Chapter 2: Software

Saving and Loading Programming

The programming in your RIM-600 can be saved to a file. This gives you the ability to back up your programming or copy the same programming to another RIM-600 unit. Note that the file you save will not include custom voice files or settings entered through the serial port (network param- eters, web settings, two-way e-mail, RAS, etc.). To save your programming to a file, right-click on the name of your host and select Save Programming.

To load a programming file into your RIM-600, right-click on the name of your host from the menu tree and select Load Programming. Select a programming file to load and click the Load button. Your unit will have to restart for the new programming to take effect. When the unit restarts, you will be logged off. After 10 or so seconds reconnect to the unit.

Reconnecting

At times your PC and RIM-600 Host units may become disconnected. This may happen due to a system restart or other communication-related problem. You can reconnect to a RIM-600 using the Reconnect command. To reconnect to a unit, click on File from the main menu and select Reconnect. Highlight the IP address of the unit you want to reconnect with and then click the Reconnect button.

Recording and Uploading Voice Messages

Custom voice messages can be assigned to many aspects of your RIM-600 system. Voice mes- sages are used during call-in status reports and alarm dial-out. This allows the system to identify and describe exactly where the problem is located, which equipment is affected, or which network device is not functioning. You can assign custom voice messages to the following:

RIM-600 Host {See Host Properties}

RIM-600 Node {See Node Properties}

Each Environmental Input {See Channel Setup} Each IP Alarm {See IP Alarm Setup}

Each PowerGate Device {See PowerGate Setup}

Each PowerGate Outlet {See PowerGate Setup}

Recording Voice Messages

To record voice messages, click on the word Voice from the menu tree. This will display the CustomVoice Manager screen shown below.
