OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 8685
For successful connection, a password must have already been entered
into your 8685 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 8685 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button. See also
Setting Up Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connec-
tions on page 2- 64 .
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 2-67.
G) Click OK after entering all required information.
To initiate communication:
Initiate communication by double-
clicking on the desired 8685 alias in the
Connections List, or by selecting the
desired 8685 alias from the
C
ONNECT
drop down menu.
•
If a warning message appears
stating: “No password is set at the
8685…” go to your 8685 unit and
create a passcode.
•
If an Enter Passcode dialog box appears, enter a valid passcode and the 8685
PC Remote software will initiate a connection to the 8685 unit.
When run, the Orban PC Remote software installer makes copies of all 8685 fac-
tory preset files on your local hard drive. The PC Remote software reads these
files to speed up its initialization. If any of these files have been deleted or dam-
aged, the PC Remote software will refresh them by downloading them from the
8685. If the PC Remote software needs to do this, it can substantially increase the
time required for the software to initialize, particularly through a slow modem
connection.
When this download is finished, the main meters will appear.
•
A wheel mouse is the quickest and easiest interface to use—you will rarely (if
ever) have to use the keyboard.
•
A bubble containing help about a given control will appear if you drag your
mouse over that control.
