Winter-Related Event Reporting--Appendix A

done through the use of the archive server and detailed information is provided in the
CAMeleon operation manuals for its usage.
Rebooting the Cameleon Sign Computer
1. Close off the client (your user screen)
2. Click the “Start” button (green) in the bottom left corner of the desktop and click the
red “turn off computer” button.
3. Click the green “restart” button.
4. Allow computer system to restart on its own. Once finished, the usual login screen
will appear where you click the little car to get into the system.
5. Click the car and you’re at the desktop.
6. There are 6 icons across the lower part of the screen. First, double click the DTMF
icon. A box pops up; just click “ok”
7. Next, double-click the ADDCO icon. Another box pops up; just click “ok”
8. Double-click the TELESPOT icon. Note that when the box pops up there is a little
field with a drop down box that says “listening port”. It will be automatically
defaulted at “2000”. Click “ok”
9. Double click the TELESPOT icon again, and this time click the arrow at the right of
the “listening port” drop down menu and choose “2001”. Click “ok”
10. Double click the blue SERVER icon. The big Cameleon box pops up along with 3
buttons on the lower right part of the box. Click the one that says “Run”
11. Finally, double click the blue CLIENT icon and sign in as usual.
Once you’ve rebooted, the system will take quite a few minutes to dial up all the modems
and connect to the signs to read their displays (I think that’s how it works). Give it at least
30 minutes before worrying about any other issues.
ATIS
1. After clicking on the ATIS or Taylor Way sign in CAMeleon to open it, go to the
message input screen.
2. Use the 1 st phase of the sign only. Three lines are available.
3. Click on the centering icon on the left side of the screen before entering any message.
4. Type the message desired directly after the [JL3] characters on each line.
5. When finished entering the message, hit the done tab at the bottom, then wait for the
message to change
6. When the time to remove the message arrives, go to the message input screen and
blank each line, then hit the done icon. The automatic messaging will start again.
7. The sign may or may not go back to automatic messaging after a period of time that is
set by electrical engineering. To ensure the sign has gone back to automatic
messaging, then it’s best to blank each line as per the procedure specified above.
