Edit Connection Dialog Box - Omnia -6EX / EXi Installation And Operation Manual

The Edit Connection Dialog Box

option will be displayed. Enter required information into each of the configuration boxes.
Edit Connection Menu in Omnia 6 Remote Control
In the left side of the "Edit Connection" window will be the list of any connections that are currently contained in
the 'connect.dat' configuration file. Connect.dat will be created in whatever folder the Omnia remote program is
started from. The specific names in the list are derived from the information that was entered into the "Name:" box
when each connection was first set up. In the Properties Window of the dialog box, it's a good idea to edit the
connection name to match the type of connection you wish to configure. The three available connection types are:
•
via Direct Serial
•
via Modem
•
via TCP/IP Ethernet
Connection names such as "Serial" if using the RS-232 port, "Network" if using the Ethernet port or "Dialup" if
using a modem may be used. This naming convention is not mandatory, but it will help keep things tidy if you
decide to use Omnia 6 Remote Control to connect to several Omnia-6EX units.
(Note: Use New to create any additional connection entries. Use Delete to remove any unused entries. Select any
entry in the connection list to edit its fields. Use Cancel to exit without making changes.)
To set up a connection:
1. Enter the name of the connection in the "Name" box. It is helpful to name the connections you create
according to the Omnia they connect to, or even by the method of connection. For instance, the name box
could contain entries like "WXXX Omnia", "WYYY Omnia", "WXXX Omnia by Modem", WYYY
Omnia by Network", etc.
2. In the password box, enter the login password for the Omnia-6 that you wish to make a connection to. The
factory default password for serial port and modem connections (only) is "tomtom" (all lower case). For
Ethernet remote connections, the passwords are the same as the Omnia-6's front panel passwords. The
factory default for level 3 (full access) is "engineer" (all lower case). If you leave the password box blank,
the Omnia will prompt you for the password each time you try to connect.
