Using Garrett CMAConnect

This product is shipped with the default IP address of 192.168.0.192. It may be

necessary to modify this address to allow connection to a network or to allow
multiple CMA devices to be connected to the same network. Information about
the product function, assigning the IP address, network and software installation is
included in this manual.

Software installation may require assistance from your System Administrator if

your operating system is password protected.

Network installation may require the assistance of your Network Administrator.

A single CMA installation without a hub or router will require a CAT 5 crossover
cable (available at most computer stores).

Certain functions of the CMA are password-protected. This password is reset to its
default any time the administrative password is reset on the metal detector.

Full functionality of the group management feature requires PD 6500i firmware

version 2.54 or greater and CMA Interface module firmware version 3.15 or
greater.

This 4.0 version of the CMAConnect uses Client and Server software that may not
be compatible with earlier versions. Contact the factory if you plan to use this
version on a network with CMAs configured with earlier versions of the Server
software.

Using Garrett CMAConnect

A user supplied CAT 5 Network cable will be required to connect each CMA directly
to the computer or to the network via a hub or router. If connecting directly to a
computer without a hub or router, it will be necessary to use a Crossover type cable
to achieve a successful connection. The Network Connectivity LED on the CMA will
indicate the successful connection to the computer or network.
Figure 4-A

Network Connectivity Light

The CMAConnect software requires a static IP address to be assigned to each individual CMA module. Initially each CMA is assigned the default IP Address of
192.168.0.192. To communicate properly it is necessary for the computer and all CMAs
to have unique but compatible IP Addresses. There are several ways to achieve this.

Method 1: If the computer is not on a network, its IP Address may be set to 192.168.0.1. The
method to achieve this will vary depending on the operating system that is installed
on the computer. If more than one CMA is attached to the local network it will be necessary to assign a unique IP Address to each CMA. It is necessary to only change the
last block of the IP Address to a unique number in the range of 2 to 255. The method
is described in Section 5.3.
Method 2: If the installation uses a local area network with an existing IP Address it will be necessary to configure the CMA to be compatible with the network. Typically this may be
achieved by changing the first three blocks of the CMAs IP address to match that of
the existing computer network. This may be performed using the method described
in Section 5.3.
Method 3: If the installation uses a wide area network, some additional configuration will be
needed to insure the IP Address and the Gateway of each CMA is compatible with the
network. This may be achieved by using the Network Configuration button described
in Section 5.2.

A crossover cable was not used when connecting directly to a computer.

There is a fault in the network.

The CMA was not able to respond to the discovery request in the available time.
Click Find WTMDs again.

A firewall is active on the computer preventing proper communication. It may be
necessary to switch the firewall off during installation.

The CMA is not on the local network and a router or gateway is blocking the setup
communication. It may be necessary to make a direct connection to the CMA to
allow proper configuration of network parameters before installing on network.

The computer has multiple network cards. Connect CMA to the primary network.

A duplicate IP address was assigned. Have a network administrator verify all
connected and reserved IP addresses.

The server software on the CMA is an older version (2.2 or earlier). Contact the
factory for information on upgrading the CMA.
5.3

ASSIGN OR CHANGE IP ADDRESSES

If you use multiple CMAs on your network, it is necessary to assign a unique IP
address to each CMA before the CMA is added to the desktop.

DATA HISTORY

Garretts CMAConnect software allows you to analyze multiple detectors at the same
time. This allows analysis by lane, checkpoint or location to understand traffic loads
and alarm rates over specific periods.

8.1

DOWNLOAD TO COMPUTER
Before analyzing stored data from one or more WTMDs with CMAConnect, you must
first download this information from each detector.

Go to the WTMD Settings window. Select the group (or WTMD) from which you
wish to download data. Click the View Throughput History button in the bottom
right corner of the window.

Figure 8-A

The prompt asks, The file download process works in the background and may take
up to several minutes to complete. Do you wish to continue? (See Figure 8-A.)

