To Set Up A New Connection; To Initiate Communication - Orban OPTIMOD-FM 5500 Operation Manual

OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
Before your PC can communicate with a given 5500, you must first set up a "connec-
tion," which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate with
the 5500.

To set up a new connection:

A) Launch 5500PC.exe.
B) Create a new 5500 connection by choosing N
menu or by right-clicking on the A
and selecting N
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 5500 (like "KABC").
D) Leave the password field blank to prompt the user to enter a password when
initiating a connection.
Refer to Security and Passcode Programming on page 2-39.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 5500
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
To initiate a successful connection, a password must have already been
entered into your 5500 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 5500 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
port, and gateway data. Note that these values must agree with the values
that you set in your 5500 (see step 1 on page 2-43). See also Setting Up
Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections on page 2-51.
If you are communicating via a direct serial cable connection or a modem
connection, follow the appropriate procedure described in Appendix:
Setting up Serial Communications, starting on page 2-53.
F) Click OK after entering all required information.

To initiate communication:

Initiate communication by double-clicking on
the desired 5500 alias in the Connections List, or
by selecting the desired 5500 alias from the
