CONTINUED Run the CalGrafix Program (continued) 4. A graphic of the 4857 Control Module will be displayed. The base module is illustrated in the center with modules 1-4 on either side. The 4857B will have two graphics displayed instead of one.
CONTINUED Factory Defaults Restoring the 4857 to it factory defaults is relatively simple. There are is a file on the 521M CD which may be copied to the PC at "\Factory Defaults\factorydefaults.dev". Opening the .dev file with CalGrafix will restore the controller settings in the 4857 Process Controller.
Setting the Active COM Port In some instances (such as restoring Factory Defaults) it is necessary to instruct the PC which COM port to use for connection to the 4857. You will need Administrator privileges in order to set the active COM port.
