Generating Reports — Reports can be generated dur- ing the Quick Configure (if the box was checked) or can be generated at any time using menu commands. Two types of re- ports can be generated. Information in each report can be cleared separately. Both reports generate text (.txt) files. The default location for reports is C:\Program Files\Configura- tion Program. The RReport.txt file produces a formatted text file which can be viewed using any text reader or word pro- cessing program, for example, Microsoft Word®. The DReport.txt produces a comma delimited ASCII report which can be viewed with any spreadsheet program, for example Microsoft Excel®. It can also be imported into a database pro- gram like Microsoft Access®.
1.Add to an existing report.
a.Select Add To Report from the File menu. The configuration data profile for the attached trans- ceiver is added to the report in the location speci- fied under the Report Settings command.
2.To change report settings.
a.Select Report Settings from the File menu. A dia- log appears showing the settings and location for storage of configuration data profiles.
b.Select the type of report desired or both. See Fig. 13.
Both files generated are ASCII files readable by any text reader. A readable report is formatted in ASCII with spaces and tabs to make it readable when opened in programs such as Notepad.
Comma delimited formatting is useful when you want to import the text into spreadsheet or database programs. Clear the contents of a report by click- ing Clear Report. If you wish reports to be gener- ated when you run Quick Configuration, the Report generation box must be checked.
Click OK.
3.To View reports in ASCII format.
a.Select Report Settings from the File menu.
b.Locate the path to the desired report. You can close this window and the Configuration Manager if desired.
c.Using a text reader such as Notepad or a word pro- cessor, open the file.

d.Select Import From the File menu. The Text Import wizard appears.
e.Import the DReport.txt file.

Serial Settings
NOTE: This unit is factory set for Carrier CCN use. Do not change the unit Serial Settings.
Power Management — Power management features are preset for the Carrier CCN application and do not need to be altered. See Fig. 14 to view power modes.
Passwords and Access
LEVELS OF ACCESS — There are two levels of access: OEM and USER. Each level has access to different sets of fields in the Configuration Manager. A User has the lowest lev- el of access and is only able to change parameters in some of the fields available to OEMs. OEMs have access to all func- tions. See Table 4.
All transceivers are shipped with OEM access. It is up to the administrator to assign user privileges from that point on.
PASSWORDS — Change the password as frequently as you desire. A password consists of any combination of numbers or letters up to 29 characters. Contact Carrier if a new password file is needed. All units are shipped with “oem” as the pass- word. It is recommended for security reasons to change your password from the factory setting.
Depending on access level, you have User or OEM privi- leges. The dialogs that appear and the options available vary by privilege.
NOTE: All units are delivered with OEM privileges.
