• Link to connect to the bells system for the HS/MS: https://hsmsbells.han.adremc1.org

• Login with username:admin password: (in REMC1 Lastpass)

• You should pre-create a bells schedule for normal days, half days, testing days. Please see adding/editing the bells and saving a bell schedule to your computer sections as well as Importing a bell schedule back into the bells system.

Adding/Editing the bells schedule

• Click the Schedules button from the top bar of the Cyberdata v3.1 Paging Server web interface

• Click the New button to add a new bell. A window pops up. Select the days this bell is active and the time to play the bell.

• The time is in military time/24hr time.

• Dont forget to Name the event (1st hr bell or Beginning of day bell or lunch over bell etc. Something descriptive.

• For the paging group just leave it at 00. For this application we dont use that setting/it doesnt mean anything.

Making a bell ring ONLY the MS or HS

• To have a bell ring ONLY the MS you would follow the same instructions as listed above BUT... for the paging group you would select Paging Group 02

• To have a bell ring ONLY the HS you would follow the same instructions as listed above BUT... for the paging group you would select Paging Group 01

• (details for REMC1 staff: PagingGroup01 is linked to multicast address 234.2.1.2 port 2002. hsmsintercom zone section has zone 1 linked to that address for listening and when activity is detected on that address and port the audio is played out zone 1 (the HS zone). PagingGroup02 is linked to multicast address 234.2.1.3 port 2004. hsmsintercom zone section has zone 2 linked to that address for listening and when activity is detected on that address and port the audio is played out zone 2 (the MS zone). 

Saving  a bell schedule to your computer for later

• Log in using the link above and the user: admin password: (In REMC1 lastpass)

• Click the Schedules button from the top bar of the Cyberdata v3.1 Paging Server web interface

• Click the Export Schedule Button. Name it something descriptive. I also recommend saving it to the file server share for others to be able to access (and so it gets backed up)

Importing a bell schedule back into the bells system

• Log in using the link above and the user: admin password: (In REMC1 lastpass)

• Click the Schedules button from the top bar of the Cyberdata v3.1 Paging Server web interface

• You DONT have to delete existing bells first. Your import will simply overwrite the existing schedule.

• First click the choos file button at the bottom of the screen.

• Select the appropriate bell schedule file you previously saved. Ideally you saved it on the file server in the shares share so that anyone can upload a new bell schedule and it gets backed up every night.

• After selecting the appropriate bell schedule file click Import Schedule

• AFTER IMPORTING A SCHEDULE YOU MUST REBOOT THE BELLS SYSTEM FOR IT TO TAKE EFFECT

• You are done!
