Notice
•To use the E-mail connection mode, the version of G-50 should be above 2.60.
•When using E-mail connection mode, the local G-50A is required to be initially set with Maintenance Tool and
the mail address by the G-50A initial setting tool.
- For each mail address, it is required to obtain and set an exclusive one. To transmit mail via an internet
provider, obtain the mail address from the provider. When a mail server is existing on the LAN, obtain the
mail address from the LAN administrator.
- Set the [Pop receive interval] within 3 minutes. However to monitor operating status [Operation Monitor], set it within 1
minute.
- Setting of initial information to G-50A can not be executed from Maintenance Tool. Make sure to set it from the G-50A
initial setting tool locally. If dialup connection environment is available, it can be set from a remote position.
(For detail, please refer to 6-1 Mail Basic Setting in the instruction manual of the G-50A initial setting tool.)
• The communication speed under E-mail connection mode largely depends on the transfer rate of each mail
server. Under the circumstance, the action of Maintenance Tool may take a lot of time under some internet
environments or routing mail servers.

1.1.3 Off-Line Monitor
The Off-Line Monitor can display, print information obtained by the On-Line Monitor.
In the case of connection monitoring utilizing G-50, the operation monitor data collected by G-50A will be
transmitted to remote mail servers periodically if the [Operation monitor - mail communication mode] of
online mode is adapted.
Using this function allows to collect and monitor the operation monitor data without continually connecting
the maintenance tool.

1.1.4 Wide area access mode
The “Wide area access mode" has been located starting from Ver4.06(D).
Under the "Wide area access mode," the access method for remote connection can be registered to the
database of each customer enabling easy online connection with the air conditioning system of the customer
desired to be accessed.
[Remote access method]
-

-
LAN : Accessing by directly connecting Maintenance Tool PC and G-50A with LAN (WAN).
Dialup : Accessing by dialup connection to G-50A via public network.
E-mail : Accessing by E-mail communication to G-50A via mail server.
Modem (MN Converter) : Accessing by connecting Modem to MN Converter via public telephone
circuit.
After the online connection performed by any of the above methods, you may use the similar function as that
obtainable in the normal online connection.
While under the offline mode, customer information will be provided to the monitored data enabling only to
select a specified customer for display.

6 How to change setting of Firewall
How to Change Setting of Firewall for Windows XP
1. Introduction
When connecting Maintenance Tool through G-50A, normal communication may not be performed if Firewall,
the security function of Windows XP, has wholly been validated.
(* In E-Mail mode and MN converter connection, it is not related)
Therefore, the setting of Firewall should partially be changed following the procedure indicated in Chapter 3
How to change the setting of Firewall.
2. Applicable case
(1) Should the following symptoms occur at the Address
Searching of OC (051~100), it may be possible that the
communication from G-50A can not be received normally as
the communication port to use has been blocked by Firewall.
• Requiring a lot of time for searching
• Not displaying the connecting relation (as shown in the right
figure)
In such case, terminate Maintenance Tool once, and change
the setting of Firewall.
3. How to change the setting of Firewall
The method to change the setting differs depending on the Service Pack loaded as explained below.
• 3-1 [For WINDOWS XP Service Pack 1]
I) In the case of G-50 (Network) - Local connection (LAN)
II) In the case of G-50 (Network) - Remote connection 1(Dialup)
• 3-2 [For WINDOWS XP Service Pack 2]
