Accessing the FastTrace 'User Settings' menu:
Setup parameters and configuration options for the FastTrace can now be modified via the
User Settings
menu. To
display the menu:
•
Go to the
Connection
menu and click the
Installer Menu
option
For a new FastTrace, a message will appear asking the user to accept the Factory Default settings.
Click
YES
to this question.
The menu consists of a number of major categories, some with a number of sub-categories and option choices.
Selection of a particular category can be expanded by double-clicking on the menu item.
Once the configuration is complete, all changes can be saved using the
Save all changes
button. When saved, the
changes are downloaded to the FastTrace memory for permanent storage.
NOTE
: The setup program will not allow invalid parameters to be saved. For example, should you receive a message
asking for a correct Ethernet Gateway address to be entered, either enter the correct value or delete the invalid entry.
Setting the Operational Parameters:
The FastTrace is factory configured with ‘typical’ operating
values, but to use the FastTrace in an operational
environment, it's configuration must be modified to use the
site names, phone numbers or network addresses that match
the real network.
Once the FastTrace settings have been configured, the
ADPRO FastTrace PC Viewer settings must be updated to
match.
