Rain Bird Freedom System for Maxicom2, User Manual, Page: 79 / 208

To set up a site in your Maxicom
2
system, you must describe the site to Maxicom
2
,
or “set the site’s properties.” This chapter describes how to set the properties that
are required to operate the site.
Many of Maxicom 2 ’s features and benefits are dependent upon the detail and
accuracy of the site information you enter. Therefore, it is important that you enter
accurate information about site characteristics.
There are two ways to set site properties:
• You can set site properties by using the Site wizard, which guides you through a
series of steps in which all required properties are set. The wizard presents each
property to you, gives an explanation of the property, and a default value. You
can move forward or backward within the wizard, or even cancel the wizard at
any time. The Site wizard runs automatically when you select the New option
from the Site menu. If you already have a site open, you can run the wizard for
the currently active Site window by selecting the Configure option from the Site
menu.
• You can set site properties by using the Site Properties Setup dialog box. The
Site Properties Setup dialog box contains more properties than the Site wizard
outlines for you. Even if you use the Site wizard to set site properties, you will
need to set some properties from the Site Properties Setup dialog box.
Each way to set site properties is described in this chapter.
