==Setup==

**** Unique - A new file is created with an incremented number at the end of the file name (i.e. DATA.000 or DATA.001, etc). No data is lost.

** Click 'OK'

-

:''Note'': NetO32 will not remember these settings unless you save them. Additionally when you open the program again later on you will need to open the save file.

* Select 'File' > 'Save'

** Choose a file name appropriate to you. A good rule of thumb is to use the name of your business as the save file name. This makes it obvious which file is yours.

** Click 'Save'

* Now simply select 'Protocol' > 'Start' and you will see NetO32 start to work. Note that nothing will happen until you start the upload process on your terminal device as well.

:''Note'': Some cradles such as the CRD-9723 have LEDs to indicate data passing back and forth. You should see a blinking orange/amber LED when the protocol has been started in the NetO program.

:''Note'': If you are using a device connected via USB please note that it is common for Windows to assign the device to a completely different COM port than you have previously configured. You can adjust this by going into the 'Tools' > 'Options' menu as described above. Don't forget to save your file again. Be advised that if you use the same physical USB port on the PC continuously for this specific device this behavior does not usually occur.

==Daily Usage==

+

Once NetO32 has been configured (See [[#Setup|Setup]] above) the day to day usage of NetO32 is remarkably simple.

+

===PC Side===

+

* Launch NetO32

+

* Select 'File' > 'Open' and choose your settings file from when you configured it previously.

+

:'''Note''' that the title bar (the top of the program window) now should say ''NetO32 - <your file name>'' instead of ''NetO32 - Untitled'' like it does on startup.

+

* Select 'Protocol' > 'Start'

+

===Terminal Side===

+

These are the steps to take on your device to complete the data transfer. Note that this set of instructions assumed an [[OPL9728]] running our standard application. Other devices running default Opticon software will have similar, if not identical, setup instructions.

+

* Scroll down to 'Send Data'

+

* Select ''Trigger'' (the center key just below the display). you will see a confirmation screen with text similar to what you see below:

+

Trandmit Data

+

via Cradle

+

NETO Protocol

+

* Place the unit on the cradle (nose down as usual)

+

* Press the trigger key a second time. Your data should now transmit. You will see an activity log on the NetO32 program window and you will have a new file in the location chosen previously during setup.
