PanelView Plus 6 Terminal

Access to the Desktop

All terminals are initially shipped with desktop access disabled. To use the
terminal with the PowerFlex 7000 Medium Voltage Drive, the Desktop must be
accessible.

To access the desktop:

1.

Select ‘Terminal Settings’ – F4.

2.

Select ‘Desktop Access Setup’ and press Enter.

3.

Set the ‘Desktop Access’ – F2 to ‘Allow’.

The required default password is “password”, (case sensitive).

The default challenge question, “What is the opposite of lock?” is
answered with “unlock”, (case sensitive).

4.

Once the Desktop access has been set to ‘allow’, select OK>Close>Exit to
access the Windows CE Desktop.

Network Connection

When the terminal is connected to a network which has a DHCP Server to
assign an IP Address, this network configuration is not necessary. Otherwise, a
static IP Address may need to be assigned to the terminal.

A terminal which is configured to obtain a network address from a DHCP
Server eventually defaults to an address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx block of addresses
if no DHCP Server can be found. The process can take a considerable period of
time, (up to 2 minutes). Refer to the

Quick Start Application on page 9

for more

information.

To change the IP address of the Terminal from the Desktop:

1.

Select Start>Settings>Control Panel.

2.

Click “Network and Dialup Connections” (

Figure 75

).
