1.8 General Rules and Tips for Using the Remote Monitor

The Remote Monitor is designed for easy setup, configuration, monitoring, and management of the Access Bank II. Following certain rules and tips will ensure more reliable results. The following sections describe these rules and tips.

Be sure you have the correct product selected before you begin making screen changes, or you will have to begin the changes again. The Remote Monitor, when started, defaults to the Access Bank II product.

1.8.1Reading and Sending Screens

Send all screens to unit. Click on this icon to send all data from Remote Monitor to your Access Bank II unit.

Read all screens from unit. Click on this icon to read all data on your Access Bank II and display it in Remote Monitor.

Send all flagged screens to unit. Click on this icon to send all of the screens you’ve flagged in Remote Monitor to your Access Bank II.

Clear all flags. Click on this icon to clear all flags in Remote Monitor without sending the flagged screens.

Send current screen to unit. Click on this icon to send the data on the current Remote Monitor screen to your Access Bank II.

Read current screen from unit. Click on this icon to read the data for the current Remote Monitor screen from your Access Bank II.

Reading screens means loading information displayed on the current configurable screens, and some non-configurable information, from the Access Bank II into the Remote Monitor. Sending screens means downloading the information displayed on the current or flagged configurable screens from Remote Monitor into the Access Bank II.

When reading screens from the Access Bank II or sending screens to the Access Bank II, canceling the transfer can result in a partial transfer and a corrupted configuration. If this occurs, redo the correct read or send operation to clear up the problem.

When changing screens, it is often best to change all the screens you want to change before sending screens to the Access Bank II. Some screens are interactive with others (specifically the Static Connection, Channel/Signal Type, and V.35 Data screens in the Connections group), and must be read or sent together.
