Appendix A. Frequently Asked
Questions
A.1 Setup, Connect, and Status
The default modem will not work, and my modem is not in the list of
modems. How do I add it?
Select a modem similar to yours. Edit the modem name. When this field is
changed, a new entry is created in the WMODEM3.INI file in the working
directory. Edit the other strings as needed. The changes are saved as the fields
are edited. (See Appendix B.)
How do I delete a modem entry I no longer need?
Delete the Modem Name parameter to delete the entry.
How do I select (or deselect) a non-contiguous set of Input Locations to
monitor?
Select the first location or group of contiguous locations (click or drag). Then,
while holding down the <Ctrl> key, select the rest. The same technique can be
used to deselect locations (including the last highlighted location).
My radio network uses repeaters. How do I enter them on the DEVICE
MAP screen?
Repeater only sites are not added on the DEVICE MAP screen. Datalogger
sites that also function as a repeater are only entered once as a datalogger site
(attached to the RF base). To use a repeater, enter its ID as part of the Dialed
using RF95 Path parameter on the HARDWARE tab for the remote
datalogger. For example, “ 10 32F” would call address 32 using 10 as the
relay. It doesn’t matter if 10 has a datalogger at the site or not.
Why do I have to change my base MD9 address to 255?
With the address at 255, PC208W can provide better information about the
success or failure of an attempt to dial the MD9 network. This leads to better
messages and more reliable operation. Field MD9 addresses do not have to be
changed. See Appendix B.3.
I simply must have more than one network of dataloggers. How can I do
it?
Normally all dataloggers can be considered as part of a single network, even if
you use the same COM port for different devices. For example, you can call a
remote datalogger using a telephone modem attached to COM1 and then
disconnect the phone modem and connect the same COM1 directly to a local
datalogger. This is still considered a single network. You just attach two
devices to COM1 and realize that both cannot be used at the same time. You
