TCP/IP Connection
For TCP/IP, enter the IP address of the control system in the Fixed text field to
connect to the control system automatically whenever Viewport is launched.
Alternatively, choose Prompt on Connect to specify the IP address each time a new
connection is established.

Other Settings

The Mode for Network Transfer buttons pertain to the method for uploading
firmware to network devices. In most cases firmware is uploaded via XModem, but
some devices, such as the CNTV, require ASCII uploads. In these cases the Line
Pacing for ASCII Uploads sets the number of milliseconds the Viewport will wait
between sending lines of data during the upload.

Modem Settings

Modem Settings specifies the initialization string that is sent to the PC or control
system modem, to configure and prepare it for use. (The actual dial-up connection is
made using the commands on the Viewport Remotemenu.) Viewport provides
default initialization strings that are standard for most modems; to recall these, click

Restore Defaults.

Enter a time in seconds for the connection to be attempted before hanging up. Click
the Drop DTR check box to close the connection by turning off the Data Terminal
Ready signal. Finally, click Turn Modem Speaker Off to disable the sound of the
modem connection.
Communications Presets
Communications presets are shortcut keys or key combinations that can be used to
specify communications settings automatically. That is, once a preset is configured,
pressing the key combination will set the associated communications parameters (for
either RS-232 or TCP/IP).
Point to Communications Presets and then click Add.
Type a name for the preset, and then select the desired key combination from the
Hotkey drop-down list.
Click the Communication Settings button and set the desired parameters. Click
OK.
Click OK again to exit or to assign another preset.
After a preset is configured it can be deleted or changed by pointing to
Communications Presets and selecting Remove or Modify.
