5.6 Troubleshooting a Configuration
The built-in Register View utility is found in the DXM Configuration Tool under the Register View tab. When a
configuration is running on the DXM Controller, this utility can read or write Local Registers to help understand application
operation. The utility can also access data from remote devices, making it easier to troubleshoot a configuration.
Local Registers can be configured to show register data on the LCD menu. This is another method to view Local Register
data without having the controller connected to a PC. On the Local Registers tab, set the read permissions on each
register to be display on the LCD.
5.6 Saving and Loading Configuration Files
The DXM Configuration Tool saves its configuration information in a XML file. Use the File menu to Save or Load
configuration files. Make sure to save the configuration file before attempting to upload the configuration to the DXM
Controller. The DXM Configuration Tool uploads the configuration file saved on the PC to the DXM Controller; it will not
send the configuration loaded in the tool.
5.6 Uploading or Downloading Configuration Files
The DXM Controller requires a XML configuration file to become operational. To upload or download configuration files,
connect a computer to the DXM Controller using the USB port or Ethernet port. Then use the Upload Configuration to
Device or Download Configuration from Device under the Device menu.
5.7 DXM Cellular Modem
The DXM cellular modem provides a remote network connectivity solution for the DXM Controller.
To use the cellular modem, first configure the DXM Controller to use the cellular network as the external network
connection. Verify the cellular modem is installed and the correct antenna is connected to the cellular antenna port.
5.7 Configure the DXM Controller for a Cellular Modem
Use the DXM Configuration Tool to create a configuration using a cellular connection. Under Settings > Cloud Services,
define the Network Interface as Cell to have all push data, SMS messages, or email alerts to be sent using the cellular
modem. The Cloud Push settings and the Webserver settings are required if the DXM Controller is sending data to a
webserver.
When the DXM Controller is configured to use the cellular modem, the information on the cellular modem is found on the
LCD menu under System Info > Cell. The menu does not display values until a transaction with the wireless cell tower is
complete. If there are no webserver parameters defined, the user must force a push to retrieve the data from the cellular
network. On the LCD menu, select Push > Trigger Data Push.
