<h2>Setup 2019 (Can and hopefully will be improved for later years):</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Unit Names </h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Internal name (limited to 8 characters) and number of each labelled unit.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Dackstein 01 is cave 01</li>
|
|
<li>CUCC 02 is test 02</li>
|
|
<li>Surface unit (not labelled) is surface 14</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Setting up the Units</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>For a basic set up the antenna is comprised of two metal plates earthed to the ground. For each unit the further apart the plates are the better and further the signal will travel. It is important that the plates are in good contact with the ground, use of water or wet mud is best for this. The routing of the wires in not important, but should not be wrapped round the spool. the wire has intermediate connection points if the full extent of the wire is not used. Multiple wires can be used to extend the distance. It does not matter which way round the wires are plugged into the unit.</p>
|
|
<p>For the best signal distance the (imaginary) lines between the antenna should be parallel in three dimensional space</p>
|
|

<h2>Notes on the 2019 set up for people changing things in the future</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The auto time did not seem to be working</li>
|
|
<li>Having incorrect and different times does not stop the units working, but it probably would with power saving on</li>
|
|
<li>To use GSM all units need to know what unit has the GSM on it</li>
|
|
<li>The menu order seems to be different across the units, different versions of the software?</li>
