®
Datamate Base for the APOGEE Automation System
is a software package that provides controller
database backup and restore capabilities for APOGEE
and pre-APOGEE networks. Database transfers and
terminal emulation can be accomplished locally or
remotely over telephone lines using a modem from a
desktop or laptop. The Datamate Base software
package allows building operators to communicate
with any APOGEE or pre-APOGEE Automation Level
Network (ALN) or Floor Level Network (FLN) device
using a single easy-to-use software package. A
Database backed up with Datamate Base can be
stored on any media and kept for permanent storage.
Features
Backup and Restore
Datamate Base allows building operators to perform
field panel backup and restore functions with any field
panel on the ALN and their connected FLN devices.
Users can select one field panel or multiple field
panels to transfer databases.
•
Complete backup and restore support for
APOGEE and pre-APOGEE field panels
•
Support for Firmware 2.8.1, 2.8 and earlier, Power
Open Processors and Ethernet field panels
•
System-wide Compatibility with all APOGEE and
pre-APOGEE BLN and FLN devices
•
Auto-connect without knowing configuration
information
•
System profile view of the ALN, FLN, and system
controllers makes communication and database
transfer operations easy
Terminal Emulation
•
Automatically builds a system profile of the
connected field panel and its associated FLN
devices or the entire parent ALN
A computing device running Datamate Base in
terminal mode can function as an operator terminal.
•
Wireless Sensor Commissioning Tool (WSCT)
built into Datamate Base allows a wireless TEC
transceiver to bind and synchronize a wireless
Room Temperature Sensor
Document No. 149-803P25
System Profile
Auto-build System Profile while plugged into a field
panel to get a better view of the network. While the tool
is plugged into an ALN device, you can auto-detect
and build a System Profile that includes FLNs, and
FLN devices just for the ALN device or for the entire
ALN associated with that device.

Pocket PC
Requirements
Pocket PCs must meet specific
hardware requirements. Ask
your local Siemens Building
Technologies office for the latest
list of compatible platforms.
Windows Mobile 5.0 or
Windows Pocket PC 2003
operating systems
Serial COM Port to
communicate with the device,
either natively or via an add-on
device such as a Compact
Flash (CF) serial IO card
Microsoft ActiveSync® version
4.0 or later on the personal
computer
FLN Devices
Optional 4 MB Flash Card
In addition to communicating with field panels,
Datamate Base allows users to interface locally with
Unitary Controllers, TECs, ATECs, Laboratory
controllers and Wireless Room Temperature Sensors.
This eliminates the need to install separate software
programs to communicate with non-field panel
devices.
