Test post-installation final legacy functionality
Once the wiring modifications needed to complete the integration are complete, the integrator must ensure that the legacy functions of the original system are still operational.
For instructions about the wiring modifications, contact the
BlackBerry AtHoc
Customer Support team and request a copy of the BlackBerry AtHoc IIM Central Control Unit Interconnection Guide
.This is essentially the same test that was performed before the modifications were made. This test must be performed again to ensure that any changes that were made have not created any problems with the legacy system’s operation.
If the site has REACT4000 or the MassAlert ™ software, have the customer or site operations POC initiate a Silent Test and Health Feedback function of the RTUs and observe the health statuses of each RTU on the REACT4000 or the MassAlert™ software.
The site should initiate a Public Address function and make a manual microphone announcement. The microphone announcement should be observed as providing a loud and clear signal from an unobstructed listening position 100–200 yards from a Giant Voice pole, preferably in line-of-site with the pole, and not near any buildings or large structures.
Record any changes in operation since the pre-installation legacy functionality testing stage. If functionality does not work as expected, review the work that was performed and verify that all wiring has been terminated.
