Key Concepts
Connection Types
Dial Connection
Uses the modem on your computer to communicate via phone lines
with the modem attached to the ACT2 controller network.
Direct RS-485 or TCP/IP Connection
A local connection that uses a cable to directly connect your computer
to either the ACT2 controller or a ProLink, which is connected to the
ACT2 controller.
Off-Line Connection
The computer and the ACT2 controller do not communicate. The
Maestro software can only retrieve, display, and modify the existing
ACT2 controller information on the computer’s hard disk. (Later,
when a Dial or Direct connection is made, Off-Line modifications can
be downloaded to the ACT2 and it’s status can be updated to the
computer hard drive.)
Passwords
The default log on password when Maestro is installed is ABC. See
the
Changing a Password with the Maestro Software to modify an
existing password.
