To Set Up A New Connection; To Initiate Communication - Orban OPTIMOD-FM 8500S Operating Manual

OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
Before your PC can communicate with a given 8500S, you must first set up a "con-
nection," which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate
with the 8500S.

To set up a new connection:

A) Launch 8500SPC.exe.
B) Create a new 8500S connection by choosing N
menu or by right-clicking on the A
and selecting N
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 8500S (like "KABC").
D) Leave the password field blank to prompt the user to enter a password when
initiating a connection.
Refer to Security and Passcode Programming on page 2-39.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your
8500S without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
To initiate a successful connection, a password must have already been
entered into your 8500S unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 8500S through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
port, and gateway data. Note that these values must agree with the values
that you set in your 8500S (see step 1 on page 2-44). See also Setting Up
Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections on page 2-59.
If you are communicating via a direct serial cable connection or a modem
connection, follow the appropriate procedure described in Appendix: Set-
ting up Serial Communications, starting on page 2-61.
F) Click OK after entering all required information.

To initiate communication:

Initiate communication by double-clicking on
the desired 8500S alias in the Connections List,
or by selecting the desired 8500S alias from the
drop down menu.
