Reset a Channel’s Runtime/Time In Alarm/Counter Information
While a dialer is running, each channel records the number of times and the length of time that a
channel has gone into a fault condition. If a particular channel has counts and the entry is
currently connect to its dialer, a box becomes visible under the heading Reset Counts. Clicking
one of these boxes will tell the dialer to zero this channel’s current Counter, Time In Alarm and
Runtime values.
This feature is Password Protected. If the dialer password hasn’t been entered yet this call, MicroWIN
2000 will ask for it. Once entered properly, it won’t be asked for until the next time this entry connects.
Transferring Information With a Dialer
There are five transfer commands near the bottom of this form.
These are selections that allow the user to decide the specific information to be transferred
between the dialer and this entry. Each of these selections shows whether they are selected by
marking the box to the left of the button. Clicking the button toggles whether it is selected or not.
These selections will only be performed once the dialer and MicroWIN 2000 have connected to
one another.
When any one of these becomes marked, this entry is said to be scheduled to perform some
action. If this entry and dialer are not currently connected, MicroWIN 2000 will try to connect to
this entry’s dialer. If all communication channels are currently being used (i.e., no free modems),
then this entry will wait until one becomes free. Once connected to the dialer, the selected
actions will be performed.
All actions clear themselves once they have been completed except for the RealTime selection.
If at any time all these actions are unselected, this entry will disconnect from its associated dialer.
RealTime
When selected, this entry will receive a steady stream of Realtime Status information from the
dialer. When it receives new data for the viewed entry, it will update the Realtime Data form.
Snapshot
When selected, this entry will record one snapshot of the status information into the Snapshot
database. Once completed, it will unselect this selection. Move to the Snapshot Menu to view
these recorded channel snapshots.
Archives
When selected, it will mark all of this entry’s channels to download all newly recorded archives from
the dialer. Once all archives have been received, it will unselect itself. Move to the Archive Menu
to select individual channels to download or to view the downloaded archives.
Get Config
When selected, the Send/Receive Menu (see next page) will be displayed. This will ask for
which information to receive from this entry’s dialer to this entry. After selecting the desired
information, click the Receive Button and MicroWIN will transfer over the selected information.
When finished with the transfer, it will unselect this setting.
