Configuring Unit Properties

Using the Unit Properties window, you can configure the unit‘s communication and
security properties in addition to general unit properties such as name, type, and
country code. The Unit Properties window automatically opens when you manually
add a unit to the site. You can also right-click the unit icon in the site pane and click
Unit Properties.

To configure Unit Properties

1. Type a descriptive Unit Name in the space provided. The Unit Identification

and Firmware Version will be supplied by the unit when a connection is made.

2. If you have already established a connection with the site, the Device

ID will be assigned. Otherwise, select the Device ID that matches the ID you
assigned the unit via the front-panel LCD menu.

Device IDs ensure the software will sync up with the proper unit when there
are multiple XAP 400s on a network.

3. Select the Unit Type (default is slave). See page 12 for more information.

4. Select an input, output, or processing channel to be the Default Meter on

the front panel meter LED when a channel is not specifically selected.

5. Select the Meter Refresh Rate, which determines how quickly the XAP 400

updates meter information (default is 100ms; range is 50-1000ms).

6. Select the country where this product is being used from the Country Code list.

Warning: The country code must be set correctly to ensure that the unit
operates properly when connected to the telco network and complies with the
country’s telco requirements. Changing this code to a country other than the
intended country of operation might cause the XAP 400 to be non-compliant
and inoperable.

7. Click the Comm tab. The Baud Rate and Flow Control settings are supplied

by the unit when a connection is made. These settings are changed using the
Site Properties window (see page 23).

8. Set the Serial Echo (default On) and the Serial Mode (default Text). Serial

Echo echos back commands sent over the XAP 400 network. The serial mode
determines the format in which the commands return–text or binary. The
mode defaults to Binary when G-Ware is connected and to Text when dis-
connected. Contact technical support for instructions on using Binary mode.
