REMOTE PROGRAM STORAGE OPERATION
The remote storage feature is used to download and upload part programs using a
serial port. It works in conjunction with dedicated software running on a host
computer. The following information describes the new VRO 300 operations
needed to support remote storage.
Configuring the VRO 300 Serial Port
Serial port configuration is done from Installation Setup. The form below is used
to set up the function and protocol of the serial port.
The serial port can be disabled or configured to operate as a printer port, a bi-
directional link to a computer, or a remote storage port. As a REMOTE
STORAGE port, the VRO 300 will interact with the remote storage software
running the host computer to transfer part programs.
Pressing the DONE softkey returns you to Installation Setup accepting all changes
to the serial port configuration. Pressing the CANCEL softkey returns you to In-
stallation Setup without accepting any changes to the serial port configuration.
