DAS List Overview

The main window contains a list of DAS units. Some details about each DAS unit are listed.

Serial Nubmer: A unique serial number of the DAS.

IP Address: The IP address of the DAS. Note: for dialup connections, the ip address is that of the PPP dialup session.
(192.168.238.1).

Name: The user assigned name of the DAS unit.

LAN: Reports that this DAS is on a LAN/WAN connection and does not require a modem connection.

Phone Number: The dialup phone number of the DAS. (optional, mutually exclusive with LAN connections.)

Several options are present on the main page: These options are as follows:

DAS Menu, Add: Add a new entry to the list. This option will prompt for the DAS details with the same screen as the
“Edit DAS” dialog.

DAS Menu, Delete: This menu option will remove the currently selected DAS unit from the list.

Edit DAS button: This button will display a dialog box with the current settings for communication with the DAS.

Download button: Click this button to download data from the currently selected DAS unit.

Download All button: Click this button to download data from all listed DAS units.

Edit DAS Settings:

The Edit DAS dialog box provides the basic communications options for a specific DAS.

The dialog has several options:

IP Address: This is the address of the DAS that you wish to communicate with. The Ethernet (LAN) IP address is
displayed on the LCD of the DAS while it is operating.

If you wish to call the DAS with a modem, you must use the IP address in the DAS configuration page under
“Networking, Dialin Setup”. The default IP address is 192.168.238.1

Password: This is used with the “admin” account on the DAS. EnertraxDL will use the admin account to access the
DAS when downloading data.

Delete Log data from DAS: Check this to remove the log data from the DAS after the download is complte. Removing
old data will make subsequent downloads faster. If the data is not deleted, it will be downloaded again on the next
session, however it will discarded when duplicate log entries are removed from the log files on the local hard disk.

Phone Number: This optional parameter is the phone number to dial when calling a DAS. If LAN/Ethernet access is
required, leave the phone number field blank. The EnertraxDL software does not use dialing rules, so the complete dial
string should be provided in this field. Ie, 9 for an outside line, a comma to pause, the full 10 digit phone number, etc.

When the options are configured, click ok to save the changes.
