i. Initialize Remote Modem
Initializing the Remote Modem programs it to communicate with the PC Modem. You must
always initialize the Remote Modem BEFORE you bring it out in the field and connect it to the
remote monitor.
To initialize the Remote Modem to be used by your remote monitor, connect the modem to your
computer. Press the Initialize Remote Modem button. After the modem has been initialized,
disconnect it from the computer. It can now be transported to the field and connected to the remote
monitor.
j. Debug
This command creates or modifies a modem script file. Modems require script files to operate with
the Blastware software. Blastware includes modem script files for various modems. If the list does
not include the modem you use or if you need to modify a script file, use this command.
To create or modify a modem script file, open the Unit Menu and select the Communications
Setup command. Select a modem within the Modem Type Window. Click on the Debug button.
The Modem Debugging Mode dialog box appears. Before editing an existing script file, make a
copy of it to maintain a complete set of unaltered script files.
(1) File
The file menu contains the following commands.
i Load
This command selects a script file for editing. Select the script file corresponding to the
modem type being used. Choose the Generic Modem script file if adding a new type of
modem for use with Blastware.
ii Save
This command saves the script file currently being changed.
iii Save As
This command saves the current script file to a different name than the name displayed within
the Type: window. Use this command to create a new script file for a new type of modem.
