8.7 STARTUP AND COMMUNICATIONS CONFIGURATION
1. Double-click on the 269PC program icon inside the GE Power Management group
2. The main window will appear once the software has finished loading. The communications status of the
269Plus is displayed on the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Select the Communications > Computer menu item.
4. The COMMUNICATION / COMPUTER dialog box will appear with communications settings for the com-
puter. These settings should be modified as follows:
To begin communications click on the ON button in the COMMUNICATION CONTROL section of the dialog
box. The Status section of the dialog box will indicate the communication status. If communications are estab-
lished the message 269PC is now talking to 269+ will be displayed, and the status at the bottom right hand corner
of the screen will indicate “Communicating
” . If communications are not established, the message 269PC is hav-
ing problems connecting with 269. 269PC will keep trying to establish communication will be displayed.
Set the Startup Mode based on user preference. In the “Communicate with relay” mode, the PC attempts
to establish communications with the 269Plus immediately on startup. In the “File mode w/ default settings”
mode, 269PC waits for the user to click the ON button before attemtping communications – this mode is
preferred when the 269PC software is being used without a 269Plus unit.
