Configuring a Site
Start the EasyView program by selecting its icon. Once started, you will enter the Default
screen. This is where the system alarms, warnings, and site descriptions are displayed. To
configure a site, press the F11 key from this screen, or select Setup Sites from the Options
menu. The Site List popup screen is displayed.
On this screen, hit the Add button and then the Modify button.
On the Description field, type in an identifier, e.g., CPS6000 Controller Connection. Then
select Set Default Passwords button. To view controller status information without being able
to change any settings, select User in the Connect Password field. If you will be changing
parameters, select Super User. Super-users have configuration privileges.
Serial Port Setup
This selection defines the entire connection method except for password. If a suitable Serial
Port Setup choice is not listed, you must define one by:
Clicking on Show Serial Port Setups.
Clicking on Add.
Clicking on Modify.
You will be making a direct connection to the CPS6000 controller. Look for the Set Default
Values for: field and hit either Com 1 direct, Com 2 direct, Com 3 direct, or Com 4 direct
depending on which communications port you will be using to connect to the controller.
Hitting the button will automatically set all other parameters for you. Hit the OK button to
exit this field. Hit OK again to exit the Site field. Then hit the Close button.
Connect to Site
To connect to the CPS6000 controller, hit F12 or from the Connect menu, select the Connect
to Site option. You may now select one of the listed sites. EasyView will start the connect
process and display the commands it is sending to the CPS6000 controller and responses it is
getting back. When the connection process is completed, EasyView will obtain the alarms
and warnings of the CPS6000 controller and display them on the default screen.
