LaserNET Program User's Guide CHAPTER 3 INITIAL CONFIGURATION INTRODUCTION This chapter explains how to configure LaserNET to communicate with a Direct Connection, Local IIM or Remote IIM. CONFIGURING THE COMPUTER CONNECTION The first step in configuring LaserNET is to specify the type of connection to the computer. 1.
Page 24
LaserNET Program User's Guide COMMUNICATING WITH A REMOTE IIM Before connections can be made to a Remote IIM, the telephone number of the remote IIM must be specified in the machine connected to the IIM. Up to 99 phone numbers can be stored . To add a new Remote IIM to the directory: 1.
Page 25
LaserNET Program User's Guide To edit a Remote IIM listing: 1. Highlight the entry and click on <Edit> (see refer to Figure 3-2). The Edit Directory Item Window (Figure 3-4) displays where changes can be made. Select <OK> to save the changes. Figure 3-4.

Figure 4-3. Miscellaneous Parameters 4-4.1 Wiring Configuration The RS-485 HART XL network can be configured for two styles of supervised wiring. For additional details, refer to the HART XL Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual (TM0042). Style-4. This is the factory default. One pair of wires is run (in a Class-B fashion) from Channel One on the IIM to all of the Detectors.
Page 31
The IIM communicates with all HART XL Detectors over an RS-485 signalling line circuit. This circuit sup- ports up to 127 unique addresses which are used to identify each HART XL Detector. There are hardware and software addresses which must be set for correct operation of the communications network. The soft- ware addresses are stored in the IIM, as explained in the next paragraph.
Page 32
See Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for conditions which initiate Autodial for an IIM. When Autodial is enabled, the Autodial sequence will be initiated if: HART XL Detectors are connected and a Detector alarm or fault occurs. Subsequent Detector alarms or faults will cause the Autodial sequence to repeat if the user has disconnected. ...

LaserNET Program User's Guide Figure 4-6. Configure IIM Window 3. To enable the Autodial function, check Autodial. 4. Enter the phone number of the computer that will be called in the 1 field. A second and third phone number can be entered if desired in fields 2 and 3. Each number can be up to 15 digits long, including commas which designate pauses and dashes which are ignored.
