tree.
NOTICE!
If you have never connected to this particular protection device in this
󰊟rmware version
(release) before then PowerPort-E will probably tell you that a so-called “device model” is
required. This is a set of 󰊟les which de󰊟ne the menu tree and all parameters, including
factory defaults and setting ranges. The device model is needed by PowerPort-E for
showing the menu tree correctly.
Fortunately, this does not mean any additional problem for the user: Although it is
possible to install device models independently, as a separate installation activity (which
enables to have a look at the menu and parameters without a connection), the most
convenient way is probably to simply accept the o󰊞er that PowerPort-E automatically
makes, and let PowerPort-E retrieve the device model directly from the connected
device. This additional download takes only a few seconds and needs to be done only
once. (The device model gets installed on the PC hard drive and is available immediately
for all future connections with this device.)
After the menu tree has been made available within PowerPort-E, all further activities, such
as changing a setting value, are straight-forward (and do probably not need a lot of detailed
explanations): You can expand the (sub-)menu branches of any menu branch (click on the
small triangle next to the menu item, or a double-click on the item name), until you reach
the required bottom-level item. For example, (for a device with 14 LEDs) for the menu item
