Sites ______________________________________________________________________ 4-3
The New Site dialog box has two tabs:
Work Online: Enables direct operation with the control panel via a serial port or telephone
modem.
Work Offline: Enables defining and changing parameters offline and at a later time
downloading these parameters to the control panel.
By default the New Site dialog box opens with the Work Online tab open.
Note:
It is recommended to work online when creating a new site file, so that the software
will communicate with the control panel and will automatically select the suitable
PowerMax model.
