You can add multiple 8600Si to a single group to help organize a net-
work of 8600Si. However, only one 8600Si from within a group can be
connected to 8600Si PC Remote at any one time.
Operation Using the Keyboard
As far as possible, PC Remote uses standard Windows conventions for navigation.
Navigate around the screens using the TAB key. Use CTRL-TAB to move to the next
tabbed screen in PC Remote.
Use the + and – keys or the left and right arrow keys on the numeric keypad to ad-
just control settings.
To Quit the Program
Use standard Windows conventions: Press ALT-F4 on the keyboard, or click the X on
the upper right corner with the mouse.
Also, please note the following behavior:
•
If you close the PC Remote connection from the PC, you will be given the choice
of staying connected through the ppp or disconnecting.
•
If you close the connection from PC Remote but choose not to close the ppp con-
nection, the
E

button will remain displayed on the 8600Si’s front
panel. If you then select that button, the ppp connection will close.
This behavior ensures that a user can tell from the 8600Si’s front panel if
a remote connection is active. A user can disconnect the PC connection at
the 8600Si if he or she wishes. This minimizes the likelihood of some-
one’s leaving a connection open while someone else tries to access that
8600Si.

using Optimod 8600Si PC Remote, your 8600Si is auto-
matically given a 8600Si Alias name to differentiate it from other 8600Si. You can
change the name anytime in the 8600Si Properties window inside 8600Si PC Remote.
When you add a new 8600Si or change the name of an existing 8600Si Alias, an Alias
folder is created in the same location as the executable for Optimod 8600Si PC Re-
mote
(usually \Program Files\Orban\Optimod 8600Si). The folder has the same name
as the Alias name. Once you establish the initial connection to the 8600Si, all presets
for that 8600Si are automatically copied to the Alias folder; thus, the folder contains
all the preset files for that 8600Si, both Factory and User. If you have backed up the
