Dealer Transmitter Types

The Transmitter Types form contains the Transmitter Types available and allows the company to determine what Dealers may use which types.  

Transmitter Types help define the alarm events arriving from monitored sites.  Every transmitter requires a Transmitter Type .

 This form contains three cards:

• Available TX Types
• Selected TX Types
• TX ID Ranges

Available Transmitter Types

The Available Transmitter Types card contains all the available transmitter types that may be filtered for the dealer. 

For lists that exceed the viewable space, users may page through the available items, or use the search (🔍) feature at the top of the card.  

Selected Transmitter Types

 Filtering Transmitter types is not required but can be helpful when Dealers are doing their own data entry of accounts through BoldNet.  To add a Transmitter Type to a Dealer record, click the Plus sign (➕) next to the Transmitter Type to add.  That moves the selected time from the left card to the right.  

Remember to Save (💾) the record.

TX ID Ranges

The Transmitter ID Ranges apply a specific number of Transmitter IDs for a Receiver Line Prefix.  

Transmitter ID Ranges allow Manitou to assign Transmitter IDs to customer transmitters.  Transmitter ID Ranges may be added to the Monitoring Company and Dealer Records.

1. On the required record, navigate to the TX ID Ranges form.  
2. Click the Plus sign found on the upper right-hand corner of the card.  
3. Drop down and select the Receiver Line Prefix to apply to the range.  
4. Drop down the Type and select the Type for this range.
   • Free Form allows multiple value types for the range.
   • Decimal restricts the range to numeric decimal values.
   • HEX (Include A) enables the range for HEX values and allows A.
   • HEX (Exclude A) enables the range for HEX values and disallows A.

6. Enter the last ID value  - Such as 1999
7. Enter the Next available Range Value - Most often, the first value in the group, such as 1001 
8. Range Full automatically selects when the last value of the range is assigned to an account.  
9. Restart enables when the range is full and will then hunt through the range for any empty slots.  
10. When set as required, click Done.
