Starting the RIM-600 ConsoleView Software

Double-click the RIM-600 icon to start the RIM-600 ConsoleView Software. The software will automatically try to connect to all RIM-600 Hosts that have been configured. If this is the first time you are running the software, you will need to create an Enterprise Group and add a Host within each Enterprise. (See Configuring Hosts and Nodes)

Configuring Hosts and Nodes

Setting Up An Enterprise

An Enterprise Group comprises a RIM-600 Host, any RIM-600 Nodes connected to that Host, and all of the environmental inputs connected to these units, regardless of proximity to the Host.

Note: Before setting up your Enterprise software, you must have locally configured your Host and Node units—which is where you assign the Host its IP address. If you have not done this, the ConsoleView software will not be able to locate your Host. If you are connecting to your Host through a dialup connection, be sure to establish a PPP connection before running the software. (See Remote Login via Dialup) See the sections in your Host and Node Manuals on Local Configuration.

To get started, double-click on the RIM-600 software icon. This will bring up the RIM- 600 ConsoleView Screen.
