## Connection Parameters

To connect to the system, you must define the connection parameters first. The connection parameters are stored in the database and will be used by the system until you change them again.

To access the Connection Parameters dialog, open context menu of your system by clicking on the system’s name in the Configuration directory tree, and then select “Settings”.

After creating a new system, the default parameters are stored in the database. You can change them anytime by selecting the “Settings” option in the context menu of the system.

### Changing the connection parameters

To change the connection parameters of a system:

- Select a system from the Configuration directory tree or open a new system using the System Selection.
- Select “Settings” in the context menu.

The current connection parameters for the selected system are displayed.

In BMS there are five possible types of connection:

- Direct Serial – A system is connected directly to one of the COM ports of the computer on which the BMS Server is running.
- Direct Modem – BMS connects to the system, using a local modem.
- Remote serial – A system is connected directly to one of the COM ports of a computer on which a BMS Agent is running. BMS connects indirectly to the system using TCP/IP to the BMS Agent and then direct serial connection from the BMS Agent to the system.
- Remote modem – BMS connects indirectly to the system, using a TCP/IP connection to the BMS Agent and then by modem connection from the BMS Agent to the system.
- IPU (TCP)

Each connection mode has its own set of parameters. When you select a connection type in the list box, the corresponding set of parameters is displayed and can be edited.

#### Actions
