1. Getting Started 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of StreetWise Partner. StreetWise Partner is a Palm Pilot application that provides the field technician the ability to: 1) Transfer settings between controllers and StreetWise. 2) Initialize modem strings using a Palm Pilot handheld device instead of a laptop computer. 3) Act as a standalone temporary repository for controller settings. 4) Download a real-time clock to a controller. 5) Download EPROM s to a controller 6) Use various MMU/CMU functions Get Programming Report Get Analyzer Report Get History Report Clear Report Logs MMU Only Download Real-Time Clock 7) View real-time intersection status StreetWise Partner can communicate to controllers via NTCIP or Naztec protocols. The compact size and low cost of Palm Pilots coupled with the ease of use and flexibility of StreetWise Partner makes it the best choice for managing controller settings and initializing modems out in the field. 1.2 System Overview StreetWise Partner can operate in two configurations: 1) standalone configuration or 2) synchronize with StreetWise. In standalone configuration, StreetWise Partner synchronizes with the desktop computer to obtain a user configurable list of modem strings and ROM files for modem string initialization and EPROM downloads, respectively. It also obtains a list of controller types, which are used to enable StreetWise Partner to act as a standalone temporary repository for controller settings as well as download a real-time clock to the controller. When synchronized with StreetWise, StreetWise Partner has all the functionality of the standalone but can be used to update changes in the field into StreetWise as well as update field controllers with the latest settings configured in StreetWise. StreetWise Partner is synchronized with the desktop computer and StreetWise using the Palm HotSync Manager, which is a part of the Palm Desktop software package. The HotSync cable connects to the Palm Pilot s serial port on one end and an available nine-pin serial port on the desktop PC on the other end. The user then activates a HotSync, which adds all the controllers in StreetWise to the Palm Pilot as well as updates any newer controller settings in the Palm Pilot to the corresponding upload file in StreetWise. The setup is show below: Synchronizing StreetWise Partner with StreetWise/Desktop Computer HotSync Cable Desktop computer StreetWise Partner communicates to controllers and modems serially using the Naztec Palm serial cable which connects to the serial port of the Palm Pilot at one end and the System P-A or Naztec, Inc. 2
PC/Print P-2 port on the controller at the other or the 25-pin serial port of a modem.

3. Using StreetWise Partner 3.1 Synchronizing StreetWise Partner with StreetWise Synchronizing StreetWise Partner with StreetWise using HotSync will do the following: 1) Add new controllers from StreetWise into StreetWise Partner (any controllers in StreetWise Partner that are not in StreetWise get deleted); 2) For existing controllers, synchronize controller settings between StreetWise Partner and StreetWise. Sequence for Synchronization For existing controllers, the synchronization logic first compares the timestamps of the Upload file in StreetWise with the Last Updated timestamp in StreetWise Partner. If the Last Updated timestamp in StreetWise Partner is newer than the Upload file in StreetWise, the controller settings from StreetWise Partner are copied to the Upload file of the corresponding controller in StreetWise. If the Upload file in StreetWise is equal to or newer than the Last Updated timestamp in StreetWise Partner, then the timestamp of the Permanent file in StreetWise is compared to the Last Updated timestamp in StreetWise Partner. If the timestamp of the Permanent file in StreetWise is newer than the Last Updated timestamp in StreetWise Partner, then the Permanent file of the controller in StreetWise is copied to StreetWise Partner. Finally, if the controller name or type is different between StreetWise and StreetWise Partner, then the Permanent file of the controller in StreetWise is copied to StreetWise Partner. IMPORTANT: StreetWise Partner will attempt to load all the controllers in StreetWise until there is only 100 kilobytes of free memory remaining on the Palm. If any of the controllers in StreetWise did not load to the Palm it is most likely because the minimum 100 kilobytes of free memory limit was reached. A HotSync is performed as follows: 1. Ensure the HotSync Manager is running on the desktop by looking for the HotSync Icon in the lower right-hand corner of the Taskbar: HotSync Manager Icon If not, then the HotSync Manager must be started by clicking on Start->Programs->Palm Desktop->HotSync Manager: Naztec, Inc. 16
