Setup Sites - Omni 4000 Series Installation Manual

Apply Bar and Title Bar
The upper title bar on the Apply bar shows the name, application type, CPU number and site
name of the flow computer. When the flow computer is online, the title bar is red.
When the flow computer is offline, the title bar is green (Figure 4-4).
If any changes are made to any display screen in OMNICONNECT, the Apply button will activate
in the Apply bar above the screen. Click Apply to save any selections or any edits made to fields
before moving to the next screen. The Cancel button cancels any edits, and the Refresh button
reads information on the page from the flow computer.

4.7.2 Setup Sites

After the OMNICONNECT software is activated, connect the software on your PC to the flow
computer through a selected communication method. Follow the instructions in this section to
configure sites and units within OMNICONNECT to allow access to the flow computers.
If you have previously configured serial or Ethernet ports through the flow
computer's front panel (Section 4.3.1 and 0), you still must create sites to
match them in OMNICONNECT to communicate with those ports, as they are
not created automatically.
Connecting through a Serial Port
To connect through a Serial port, follow these instructions:
1. Click the Home tab on the
OMNICONNECT ribbon.
2. Click the Sites button in the Home ribbon
to open the Setup Sites window.
Unless it was previously deleted, the default serial port site is already listed.
