Once your units are networked, you may choose to connect your computer or modem to any one of them.
Commands sent to the site will be directed to the appropriate I/O unit, provided the unit numbers are properly
identified and the G-Bus connections are complete. For dial-out functions, you must enable site dialing for the
unit with the dial-up modem connection, except when you are using a Voice Interface. If a unit does not have a
physical modem connection, leave the Site Dialing fields empty.

CONNECTING TO SITES

Once you set up your site(s), you can connect to a site by highlighting it in the Site List and
clicking the Connect toolbar icon. Once Lynx connects and identifies all the units at your site,
expand the site list to see icons for each I/O and Voice Interface. Remember that VRC2500
systems will display as two units – one I/O and one Voice Interface, even though both
components are integrated on one platform. If you click on an I/O unit icon, you will see all the
metering, status and command channels that you defined for that unit. Because factory new
units ship with no channels set up, the main view will be blank.

To switch between sites and units, just click the desired icon in the Site List.

To disconnect from your site, click the Disconnect icon (

) in the toolbar. To automatically disconnect from the

site after a predetermined amount of time, open the Connection Settings dialog from the Options Menu (under
Tools) or highlight the site in the Site List, choose Connection Settings from the Site menu, and check the
“Automatically Disconnect” box. Enter the desired amount of time.

AFTER SITE SETUP

Once you are connected to your site, you can set up or modify any unit’s configuration settings. The Unit
Configuration menu allows you to set up channel labels, limits, timed events and other unit settings. For site
settings, such as connection setup, site sharing, logging, etc., use the Site Wizard (earlier in this chapter).

To open the Unit Configuration window, select the desired unit in the site list and click the Unit Configuration
icon in the main toolbar. Before configuring your units, you may find it helpful to read the next chapter, which
offers an overview of all the menus and windows available in Lynx. Chapters 4 and 5 provide step-by-step
descriptions of every I/O and Voice Interface configuration option.

If you later add additional I/O or Voice Interface units to an existing GSC3000 site, you can configure each unit
individually on the bench and then take it to the remote site to install. You can use a dial-up or full-time
connection to set up or edit your unit configuration remotely, however changing the unit number must be set via
a direct connection. You must set the unit number for each I/O unit in a GSC3000 site.

When you are finished configuring each unit, go to C

Wiring Interfaces. See Saving and Printing Unit Configurations on page 41.
