Communications Application Note
B–7
If the modem you are using requires a unique set of configuration
commands, a modem configuration file with the name MODEM.CFG must
be created and placed in the SP directory. This file may be created using any
ASCII text editor; however, a quick way to create the file is to use a simple
DOS line editor. This can be run by using the following DOS command:
TYPE CON MODEM.CFG <Enter>
The operator should then type in the sequence of modem commands
necessary to configure the device. The device must be configured to provide
the functionality outlined in Chapter 3, ‘‘Installation.” Refer to the manual
for the modem to determine the communications commands necessary to
perform the configuration.
!
ATTENTION: It is extremely important that information is
entered correctly into the MODEM.CFG file. Any errors may
incorrectly configure a modem, which may cause malfunctions
when running the Powermonitor Software.
When the complete string has been entered, press:
Ctrl + Z
to escape from the DOS line editor.
Save the MODEM.CFG file in the SP directory. When the Powermonitor
Software is run, and either of the MODEM options is selected in the
CONNECTION screen, the Powermonitor Software will use the data found
in the MODEM.CFG file to configure the connected modem(s).
