If you are connecting a dial-up modem to the ARC Plus SL, en
ter the modem’s initialization string and connection
speed where prompted. The
Inactivity timeout
determines how long the ARC Plus SL will wait after the last data
exchange before disconnecting a modem connection.
To allow the modem to be used for dial-out notifications and incoming calls, leave the
Dial-out on alarm
and
Answer calls
boxes checked. Disabling these options is a means to turn off the modem functionality for this site.
Checking “Serial port is RS232” enables communication to the ARC Plus v
ia serial port without a dial-up modem.
AUTHORIZATION CODES
When you purchase a license for AutoPilot or SNMP Plus, an authorization code is provided for one ARC Plus unit.
Enter the authorization code where prompted in order to begin using AutoPilot or SNMP Plus with this ARC Plus SL.
The Captures feature is automatically enabled and does not require an authorization code for Version 5 ARC Plus
Touch and SL units manufactured after January 2017.
CAPTURES
The Captures feature, available on ARC Plus SL units with firmware 5.0.8.1 or newer, allows you to configure the
ARC Plus SL to store periodic captures (snapshots) of a specified range of channel values locally on the ARC Plus SL.
These captures can be downloaded later from a remote computer running AutoPilot software. Snapshots include a
timestamp, site, channel number, meter value, status value and alarm states.
For example, you could configure capture data once per hour, but only download it to AutoPilot once per day.
Since the data is stored locally on the ARC Plus, you can continue to perform captures even in the absence of
network connectivity.
Note: Version 5 ARC Plus Touch and SL
units manufactured prior to January
2017 require an authorization code to
enable the Captures feature.
