LED Signs Connections & Software
|
|
| |
Connections |
|
| |
 |
Wireless:
The signal travels via a wireless transmitter placed on the
control computers serial port and transmits the message to the
receiver at the sign. |
|
| |
 |
Ethernet:
The signal travels through an Ethernet adapter using a static
IP address and converts the signal to RS485 allowing communication
up to 4000’ and allowing your sign to be controlled via
the local area network. |
|
| |
 |
Hardwired
RS232: The signal travels from your serial or USB port
on your computer directly to the sign between 25’ to 50’
away. |
|
| |
 |
IR
Downloader: The signal travels from the serial or USB
port to the download box. The box is then carried out to the
sign and uploaded to the communications box at the sign. |
|
| |
 |
Hardwired
RS485: The signal travels from your serial port on
your computer directly to the sign up to 4000’ away. |
|
| |
 |
Phone
Modem: The telephone signal travels from your PC to
the Modem inside your sign enabling long distance communication. |

AlphaNET
Programming Software |
|
| |
 |
AlphaNET
messaging software enhances every aspect of electronic messaging–from
sending and creating, to the editing of text, animations and
graphics. AlphaNET software brings together all the essential
tools for realizing the full potential of Alpha® displays,
with unique features that include: high-level capabilities for
group messaging (via serial, modem, wireless or LAN network),
an animation library and support for .GIF and .BMP files, calendar/date
message scheduling, Jasc® Paint Shop Pro, Animation Shop
Pro (PSP), Site Manager, and Message Emulator, all within a
useful and intuitive interface.
Create multiple messages to communicate special events, incentives,
news, and congratulations that contain text with logos, graphics
and animations. For added versatility and message enhancement,
included is a unique counter feature to display the minutes,
hours or days to an event or occasion.
Features include:
Schedule messages to display at different times, locations and
days
“Message Simulator” allows you to view messages
before they are actually displayed
Allows user to have a network of displays via serial addressing,
modems, wireless, and Local Area Network (LAN)
Enables use of graphics and animations in popular formats
Contains a counter feature to display minutes, hours or days
to an event
Supports international characters
Ability to send messages to individual or groups of signs
Includes ActiveX control for real-time applications
Provides support for Alpha plug-ins
Supports a wide variety of scanners |

ALPHA
Sign Communications Protocol |
|
|
| |
 |
Adaptive's
protocol document allows you to be in complete control of your
ALPHA electronic message display.
The Adaptive protocol document allows your ALPHAsign to communicate
directly with cash registers, point-of-purchase displays, programmable
logic controls, your desktop PC, or almost any device with a
serial port. Post real-time information, boost morale, advertise
at the point-of-purchase, all from your own software application.
With Adaptive's ALPHAProtocol document you'll have your software
"Alpha Ready" in no time. |

Custom
Software |
|
| |
Whether
it is pulling live information from a database, RSView 32, custom
interfaces with PLC’s, or simple messaging, ENTECH
can create software applications to provide you with a solution
custom to your needs. ENTECH
can write applications using all of the major programming languages
including Oracle, Active X, C++, etc. Our normal projects include
pulling simple “real-time” data from a manufacturing
facility to showing on-site weather information for a missile
range. Either way ENTECH
is here to provide complete “turn-key” solutions
for its customers big and small. |

ALPHA
Ethernet Adapter II |
|
|
| |
 |
Simply
attach the ALPHA® Ethernet Adapter II to the back of a display
and connect your Ethernet cable to the Adapter. The ALPHA Ethernet
Adapter II is easily configured remotely over your network.
No external power supply is required as the Adapter is powered
directly by the display. Where several displays are connected
together via an RS485 network, the MSS485 version is available
to easily connect multiple signs to one IP address on a 10BaseT
network.
Features include:
Easy connectivity to existing LAN's.
Networking via TCP/IP 10/100BaseT
Connection to Adaptive's full line of standard ALPHA displays.
Simple user setup of the IP address. |
|

Remote
Control |
|
|
| |
 |
For
Alpha 200, 300, 400, 4000, and 7000 series signs. Also for
Big Dot, and Solar signs.
A
Remote Control can be used to turn a sign off and on or to
clear its internal memory. Also, a Remote Control can set
a sign’s time and date
and its serial address. However, a Remote Control’s
most important—and most used—
purpose is the creation of text messages and graphic images
on a sign. |
|
| |
IR
Loader |
|
|
| |
 |
The
Alpha Message Loader records and stores programming information
(messages, text, graphics, animations, data, etc.) for Alpha
LED displays that are equipped with Alpha EZ95 and EZII Communications
protocol. The Alpha Message Loader can be programmed by a personal
computer with messaging software, or the Alpha Message Loader
can read a message directly from the memory of an Alpha, BetaBrite,
or AlphaEclipse sign that has been programmed by computer and
software or by a handheld remote keyboard.
The Alpha Message Loader works
with both indoor and outdoor message centers. It works as
an infrared transmission device with Alpha and BetaBrite signs
that are equipped with infrared receivers. It works as a serial
transmission device with Alpha signs that don't have infrared
receivers (AlphaEclipse models).
Once
messages are stored in the Alpha Message Loader, they can
be transmitted (transferred, downloaded, or copied) into one
or more Alpha, BetaBrite, and AlphaEclipse displays (any model). |

Site
and facility security is more important than ever. Effective
access control systems must be installed to monitor and control
the passage of people, vehicles, and freight into and out of
critical facilities. Entech has solutions, integrating RFID
and led displays to allow enhanced security while increasing
the efficiency of the check-in-and-out process.
