Because RFL™ and Hubbell® have a policy of continuous product improvement, we reserve the right to change designs and specifications without notice.
There are two network grids and a network list available. The 8 x 11 grid has more spaces available,
but screen updates take time. The 4 x 10 grid has less spaces available, but screen updates are quicker.
You can switch from the 4 x 10 grid to the 8 x 11 grid at any time.
Since this example has only 5 nodes, you can select the 4 x 10 network grid at the bottom of the
window. The grid that is selected will be highlighted light gray. A phone number is not required in this
example since we are directly connected to node 1. A connect string is not required in this example
since we are not using a substation switch (such as an RFL 9660). You can now click on OK to return
to the main window.
NOTE
In this example the PC is directly connected to Node 1 as shown in Figure 5-10. This
connection is shown in more detail in Figure 5-2a. Since this is a direct connection, “Direct”
is selected in Figure 5-12, and the Phone# and Connect String boxes are left blank. However,
if the PC was connected to Node 1 through a modem with a substation switch as shown in
Figure 5-3b, the following selections would be made in the Edit Network Information window
(Figure 5-12): “Direct” would not be selected, a phone number would be entered, and “{3}”
would be entered in the connect string box to indicate that port 3 of the RFL 9660 Digital
Switch is connected to the node.
