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, connect to the device and launch the initial setup wizard.
