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., Millennium II 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 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 Millennium II 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 controller and responses it is getting back. When
the connection process is completed, EasyView will obtain the alarms and warnings of the
controller and display them on the default screen.
