is started from. The specific names in the list are derived from the information that was entered into the
“Name:” box when each connection was first set up. In the Properties Window of the dialog box, it's a good
idea to edit the connection name to match the type of connection you wish to configure. The three available
connection types are:
• via Direc
• via Modem
• via TCP/IP E
n names such as “Serial” if using the RS-232 port, “Network” if using the Ethernet
using a modem may be used. This naming convention is not mandatory, but it will help keep things tidy if you
decide to use Omnia-3 Remote Control to connect to several Omnia-3 units.
(Note: Use New to create any additional connection entries. Use Delete to remov
any entry in the connection list to edit its fields. Use Cancel to exit without making changes.)

via modem will be grayed out. Then, only the TCP/IP address of the Omnia that you wish to
connect to must be entered. Note: If you are connecting via Direct Serial or Modem, you should
not check the “Connect over Ethernet” box!