Click on the Yes button and wait while the data is downloaded. If you click No
button, data will not be downloaded and you will be directly shown the throughput
graph and analysis window. Clicking Yes ensures that you analyze the latest statistics from the chosen WTMDs.

A window will appear which tells you that the data download is in progress (see
Figure 8-B). You can continue other work by minimizing this window. Once data download completes, this window will disappear. Now you will see the Throughput Graph
window.

If you selected a particular group or WTMD before you clicked View Throughput
History, those particular units will be selected and their data will be plotted on the
graph. The selected units will show in the lower portion of the window with highlighted background. You may change the selection at any time.

You will notice that as you select or deselect a unit, the data from all the selected units
will be populated on the table above. The table adjusts its date range when a detector
is selected or deselected. The Start Date and End Date values are shown at the top
of the window. They are changed to show the range for which data is available. You
may change these dates to allow analysis to specific date ranges.

As with the individual unit analysis, this table displays times in military format from
00:00 to 24:00. For each hourly unit of time, the green vertical bar represents the Count
totals, while the red vertical bar represents the Alarm totals for the detectors you have
selected. The percentage of alarms to total passes throughput - for each hourly time
frame is displayed as a red percentage number at the bottom of each hourly bar (if
counts were registered during that time increment).

Figure 8-D

This chart (Figure 8-D) represents the total data for each of the selected detectors. Each
selected units serial number is highlighted and all the available serial numbers are
listed at the bottom of the screen.

The hourly throughput value (%) can help evaluation and determination of the proper
flow of traffic through the metal detectors. If one unit has a particularly low number
of passes, the Supervisor can investigate the cause with the operators. Similarly, if one
detector has a very high alarm rate, the Supervisor should review the environment of
the metal detector and may wish to study the pre-screening procedures of the staff.

To revise your search, click Clear Selection near the bottom right of the screen to
get a blank screen. Then, select the desired detector, enter your date range and click

VIEW SETTINGS LOG FILE

The CMA continuously records important activity and setting value changes on the
metal detector. This data is stored in monthly log files on the CMA. This data needs to
be downloaded before it can be viewed. Once downloaded, these files may be transferred to other computers and analyzed without an active connection to the CMA.

To download and view the latest Log files, go to the WTMD Settings window by
clicking the appropriate tab in the top left corner. Now click the View Access & Settings History button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Data is downloaded
from the selected group or WTMD only. Confirm your selection before you click the
button.

You will see a prompt similar to when downloading Throughput History. The prompt
asks, The file download process works in the background and may take up to several
minutes to complete. Do you wish to continue?

Click on the Yes button and wait while the data is downloaded. If you click No
button, data will not be downloaded and you will be directly shown the file viewing window with the currently available files listed. Clicking Yes ensures that you
analyze the latest access and settings history from the chosen WTMDs.

A window will appear which tells you that the data download is in progress. You can
continue other work by minimizing this window. Once data download completes, this
window will disappear. Now you will see the File Viewer window. (See Figure 8-E)

Note: Data will be downloaded only from selected WTMD(s).

The File Viewer window provides you with two listsWTMDs and Files. To view a
particular file, first select the WTMD from the Select a WTMD drop-down box by
clicking on the downward arrow. Once a WTMD is selected, the files list is populated
with available files from the chosen WTMD. You can now select a file to view. Files are
named after the year and month they represent. So, for example, a file that has data
from November 2008 would be named 200811.log.

Once you have selected a log file, the log file will be displayed in the area provided.
Some of the important parameters shown in the log file include

IP Address of detector
Location of detector
Position of detector
Serial Number of detector
Status changes

Status changes include data entries for each time detector was turned off or on and
every time an Administrator logged in to make changes to that unit.

Each open file may be printed to a printer of your choice by opening the file and then
clicking the Print button in the bottom right corner of the window. This brings up
the printer selection dialog box. Select the printer of your choice and continue to print
the file.
