5. In the Hydran Host software, enter the telephone number and the communication
speed of the H201Ci's modem in the Power Stations Set-Up window (see the
Hydran Host Software Manual).
Note: The communication speed assigned to the power station in the Hydran Host software
must be the same as the one set in all H201Ti's in the local network.
6. If the H201Ti's Call OnAlarm command is used, program the H201Ci's modem
with the telephone number of the host computer's modem.
7. If not already done, set the communication speed of the H201Ti's. To do so, access
the submenu Communication of each H201Ti and set the parameter BaudRate to
the same speed as the one indicated in the Power Stations Set-Up window for this
power station.
8. If the H201Ti communication speed is set for the first time, you must initialize the
H201Ci's modem with this communication speed. To do so, access the submenu
Communication of one of the H201Ti's connected to this H201Ci, select the Force
HostCall command and press ENTER.
Note: This task can be performed even if the H201Ci's modem is not connected to a
telephone line and even if this modem is not yet programmed with a telephone number.
9. If the H201Ti's Call OnAlarm command is not used (the H201Ci's modem is not
programmed with the telephone number of the host computer's modem), you must
use the Hydran Host software to trigger the communications between the two
modems. In the Hydran Host software, start the Hydran Host module, click Remote
and then Call Now (see the Hydran Host Software Manual).
10. Verify the status of communications with the H201Ti's in the Network Survey
window of the Hydran Host software (see the Hydran Host Software Manual).
Note: The Hydran Host software, the communication software and the modem must use the
same communication port (COM1 or COM2).
