Chapter 7: Connecting to the
PowerMax Control Panel
Connecting to the PowerMax control panel enables the PowerMax Remote Programmer to
transfer information to and from the control panel. The control panel can be connected by
remote connection (via telephone modem), used when the operator specifies the parameters
off-site, or by local connection (via direct cable), used when the operator specifies the
parameters on-site.
Once connected, it is possible to perform a number of operations, for example, uploading
site parameters, downloading site parameters or changing system date and time.

7.1 Defining Communication Settings

The Communications dialog box enables you to determine the communication settings by
which the PowerMax Remote Programmer and the control panel will communicate.
From the Communications menu, select Settings.
