Local Modem Seings –

The initialization string and auto-nd command
can be entered in their respective text elds in the Local Modem Seings
section. The Restore Defaults buon will return these functions to their
default seings. The port number and baud rate will be automatically
detected by SmartSensor Manager, so these seings cannot be changed.
Additional Response Wait Time –

By default, SmartSensor Manager waits
a few milliseconds to receive a response from the sensor before timing out
and displaying a communication error message. You can add additional
milliseconds to the response wait time to give the program more time to
make a connection. Click the Use an additional: check box to activate the
milliseconds text eld and enter the number of additional milliseconds
SmartSensor Manager should wait for a response from the sensor.
SmartSensor Network Protocol –

These options can be used to identify
sensors that are part of a multi-drop network. The Simple protocol option
refers to sensors that are not part of a multi-drop environment. If the
sensor is part of a multi-drop network, SmartSensor Manager can either
auto-detect the multi-drop ID, or you can enter the four-digit ID. Clicking
the Use Multidrop Protocol… Connect Directly to ID: radio buon will
activate the text box so you can enter the ID number.
Time Synchronization –

Click the check box to have SmartSensor
automatically synchronize with the PC clock.
Click the check box near the boom of the Advanced Connection Seings page
to use the new seings as default. The OK buon saves the new seings and
the Cancel buon cancels the changes; both buons return you to the Modem
Connection page. The new seings will be displayed in the message bar at the
boom of the page.
