Modem
The Modem menu selection initiates the Modem
communication dialog screen (Figure 3‑16). This
screen contains the Device, Phone, PC Comm
Port and Modem parameters that are necessary
to setup and communicate with a modem attached
to the host computer and the target M-6280A. This
screen also contains a phone book, selection of
Comm Port or modem and a selection for bringing
up a terminal window after dialing.
TCP/IP
The TCP/IP menu selection initiates the TCP/IP
communication dialog screen (Figure 3‑17). This
screen contains the parameter settings for
communicating with a M-6280A over a network. The
dialog screen also includes provision for adding,
removing, saving, importing, and exporting Address
Book IP addresses.
Optional Bluetooth: The optional Bluetooth
®
(V2.0
+EDR Class 1 Type) provides wireless access to the
M-6280A. With Bluetooth the user is able to
configure the control, read status and metering
values as well as change setpoints. This option can
be field installed. There are two modes of operation
for the Bluetooth:
Mode 0 – The device is discoverable and
connectable to any client station.
Mode 1 – This mode makes the Bluetooth device
in this unit non-discoverable. A computer can only
connect to the control in this mode if the user knows
the Bluetooth device address of the unit indicated
under “
Control BT Device” in the HMI. The user
must also use a SENA Parani SD1000U USB to
Bluetooth adapter. CapTalk will communicate with
the SD1000U (see Figure 3‑18) when using the
Non-discoverable Bluetooth dialog screen and
initiate communications with a control.

NOTE : When using the Parani SD1000U, no
user setup of the device is required,
and the utility provided with the device
is not needed. CapTalk will communicate
directly with the SD1000U when using
the Figure 3-18 dialog screen without
the need to configure it.
Mode 1 has been added to meet CIP requirement.
