Establishing a New Site
Introduction
This section covers setting up the Maestro software to recognize a new
site and the controllers at that site.
A new site may be established by either of two methods:
•
If the site is not yet functional or the controller is unavailable, it
can still be established by choosing the appropriate controllers
from a pick list displayed by the software. The site parameters can
then be pre-programmed and saved, and when the controller is
available, the parameters can be downloaded to the controller.
•
An existing, functional site can be set up through a direct or
modem connection. When the Personal Computer (PC) and the
controller are connected, the Maestro software detects the
hardware at that site and displays the appropriate screens.
A site needs to be established only once. After a site is established,
Maestro can be used to monitor that site. (See
Connecting to an
Existing Site .)
Once a site has been established, the Maestro software records and
saves the parameter settings, status logs, and alarm logs for that site.
