Configuration notes
• If you select a multidrop installation, you can connect up to 16 devices on the
same modem. However, if you intend to use only one device at a time, it will
speed performance if you do not select the multidrop option and if you set all
devices to a configurable polling address of 0.
• If any devices use a WirelessHART adapter, select the checkbox and enter the
polling address of the adapter.
• Changes will take effect when AMS Device Manager is started.
Connecting a HART modem
To connect a HART modem:
1. Establish a communication connection between the HART modem and your
PC. Be sure you attach it to the port that you configured for it (see
page 74).
NOTICE
If you are working with a modem on a workbench, ground your device to avoid
possible damage to your PC.
