System Configuration
Step 7
Configuring the WellTell-X
In a similar fashion to configuring the meters for the COM 2 port, the user
must also configure the WellTell-X radio.
To configure the WellTell-X (or the WellTell-IS) radio, the user must have
the WellTell Wireless Utility (WWU) program and a typical 9-pin to 9-pin
(male DB9 to female DB9) cable. The cable connects between a laptop
and the maintenance connector of the WellTell-X.
7A
Configure the WellTell-X security. WWU supports two levels of
Access: Restricted Use and Admin (lower left side on the
System Config tab). Restricted Use gives the user access to
the basic setup parameters that are most often used (i.e.,
Network ID, FR Channel, etc.). Lesser used parameters (i.e.,
Encryption Key, Range Refresh, etc.) are grayed out, if
Restricted Use is selected. Normal setup does not require
Restricted Use. These lesser parameters can be accessed
through Admin. Admin is achieved by entering the password.
The factory password is 0000.
As opposed to providing an in-depth, screen-by-screen explanation of
the WWU, the opening screen is presented to the user along with
references to the various available tabs that contain relevant parameters
on each of the corresponding screens (see Figure 10).
