Before your PC can communicate with a given 5700i, you must first set up a “con-
nection,” which is information that allows PC Remote to locate and communicate
with the 5700i.
To set up a new connection:
A) Launch 5700iPC.exe.
B) Create a new 5700i connection by choosing N

ONNECT
file
menu or by right-clicking on the
A
LL
C
ONNECTIONS
icon in the Connections List
and selecting N
EW
5700i.
The Connection Properties dialog box opens.
C) Enter an Alias name for your 5700i (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- 39 .
Otherwise, enter a password to allow PC Remote to connect to your 5700i
without requiring a password when the connection is initiated.
To initiate a successful connection, a password must have already been
entered into your 5700i unit.
E) If you are communicating with your 5700i 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 5700i (see step 1 on page 2-45). See also

If you are communicating via a direct serial cable connection or a modem

F) Click OK after entering all required information.
To initiate communication:
Initiate communication by double-clicking on
the desired 5700i alias in the Connections List,
or by selecting the desired 5700i alias from the

drop down menu.
