RFwiz Icon    The RF DB Entry Wizard used to edit/assign items and receivers for ButtonIO applications. 
The RFwiz application is used with the ButtonIO applications (RFIDIN & ButtonIO).   This application is a "Wizard" application which makes it very easy to assign and manage buttons, items and locations used with the ButtonIO applications.  

It is suggested that the AddList utility be used to define the Residents (Items) and the Home Locations (Apartments) before using this application.  Select the following to see sample AddList screens for the above definitions.   Before using the RFwizard the default ranges must be specified using the Ranges definition tab.  A typical Ranges screen is shown below.

This application will typically appear as seen below when waiting for an RF button to be pressed (RFIDIN) must be enabled to send to the RFwiz application).

When a button is pressed, RFwiz will either indicate that it is a new button, or show the old button data for editing.  The following is what is seen when a new button is pressed.

Clicking on the Add Command button displays the available data entry fields.

In the example below, we have selected Item Id 100 to be used with this button. The name associated with this item should be changed to the name of the resident that is assigned this button.  This may not be possible when a system is setup initially, so the RFwiz can be used later to change the name assigned to a button at any time.

The home receiver is the RF receiver that is closest (most likely to see a button pressed when a resident is in their own apartment).  These receivers can be defined on the RFwiz Ranges screen or by using the "Add New" Home Receiver command button.

Finally the resident's home location should be selected.  These Home Locations (apartments) can be defined via the AddList Utility or by using the "Add New" Home Location command button.

If the button being defined is a fixed, in-room emergency, call-pull-cord the Auto Add Reset Definition selection box should be selected.

The RF wizard also provides for simple reporting to verify system setup and for system test.  The Data screen provides access to these capabilities.  This screen is seen below.
