Make a startup connection to the transmitter

For all configuration tools except the display, you must have an active connection to the
transmitter to configure the transmitter. Follow this procedure to make your first
connection to the transmitter.
Identify the connection type to use, and follow the instructions for that connection type in
the appropriate appendix. Use the default communications parameters shown in the
appendix.
Communications tool
ProLink III
Field Communicator
2.4 (Optional) Adjust digital communications

Change the communications parameters to site-specific values.
Important
If you are changing communications parameters for the connection type that you are using, you will
lose the connection when you write the parameters to the transmitter. Reconnect using the new
parameters.
