Opening Other Sites
You can open additional sites from Tracer Summit. Examples of other
sites you may want to open include Tracker, Tracer 100 or other BCU
sites. See “Opening Tracer 100/Tracker Sites” on page 40 for instructions
on opening a Tracer 100 site.
◆ Open the navigation tree and double-click on a site.
Opening Tracer 100/Tracker Sites
Tracer Summit interacts with Tracer 100 and Tracker (model EMTK)
sites primarily through terminal emulation. Terminal emulation is a user
interface for Tracer 100 and Tracker panels. If you have multiple Tracer
100 panels, terminal emulation runs for only one panel at a time. Tracer
Summit enables you to switch from one panel to another.
See “Using Terminal Emulation and Keyboard Macros” on page 43 for
more information on terminal emulation.
To switch to another panel:
1. From the Connect menu, select Select Remote. The Select Remote
dialog box displays.
2. Select the desired Tracer 100 or Tracker panel that you want to open.
3. Click OK. The workstation disconnects from the currently connected
panel and connects to the newly selected panel. The Remote Unit
Name field displays the name of the Tracer 100 panel.
Note:
The following happens when you open another site:
• Tracer Summit continues to display information for the
first site in a window behind the newly opened site.
• The first site remains open until you close it. See the sec-
tion “Closing a Site” on page 41 for details.
• The site you just opened is the active site. Any actions you
take (for example, changing a schedule) are made to the site
you just opened, and not to any other open sites.
Note:
Tracer Summit always displays the terminal emulation session
by default each time you connect to a Tracer 100 or Tracker
site.
Note:
Terminal emulation sessions that you forget to close can delay
scheduled scans.
