A Bell schedule requires you to enter the Duration for the bell to ring, the time of day for the bell to ring and the days of the
week. Multiple entries can be made for Bell Schedules with different duration and day assignments. Bell Schedules are
downloaded to the selected terminals by location by using the Communications module in Time Guardian. To do so, see
the next section and/or Time Guardian User Guide for more details.
Do you want to configure Terminals?
Answer Yes to this question if you are using terminals such as a MTX-30 terminal via a serial (USB direct) or Ethernet
(network) connection.
Direct (serial) Connection
If Yes is selected, and a Direct connection using the included 50 foot USB/serial cable is desired, you can just use the
“MTX-30 Default” location. You do not have to do anything else. The MTX-30 terminal, if connected, will automatically be
detected upon login.
Note: The default terminal connection is for a USB (serial-direct) MTX-30 Terminal.
Ethernet (network) Connection
If Yes is selected, and you are installing an Ethernet connection for the MTX-30 click on the Location/Terminal
button and the Locations screen will appear.
Select “MTX-30 Default” on the General tab from the dropdown menu for Locations [recommended for easy
configuration].
Click on Connection tab to select Ethernet for Connection Type and enter your IP Address. The default MTX-30
Location automatically defines other necessary options for Ethernet. Click on button.
