When making multiple FBxConnect connections to the same device (as with a remote and a local
connection), be aware that the changes one connection makes to the device may not be
immediately visible to other connections and may even require the other connections to restart
FBxConnect before changes become visible. For example, simple changes (such as changes to
setpoints) may be immediately visible to all connections, but changing the number of meters,
configuring I/O, adding/deleting menu items, or other major configuration changes may require
re-establishing the connection using FBxConnect.
After you start Field Tools, connect to the device and launch the initial setup wizard.
▪ For a serial connection, connect a serial cable between either COM1 or COM2 on the
device and a serial port (or USB/serial adapter) on your PC.
▪ WiFi
®
connections are possible if you purchased the FBxWifi™ communications option
and if your PC supports wireless communication.
