Lower Power Consumption
The options in the Power Enable group allow you to shut the power supply to
some parts of the DataSite controller to lower power consumption.
Follow these steps to lower power consumption.
1. Under Power Enable in the FLO Communication dialog box, clear the
check boxes for the parts that can go to sleep:
• COM1 port
• Ethernet port
• LED indicators
2. Click Download.
The settings are applied to the DataSite controller.
Set the Resource Number (Optional)
The resource number is required by DataSite Workbench and DataSite Screen
Builder to identify resources when the DataSite controller is binding with
other controllers. Each controller should have a unique resource number in the
binding group. For details on the resource number, refer to the DataSite
Workbench User’s Guide.
Follow these steps to set the resource number.
1. In the Resource Number box, enter an integer for a resource.
2. Click Download.
The setting is applied to the DataSite controller.
IMPORTANT
If you are still using a port, do not clear its check box under
Power Enable. Otherwise, communication may be
interrupted. For example, when the DataSite controller is
communicating via the Ethernet port, do not shut the
power supply of the Ethernet port.
