Ensure that the OutPutBar is displayed.

SiteIDBar parameters
Local
If the ToolBox computer is locally connected to the IP Gateway, make sure that this parameter
is selected. Note: New site ID (default=1) will be used.
Remote
If you want to configure a remote site, click this parameter.
Site ID, Link ID
If you want to configure a remote site, specify its Site ID, open the Link ID drop-down list and
select the appropriate link ID.
New Site ID
To specify a new site, change the site ID and the system address of the IP Gateway. Enter the
appropriate values in the Site ID field. The default is 1.
The site ID defines the unit's logical address, and it may range from 1 to 65,287.
System Address
To specify a new site, change the site ID and the system address of the IP Gateway. Enter the
appropriate value in the System Address field. The default is 0.
The system address is the physical base address assigned to the whole system, and may range
from 0 to 65,535. The base address is used in broadcast transmissions.
The physical address of each IP Gateway is automatically allocated by ToolBox and by the
control center in the form of <system address> + k where k is the logical address (Site ID) of
the unit. For example, if the system address is 100, then the IP Gateway addresses may be 101,
102, ..., 100+n. If two systems share the same communication radio (over one frequency) and
the first system contains N sites, then the system address of the second system must be defined
as N+50 (50 addresses reserved).
After specifying the IP Gateway in the SiteIDBar, click on the Download icon or select
Download from the File menu. The ToolBox will ask you to specify the communication
password. After the correct password is entered, ToolBox will begin downloading the
configuration file. The download information and status will be displayed in the OutPutBar
Download Tab. At the end of the download operation, the IP Gateway will perform a cold
restart and build the software object entities according to the user's definitions. Once a unit
has been reconfigured and restarted, the port used for configuration may no longer be defined
as RS232 Local Computer port. In this case, connect the ToolBox to another port, defined as
Computer port, in order to proceed with your work. For a local connection to the ToolBox,
there must be at least one port defined as RS232 Local Computer port.
