OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 9400
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 9400
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
To initiate a successful connection, a password must have already been
entered into your 9400 unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 9400 through a network, select the
Ethernet radio button and enter the appropriate IP address, subnet mask,
port, and gateway data. Note that these values must agree with the values
that you set in your 9400 (see step 1 on page 2-47). See also
Setting Up
Ethernet, LAN, and VPN Connections on page 2-54.
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 2-59.
F) Click OK after entering all required information.
To initiate communication:
Initiate communication by double-
clicking on the desired 9400 alias in the
Connections List, or by selecting the de-
sired 9400 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 9400…”
go to your 9400 unit and enter a passcode.

If an Enter Passcode dialog box appears, enter a valid passcode and the
9400 PC Remote software will initiate a connection to the 9400 unit.
A window will appear saying, “Connecting to the 9400, please wait.” A few mo-
ments later, a new message will appear: “Updating local files.”
When run, the Orban PC Remote software installer makes copies of all 9400 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
9400. 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.
The help box at the bottom of the screen always presents a short help message
for the function you have selected.
