OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 6300
Before your PC can communicate with a given 6300, you must first set up a “connec-
tion,” which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate with
the 6300.
To set up a new connection:
A) Launch 6300PC.exe.
B) Create a new 6300 connection by choosing
N
EW
6300
from the
C
ONNECT
file
menu or by right clicking on the A
LL
C
ONNECTIONS
icon in the Connections List
and selecting N
EW
6300.
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 6300 (like “KABC”).
D) Leave the password field blank to prompt the user to enter a password when
initiating a connection.
Refer to Security and Passcode Programming on page 2-32.
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 6300
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
For successful connection, a password must have already been entered
into your 6300 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 6300 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
port, and gateway data. These data must agree with the values you set in step
1 on page 2-36. See also
Setting Up Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections on
page 2- 44 .
F) If you are communicating via a direct serial cable connection or a modem
connection, follow the appropriate procedure described in
Appendix: Setting
up Serial Communications, starting on page 2-47.
G) Click OK after entering all required information.
To initiate communication:
Initiate communication by double-clicking on
the desired 6300 alias in the Connections List, or
by selecting the desired 6300 alias from the
C
ONNECT
drop down menu.
If the connection is successful, a dialog bubble
will appear on the bottom right hand corner of
the screen verifying your connection.

If a warning message appears stating: “No password is set at the 6300…” go
to your 6300 unit and create a passcode.
