Network Configuration: Used to set the IP address and other network parameters of the
Industrial Mux. This selection is only needed for configuring over a particular network, if
you are only connecting to a single computer, this feature is not needed. Figure A-12 shows
the Network Configuration sub-menu.

•
Analog Output Enabled / Disabled: This shows the current status of the Analog Output. If
Analog Output Enabled (Factory Default) is displayed, than the outputs are currently
Enabled.
•
Pyrometer Supply Voltage (mV): This is the voltage that supplies power to each Exactus
pyrometer. Please consult with the factory before adjusting this value; otherwise it should be
left at the default value of 6000mV (suitable for pyrometer power/communications cables up
to 15 meters long).
•
Alarm Configuration: Used to configure the alarms for individual pyrometers. More detail is
provided in the following section.
•
Factory Defaults: Restores all settings to the Factory Defaults but you must follow this with
Save Changes.
•
Save Changes: Saves all settings to their current values and reboots the Industrial Mux. After
saving, a message will be displayed saying ‘rebooting’. You may now end the
HyperTerminal session. If more changes are needed, you will have to click the disconnect
icon followed by the connect icon to reestablish the connection; these icons are located at the
top of the HyperTerminal display.
Options for Alarm Configuration:
Selecting Alarm Configuration from the User Interface Menu will bring up the Alarms menu,
shown in Figure A-14. Selecting option one brings up the Pyrometer Ambient configuration
setup screen shown in Figure A-14; this screen allows a user to define the allowable ambient
operating temperatures for individual pyrometers. Alarm temperatures can be individually
configured for each pyrometer, as can the action which will occur should the pyrometer’s
ambient temperature goes outside the allowable range. When the Powerdown option is chosen
for an instrument, and the condition occurs, all pyrometers connected to the Industrial Mux will
be powered off. The user must cycle the power to the Mux in order to reset the pyrometers.
