The SLM/Config utility (slm.exe) is a tool to customize the SLM SiteLync
module for an application. Characteristics such as modem properties (ie, county
code, auto-dial mode, dial directories), security callback, hang-up timer, and
auto-dial-out can be specified. The SLM/Config utility is very similar to the
Configure SLTA
selection in the
Devices
menu of SLTALink Manager. Although
either program may be used to configure the SLM SiteLync (in NSI mode), the
SLM/Config utility eases the task of determining the modem initialization string,
allows the configuration choices to be saved to and retrieved from a disk file, and
can be used with the SLM SiteLync in either NSI or MIP mode.
The software driver installation procedure (described in Step 1 of the “Setup and
Operation” section) will place the SLM/Config utility (slm.exe) in the following
directory unless otherwise specified:
C:\Program Files\CTI Products Inc\SLM
If using the SLM SiteLync in NSI mode (local or remote), the link to the SLM
must already be established using SLTA Link Manager before proceeding, see
Appendix A.
Any LonWorks host application (LNS, DOS, or Windows) using the SLM
SiteLync to be configured must be shut down before proceeding. Only one
application using a particular SLM SiteLync (including SLM/Config) may be
running at any one time.
Start the SLM/Config utility by double clicking the file name (slm.exe) in
Windows Explorer. The following startup window will be displayed.
Selecting the LON Channel
From the
LON Device
menu, select the LON channel assigned to the SLM
SiteLync being configured. Up to two LON channels will appear, one for NSI
mode and one for MIP mode, based on channels selected during installation.
