SIMSII Parts List

This is a comparison from the perspective of the part numbers that were sold for SIMSII and the closest part numbers for GenWatch3 Commander. Remember that these comparisons are derived from many different documents and sources that span years. Some terminology has changed over the years. We have tried our best to capture all information correctly here.

Core Software This is the collection of minimum required modules for Control Channel based GenWatch3®. This can be operated as a Stand Alone GW3 or GW3 Host. This includes: RIMII Input, LaunchPad, Security Manager, License Connection Manager, SysLog, Alias Manager, SystemSummary and All Activity modules. Behind the scenes it also keeps the most recent 2 weeks of RAW control channel data for diagnostic purposes. See below for additional modules. NOTE: The CLIENT version of the CORE consists of LaunchPad, Security Manager, License Connection Manager, SysLog, Alias Manager. See below for additional modules. *A set of Host modules (GW3-H-CORE) must be purchased. ** All Client modules 'look' to the Host for all data.

      RCM COMMENT - The functionality and work flow of all GW3 modules is virtually identical to that of Site Lens. This is by design and at Motorola's request when we created the SIMSII replacement. We have enhanced a few things to make each module work better, but the user will find this to be very comfortable territory.

GW3 AVAILABLE OPTIONS NOT IN THE COMMANDER HOST BUNDLE

(These options can be only added to the GW3-GSP bundle, L3554)

  NOTE: This was NOT included in SIMSII! GW3-CHAN Graphically displays channel status for each channel on the system. Includes window showing all diagnostics and busies. Also includes a window that shows global system settings reported by the Control Channel and system rejects. *Requires all required core modules
---------- TT05154AA GW3-RIMII-ADD1 RF-modem+RIMII - GW3 can handle input from up to 10 RIMIIs (5 systems) simultaneously on a single copy of GW3 with some restrictions. Multiple GW3s can then feed into a single, large database. So, really there is no physical limit on the number of systems that can be monitored simultaneously.

NOTE: If you are purchasing GW3 Commander Host Bundle, it is configured to handle up to 20 systems while listening to only one at a time. This is what we are certified with Motorola to handle. Contact Genesis after your warranty period for operating on additional systems simultaneously.  You will need one GW3-RIMII for each system that you are monitoring and one for each system that you are 'talking to' with RCM activities.
