2. In the Enter Phone Number window, do one of the following:
Ÿ Select a number from the drop-down menu.
Ÿ In the field, type a phone number, then a short description for the
controller you want to connect to.
Separate the phone number and description with a space. The first
space in the field marks the end of the phone number, so do not use
spaces in the number itself. You can separate parts of the phone
number with a hyphen (-).
To pause dialing for half a second, type a comma. Don’t use any
other punctuation in the number.
3. Click Dial. NxT connects to the controller.
Ÿ If you have selected Dial-Up as your modem type, the Select
Device dialog box appears.
Select a Modbus device just as you would with a direct connection.
Type:
Ÿ A Modbus address (1 to 247) for a controller on the local
network.
Ÿ A one-address Modbus “routing path”, if your Modbus
network is connected to a Modbus Plus network through a
controller in Bridge Mode or a Bridge Multiplexer. The
controller or BM85 interprets the Modbus address as a routing
path using its internal Address Map or Implicit Attach
Addressing.
Click Hangup to terminate a connection. NxT automatically hangs
up if you type a new number and click Dial or exit NxT. Hanging
up can take up to three seconds.
Ÿ If you have selected Dial-Chat as your Modem Type, the Dial-Chat
window appears.
4. To terminate a connection, click Hangup. NxT disconnects you from
the controller. This process can take up to three seconds.
If NxT connects to your network but the Select Device dialog does not appear,
your network or modem may be expecting a password. Try changing your
modem type to Dial-Chat, then connect again.
