Once a connection is established, “Connect” will appear for a few seconds along with
the baud rate of the connection. After connecting, the normal Global Logger screen
will appear and operate exactly as if a direct connection was made. All options and
features work the same but at a reduced communication speed.
When connecting the FL16S Data Logger to an external modem, a special cable is
required. Wiring diagrams are provided at the end of this manual and pre-wired
cables are available from Global Water.
The remote modem is configured by setting DIP switches. They should be set to
auto-answer on, DTR Normal, carrier detect normal and smart mode. Global Water
can provide external modems and interface cables at an additional cost if requested.
Contact our sales department for more information.
It may not be necessary to use an initialization string to configure the host modem
but if problems arise the modem should be set with software handshaking off (Xoff),
DTR normal, fixed baud rate, compression off and error correction on. This
configuration is done by building an initialization file using the standard AT
commands and loading it into the connection screen.
