Configuring PanelView Terminals

Publication 2711E-6.17 – November 1998

For DH+ or ControlNet, you must specify communication
parameters and the terminal’s network address in
PanelBuilder — your terminal will accept those parameters by
default.

Setting Address Source

To do a DH+ Direct or ControlNet Direct transfer, you must choose
either Application or Network Direct as the Address Source. The
first time you enter this screen, the default is Application.

Application — When you choose Application for DH+ or
ControlNet, all the configuration parameters are taken from the
currently-selected application file. This is the default setting.

Network Direct —When you choose Network Direct, the
configuration parameters for the application file are disabled, and
you have to enter the parameters manually.

Important:

After a successful download of an application file over
DH+ or ControlNet, the terminal automatically resets
the Address Source to Application, uses the application
file parameters, and discards the Manual Address
parameters.

To select the network type for direct application file transfers:

1. In the PanelView Terminal Configuration screen, choose Transfer

Setup.

2. Select the Network tab.

3. Choose Network Direct as the Address Source.

The Network Type can be changed to ControlNet only if a
1784-KTCX or 1784-KTCS card is installed.

In the following examples, the first screen displays a ControlNet
Direct transfer. The second screen displays a DH+ Direct transfer.
