MAIN SCREEN

Saving and Retrieving Configurations

A "configuration" is a set of parameters that will be programmed into the CNI2. It is also
referred to as a "template". Once you define a configuration it can be saved by using the FILE
pull-down menu in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. A previously saved configuration
can be opened in the same manner. This is useful if many units are to be programmed with
similar information, such as all using the same destination IP addresses or cellular information.
To start a programming session either OPEN a previously saved template or manually enter all
of the parameters. If you would like to work with the configuration that is already stored in the
CNI2 you can perform a READ operation of the CNI2 with the programming cable installed and
the unit powered up. The status of the operation is displayed on the bottom of the screen. The
CANCEL button will terminate the session in the event there is no response or an error.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Reading the configuration from a CNI2 automatically resets the unit and clears all
accumulated data.

Remote Unit ID (RUID)

Each CNI2 must have a unique six-digit ID number. This is required by the data collection
system. Legal values are 000000-FFFFFF (hexadecimal notation). Sequential numbering is not
required, nor is it necessary to use any of the hexadecimal digits 'A, B, C, D, E, or F'. Typically
if you do not specify the ID number prior to shipment then the CNI2 is shipped with an RUID that
is the last six digits of the serial number located on the front label.

Primary Destination

CSD mode is similar to a dial-up connection on a wired phone line. CSD service is no longer
offered by some cellular service providers. If the CNI2 is allowed to originate a CSD data call to
another modem then it will need the phone number of that modem. Select the "Phone Number"
button and enter up to 32 numeric digits. As with most cellular phones, it is usually necessary to
enter the entire phone number, including area code, even if the call is local. For example in the
U.S., a call to 555-1212 within area code 987 may have to be entered as 19875551212.
If the CNI2 is to communicate via the Internet then it will need the IP address and port number
of the data collection server. Your computer systems administrator usually assigns these
values. Select the "IP Address" button. Then enter the address of the server expressed in
"dotted decimal format", such as 198.32.67.101. The data collection server is usually assigned
a default port number of 50466, but the system administrator can change this. Do not use port
numbers below 1024.
The Primary Destination is used for scheduled calls, consumption-related alarms, page call-
backs, low battery alarms, etc. Any hardware input that has been programmed as an alarm
input can have its own unique destination. This will be discussed shortly.
