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 2-42.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 6300
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
For successful connection, a password must have already been entered
into your 6300 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 6300 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
port, and gateway data. These data must agree with the values you set in step
1 on page 2-46. See also Setting Up Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections on
page 2-54.
F) 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 2-55.
G) Click OK after entering all required information.

To initiate communication:

Initiate communication by double-clicking on
the desired 6300 alias in the Connections List, or
by selecting the desired 6300 alias from the
C
ONNECT drop down menu.
If the connection is successful, a dialog bubble
will appear on the bottom right hand corner of
the screen verifying your connection.
 If a warning message appears stating: "No password is set at the 6300..." go
to your 6300 unit and create a passcode.
 If an Enter Passcode dialog box appears, enter a valid passcode and the 6300
PC Remote software will initiate a connection to the 6300 unit.
A window will appear saying, "Connecting to the 6300, please wait." A few mo-
ments later, a new message will appear: "Loading system files, please wait."
When run, the Orban PC Remote software installer makes copies of all 6300 fac-
tory preset files on your local hard drive. The PC Remote software reads these
files to speed up its initialization. If any of these files have been deleted or dam-
aged, the PC Remote software will refresh them by downloading them from the
6300. If the PC Remote software needs to do this, it can substantially increase the
time required for the software to initialize, particularly through a slow modem
connection.
When this download is finished, the main meters will appear.
