The Sicontroller Interface Software Overview:

The Sicontroller software lets you monitor, control and setup your Sicon-

8 from any PC equipped with a serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter.

The Sicontroller program also works with serial-to-Ethernet converters

and can be used on a local network or the Internet. The Sicontroller

software can also access the Sicon-8’s internal Web server directly, but

configuration is not allowed via the Web server. You can monitor one

or many different Sicon-8s using the tabs in the Sicontroller program.

The software adds extra features, not found in the hardware, like

sending e-mails during alarm conditions & automatically synchronizing

the Sicon-8's clock to your local PC. The software is not required to

use your Sicon-8, but it does make programming much easier.

The Sicontroller program has two sets of parameters that it has to handle. First, it has data that is specific to the software.

These include things like user accounts, software passwords, communications settings, locations of the various meter

forms on your PC screen, etc. These are stored as "workspace files". If you save your workspace files (the software asks

you about this any time you close it), then you can load the workspaces up again when you start up next time. The

software also lets you auto-load either the most recent workspace or a predefined workspace of your choosing. The

default is to auto-load the most recent workspace.

The second thing that the software keeps track of is site data. This includes all of the setup parameters for each site along

with encrypted passwords for both dial-up and serial port access. If your program is set up to auto-load the most recent

workspace, then the site that was last loaded in that workspace should also be auto-loaded as well because site file info is

also saved in the

workspace files.

Setting up

the Sicontroller Software

(Getting Started)

The Sicon-8 has four HARDWARE access levels, (super-administrator, administrator, controller and reader). Each level

has its own access codes for both DTMF and data access. The Sicontroller software also has an unlimited number of

user accounts, each of which has its own unique user name and password. This allows you to set or remove individual

users from the software without having to reprogram you Sicon-8 each time. The user account names and passwords

each fall into one of the four access levels of the Sicon-8 hardware. The software accounts all access one of the four

hardware access codes to inter-operate with the Sicon-8 at the appropriate level. So, if you add an administrator’s

hardware access code of “54321” to the Sicon-8, and then you create a software administrator’s account named

:Engineering”, and Engineering’s software password is “abc123”, then that account will use the hardware’s administrator

access code of 54321 to communicate with the Sicon-8. If you have not added an administrator’s hardware access code

to the Sicon-8 and saved that code to the software, then the software will not be able to access the Sicon-8, even though

you have created an administrator’s account in the software.

The first time you connect to your Sicon-8, you will be logged in as the super-administrator since only that access code is

in the default memory. We suggest that one of the very first tasks that you should perform, after connecting to your Sicon-

8 for the first time, is to setup hardware access codes for all four levels. If you plan to use the dial-up functions of your

Sicon-8, you should also setup all of your telephone access codes, too. Be sure to write down all of your Sicon-8

hardware access codes in case your computer crashes or in case you want to access your Sicon-8 from a second PC at a

different location. Never use the same access code for multiple levels. The Sicon-8 would have no way to know what

level you intended to be, so it will give you the highest level available for that code. Similarly, user accounts must have

different names for the software to differentiate between them.
