Address Book for Modem EntriesFigure 4.12 –

Use the buons in the address book to work with entries and make connections:

Select –



Selects an entry to use to connect. When you have chosen the

entry you would like to use to connect, highlight it in the list and click

Select. This will close the address book and enter the desired information

into the connection page.

Note

When accessing the Address Book screen using the menu options, the

Select buon is disabled. You will be able to edit the address book entries,

but will not be able to connect unless you use the Modem or Internet

Connection Screens.

New –



Creates a new entry. Select New and enter the desired information.

In a modem connection, this is the phone number of the modem, the sensor

ID number and a description of the connection for your own information.

If you are adding an Internet connection entry, you have two options for

the address: an IP address or a domain name. With both options you must

also specify the TCP port number. If you use a domain name, the domain

name must be entered as the IP alias and you should not enter an IP

address, since the domain name may resolve to one or more dynamic IP

addresses. When you enter both an IP address and an IP alias, SmartSensor

Manager will add an entry to the Windows HOSTS le on your computer.

In this case, the IP alias can be a simple text string (or a domain name that

is tied to a xed IP address). You may want to use a simple text string to

help identify IP addresses that do not have a domain name.
