To connect the PC to a remote 3095FC, a serial, dial-up modem, radio,
satellite, or other communications line should be installed. This connection is
typically made through the host port on the 3095FC. Use the Connect
command to connect to a serial or dial-up modem

CONFIGURATION TREE When communication is established with a 3095FC or opening a
configuration file, the Configuration Tree appears on the screen. The
Configuration Tree is used to perform the following:
• Add, delete, or modify communication configurations for the 3095FC
units. The communication configurations allow the Rosemount User
Interface Software to communicate to an individual 3095FC unit.
• Establish Groups of 3095FC units. A 3095FC Group is typically several
units in the same geographical area or a number of units with
something else in common. Each group contains a list of all the
3095FC devices contained within that group.
• Assign an address for every 3095FC within a group. Each 3095FC has
a Station Name (Tag) and unique address with which to differentiate
each device. The Address must be different from any other host system
that may access the communications link.
• Setup the 3095FC Comm Ports
Use the “+” and “–” symbols to display or hide various options.
Toggle between the Online configuration screen and the Configuration
tree/device directory using Window > >select file>.
