents are arranged below in “logical order”. This means that if you are installing the program at a new site then you will start with the steps outlined in item 1. Then item 2 steps are arranged in the order that they are usually taken immediately after a new installation has been completed. After the new users’ “change password” action has been performed the steps 2a through 2g may be taken independently from each other (i.e. each step outlines how to perform a specific “free standing” action). Item 3 outlines all of the remaining actions that may be taken only by a Supervisor. 1. Installer Activities a) install the TPS program b) launch the TPS program c) add Supervisors and Users d) log out 2. Supervisor and User Activities a) log in b) create password c) change password d) read a tag e) program a tag f) template load g) log out 3. “Supervisor only” Activities a) add Supervisors and Users b) template create and save c) TPS configuration setup functions (e.g. automatic read or write the tags) d) other supervisor functions
USER MANUAL: T500 Tag Programming Station (TPS) Document A316000-699 ©1999-2008 MARK IV INDUSTRIES CORP. I.V.H.S. DIVISION pg. 12 of 69 3.0 Program installation procedure You must be an “Installer” to perform this function. Make a copy of the original program disk(s). Store the original disk(s). Use the copy to install the program onto your hard drive. The TPS program is entirely self-installing by using the "Setup.exe" utility on program disk #1. Be prepared to use the secret “installer's password” and the “authorization code" at the appropriate prompt in the install process. • Verify that there are no other Windows® applications currently running on the computer (i.e. Word®, Excel®, etc.) • Insert program disk #1 into the floppy drive. • Use the Windows® toolbar commands "Start", "Run" then "Browse" to locate the Setup program (see example below). • Click "Open", the Run window is displayed again except now the Setup.exe utility is loaded. • After clicking "OK", the very first message box for the TPS install will look like this… There are several screens associated with the InstallShield® Wizard displayed next. The InstallShield® Wizard is installed first and you are prompted to wait. Important Note: It is not necessary to have the TPU connected in order to install the software and configure the system users.

DIVISION pg. 16 of 69 • Then the Setup Complete prompt appears with an option to launch the program. The program installation from disk is complete at this point. The installer now launches the program and sets up the TPS system with at least one Supervisor before logging out from the installation. 3.1 Launching the TPS program If the "Yes, Launch…" box shown above was selected then the computer will start the TPS program. If the "Yes, Launch…" box shown above was not selected then to start the TPS program do the following. The TPS program icon will be displayed on the Windows desktop (because after the installation is complete the program is listed in the Startup menu). To launch the TPS program click on the icon. If the following error message appears… Then you must… 1) Verify that the TPU is turned on and is connected to the host computer. Look at the virtual LED indicator for "TPU status" located at the bottom right of the host computer screen. 2) Verify all cable connections at the back of the TPU and AU and PC. 3) Verify that the PC serial port that you are connected to (COM1 or COM2) matches the default port set in the configuration menu (see Set Communications port parameters). Note: The cable marked "326595-001" connects the AU to the TPU. The cable marked "326595-002" connects the TPU to the PC (Host). Do not switch these two cables, even though they look identical they are not. The Host cable has a "null modem" built in and is intended only for the Host connection. To launch the program click on the box beside the prompt "Yes, Launch the program file", then click on the "Finish" button. Otherwise, to finish the installation without launching the program, first remove disk #2 from the floppy drive in use, verify that all other floppy drives (if present) are empty, and then click on the "Finish" button.

DIVISION pg. 52 of 69 6.0 Supervisors Notes This section relates to a supervisor using the TPS to perform the "normal" daily tasks. 6.1 Changing (programming) one or more specific data fields in a tag Sometimes all that is required is to read a tag and make a change to a specific data field such as Vehicle Type or Revenue Type and also not change any other data currently in the tag. This situation may apply to a tag or batch of tags that are being re-assigned to another vehicle after having been previously used by the same client for a different commercial vehicle fleet. This situation may also apply to batch programming functions, for example, commissioning or decommissioning of tags. This situation may also apply to batch programming functions where the same scratchpad data is to be programmed into tags belonging to several vehicle types. • Read the tag (or one of the tags from a batch of tags). • Click on the down arrow for the field(s) to be changed and select new data. Alternatively, if the data to be changed is in another folder tab, select that folder tab and change the data. • Save the template and give it a filename that will identify it from all the other saved template files. • The supervisor may then program the tag(s) immediately (see Program a tag) or logout and allow a user to load this filename to program the pre-selected changes into the tag(s). 6.2 Using HELP files… Note: A "template" consists of all the data fields on all the folder tabs shown. Only the data fields that have been changed are used in the programming function. All other data fields that indicate "not changed" are passed over. In other words… "Not Changed" = "not to be changed" Comprehensive HELP files are available on-line. Just click on the main menu " Help " item or hit the "F1" key when the main menu is displayed. Search by function in "content" or "index".
