Downloading Data by Group

Wireless Communication:[ Gather Data]

The RTR-500DC Base Unit can download recorded data from up to

128 Remote Units at one time.

1. In the Main Menu, open [WL Gather Data].

2.

Select the Target for downloading.

[All Groups]: Download from all registered groups

[Specify Group]: Download from only the specified group

3. Select the Download Mode in the [Execute] window.

[COM Route] : Select route of communication

[Direct] : Communicate directly without Repeaters

[As Set]: Communicate according to Wireless Route Settings.

As the RTR-500DC is a hand held portable Base Unit, it is recommended to set to

[Direct] so as to shorten communication time.

The above selection of communication route applies for communication with groups registered via the RTR-500DC Settings Utility. When communication is carried out with any group which has been registered for “Visitor Entry”, always select [Direct].

* For details about "Visitor Entry", see page 51.
