FS-8700-103_ATMI_TGM_Serial Manual ATMI TGM Serial Driver Description The ATMI-TGM driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over RS-232 using the ATMI-TGM printer port protocol. This driver connects to an ATMI TGM device using a serial connection. One device may be connected per FieldServer port.
2.2.2. Required 3 The FieldServer’s serial port must be configured to be used as a ‘Console Port’ on the TGM device. The ‘Console Port’ is configurable. At least one of the two serial ports on the TGM device must be configured to enable the ‘Console Port’. This is not always the case when the TGM is shipped.

Appendix B.7. Using the TGM’s Config.dat file to customize malfunctions Copy the TGM’s config.dat file to the FieldServer as a file called atmitgm.ini. When the driver starts it looks for this file and updates the malfunction table based on the malfunction strings found inside the config file.
The following procedure is recommended for synchronizing the FieldServer and the TGM 1. Turn off the FieldServer. Clear all events on the TGM and then restart the FieldServer. With the FieldServer online, cause the TGM to send an RESET ALARMS message to the FieldServer.
