3.2.4 Remote connecting to devices which are using the TELLMon protocol
This connection type can be used if the ecoLINE PRO
device you wish to connect remotely
to, is connected to a TELLMon receiver and the device is configured to communicate with
the TELLMon receiver using the TELLMon protocol.
With this connection type, connection between the device and the
ecoLINE PRO
programming
software can be established through the receiver where the device is online.
Device password
: the security password of the device (default superadmin password:
1234
).
Receiver
: the name of the receiver where the device is online. The receiver availabilities should
be recorded in advance in the “
Server register
” menu.
Device ID
: the device identifier of the
ecoLINE PRO
device to which you wish to connect to.
The format of this unique, burned-in during production and thereby unchangeable device identifier
used for the TELLMon protocol is:
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
(6x2 hexadecimal characters).
Connecting to the device through a receiver which uses the TELLMon protocol:
Select the “
TELLMon
” option in the “
Connection type
” section.
If you have registered the device in the "
Device register
" menu, select the device you want
to access from the "
Device Name
" drop-down menu, or select the receiver where the
device is online, from the “
Server
” drop-down menu, and enter the device identifier in the
“
Device ID
” field, and the connection password in the “
Device password
” field. The
rec
eiver availabilities should be recorded in advance in the “
Server register
” menu.
Connection password:
o
Super administrator permission: full access to all settings. (Default password:
1234
).
o
Installer permission: can only access settings enabled by the super administrator. The
installer password should be configured separately (see chapter “
o
Connecting remotely without a password is not possible.
Click on the “
Connect
”
button.
The ecoLINE PRO
device that communicates using the TELLMon protocol is not
online continuously. The device connects to the receiver only when it sends
a supervision or event message, therefore after clicking the “Connect” button, you
have to wait until the device next connects to the receiver for sending a supervision
or event message. This is when the programming software will have possibility to
connect to the device. Therefore, if the device is configured to rarely send
supervision messages towards the TELLMon receiver, in this case the programming
software will be able to connect to the device after a long time only (depending on
the interval of supervision message sending).
The connection status is indicated by the status icon in the top left corner of the program
window:
disconnected (green)
connected (gray)
