Step 1: Project configura-
tion
In the case of the line structure wizard, you first need to determine how many devices are
to be connected (3 to 255 devices supported). In the case of the point-to-point wizard, two
devices are connected to each other.
Select a file name and storage location for the configuration file. The extension of the proj-
ect file is *.dat.
Click on the "....\" button and select a storage location. The default file name is "NewPro-
ject.dat" and can be changed.
You can save the file at any time via the "File, Save" menu. Otherwise, the file will be
saved once the wizard is finished.
A file that is not yet saved is indicated in the title bar with an *.
Step 2: Assign device
names
Each device already has a name (Device 1, Device 2, etc.). You can select a device by
clicking on it or using the "Last device"/"Next device" buttons and assign a new name, e.g.
"Modem A" or "Pumping station". The name can contain 255 characters including special
characters.
