At any point while using OMNICONNECT, you may press
F1
on your keyboard
to access OMNICONNECT Help. This gives more detailed descriptions of each
tree item and screen. Your cursor must be on the tree item or screen of interest
to open the corresponding help information.
3.1
Communications
After the OMNICONNECT software is activated, connect the software on your PC to the flow
computer through a selected communication method.
If you have previously configured Serial or Ethernet ports through the flow
computer’s front panel (see Section 4.3 Configuring Communications Ports
(Front Panel) in the Installation Guide), you still must create sites to match them
in OMNICONNECT to communicate with those ports, as they are not
created automatically.
See Section 4.7.2 Setup Sites in the Installation Guide for instructions on how
to configure sites and units within OMNICONNECT to allow access to the flow
computer or access the OMNICONNECT Help File under the How To section.
3.2
Security
See Section 4.8 Security Setup in the Installation Guide for further instructions
on how to configure user permissions and port security, if needed.
3.2.1 Enter Password
The password window appears when connecting to an OMNI flow computer from
OMNICONNECT or OMNIPANEL. Click the drop-down arrow and select your
Administrator-assigned User ID from the list of available names. Enter your password and
press OK.
