Panel File Transfers via Modem

In TPDesign4, file transfer operations are typically routed through the Master to which the target/source
touch panels are connected. To use a Modem as the transport type:
1. Select Transfer > Send to Panel or Receive From Panel. If you are not already connected to the
Master, the Connect dialog is invoked.
If you have already established a modem communication configuration, select it from the drop-
down list.
Otherwise, create and save a modem communication configuration via the Connection Settings
dialog:
a. In the Name field, enter a name for this communication configuration. This is the name that will
appear in the drop-down list of the Connect dialog.
b. Select Modem from the Transport drop-down list.
c. Configure the selected modem connection (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow
Control and Phone Number).
The suggested settings are:
These settings must match those of the Modem.
d. Click OK to save the configuration and close the Connection Settings dialog
2. Click Connect in the Connect dialog to establish the modem connection.
3. Once communication is established, either the Send To Panel or Receive From Panel dialog is
invoked (depending on wether you selected Send to Panel or Receive From Panel from the Transfer
menu), displaying an online device tree, indicating all devices connected to the Master that are
currently online (according to the Filter setting). The online device tree lists the online devices by
System #, Device #, Description, (firmware) Version, and Manufacturer.
To refresh the Online Devices Tree, disconnect and reconnect via the commands in
the Transfer menu.
4. Use the Options checkboxes in the Send to Panel or Receive From Panel dialog to enable/disable
the following transfer options:
