Chapter 7: Connecting to the Control Panel
Connecting to the PowerMax/PowerMaster control panel enables the Remote
Programmer to transfer information to and from the control panel. The control
panel can be connected by remote connection (via telephone modem), used when
the operator specifies the parameters off-site, or by local connection (via direct
cable), used when the operator specifies the parameters on-site.
Once connected, it is possible to perform a number of operations, for example,
uploading site parameters, downloading site parameters or changing system date
and time.
7.1 Defining Communication Settings
The Communications dialog box enables you to determine the communication
settings by which the Remote Programmer and the control panel will communicate.
From the Communications menu, select Settings.
