Establishing a Connection and Launching the
Setup Wizard
CAUTION
When making multiple FBxConnect connections to the same device (as with a remote and a local
connection), be aware that the changes one connection makes to the device may not be
immediately visible to other connections and may even require the other connections to restart
FBxConnect before changes become visible. For example, simple changes (such as changes to
setpoints) may be immediately visible to all connections, but changing the number of meters,
configuring I/O, adding/deleting menu items, or other major configuration changes may require
re-establishing the connection using FBxConnect.
After you start Field Tools, you connect to the device and launch the initial setup wizard.
