OneTouch
®
Flexx™ Meter
The following procedures explain how to transfer data between the OneTouch
®
Flexx™
meter and the workstation, using a connection module, a serial cable, or the OneTouch
®
DataLink
®
Wireless unit.
Using a Connection Module
A connection module allows you to transfer data from remote locations, either through
modems or over a network. When the meter is placed in the connection module, the
infrared ports on the meter and connection module are aligned and data is transferred via
infrared communication.
The connection module may be connected to a PC server, serial server/client, modem, or
directly to the workstation’s serial port.
■ NOTE: If you are transferring data over a modem and a fax machine is sharing the same
analog line as the modem, do not transfer data while a fax is being sent or
received.
1 Place the meter into the connection
module cradle.
The connection module turns on the meter.
• If you have an Ethernet configuration, data
is automatically transferred to the
workstation through the network.
• If a modem is detected, the connection
module automatically dials the receiving
modem (provided the number was
downloaded to the meter from the
workstation, or entered at the meter).
If the line is busy, the connection module
retries up to 20 times at 30-second
intervals before it times out.
If the receiving modem phone number was
not downloaded to the meter from the
workstation, the Enter Phone # screen
appears.
Enter the phone number for the receiving
modem, then press Ok.
