Connection Properties
Information about the current connection can be accessed on the Current Connection
Properties page, which is found under File>Properties (see Figure 4.10).
The page shows the following information about your connection:
˽ Type – Shows the type of connection (serial, modem or Internet). This will say Discon-
nected if the software is not currently connected to a sensor.
Port / Phone # / Address – Displays information about the connection endpoint. This
˽
will vary based on the kind of connection made.
Protocol – Indicates whether sensor is on a multi-drop network or a simple sensor
˽
network.
Response Wait Time – Shows the wait time information for each sensor. The first box
˽
shows the number of milliseconds SmartSensor Manager will automatically wait for
a response from a specific sensor. SmartSensor Manager determines this number by
averaging recent sensor response times, so this number may fluctuate slightly when
the Re-calculate button is clicked. The second box shows the number of additional
seconds you have added under the Advanced Settings page for your connection; this
number can be changed on this screen. The third box shows the total number of sec-
onds SSM will wait for a response. Click the Save As Default button to save the new
settings as default.
Click OK to close the window.
Address Book
The address book can save connection information for both modem and Internet connec-
tions, allowing you to access this information later and connect quickly without reentering
IP addresses, modem numbers and so on.
