Aquila Root Folder - The Aquila Root Folder specifies the base path used for storing in-pit configuration, and in-pit machine data. Both ComManager and the DrillManager client must be able to access this folder in order to send and receive files. The Aquila Root Folder can be a network drive. The ComManager program must have sufficient security privileges to access this folder in order to verify if the folder is accessed by ComManager over a network.Dial-up Settings - This section is only relevant if you plan to use Freewave radio modems to communicate with in-pit machines. Should you wish to use Freewave radios, then you must check the "Dial-up" box, and specify the serial port to which the Freewave radio is attached.Production Download Times - Here you can specify a list of times at which to download production files from the in-pit machines.Listen Port - Specifies the TCP/IP port on which ComManager will listen for incoming DrillManager connections.FTP Timeout - Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a response from the in-pit machine's FTP server for a response. (For transferring files)FTP Connection Timeout - Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a successful connection to the FTP server running on the in-pit machines. (For transferring files).Remote EXEC Timeout - Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a remote command to complete on an in-pit machine. (For getting machine status, changing on-board status, and preparing on-board files for transfers)User name - The user name to be used for logging in to the on-board FTP/Remote Exec servers.Password - The password to be used for logging in to the on-board FTP/Remote Exec servers.Confirm Password - Type in the password a second time to ensure you typed it in right.Machines - Manage a list of in-pit machines with which ComManager is to communicate.Machine update interval - Specify the number of minutes to wait between attempts at requesting the on-board status of a machine.Delay before retrying a failed task - Specify the number of seconds to wait before re-attempting a failed task.Maximum number of retries - Specify the number of times to attempt a task before the task is marked as having failed permanently.Adding In-pit Machines
Within the "Machines" section, in-pit machines can be added, removed, modified, and configured. Before adding, removing, or modifying in-pit machines, remove all sample machines. For each in-pit machine which you want to communicate, click on the "Add" button.

Add/Update machineUnder "Machine Type" specify the type of in-pit machine that you are adding.Under "Machine Name" specify a descriptive name for the machine. This is the name that will appear in the DrillManager clients that connect to ComManager.Under "IP Address" specify the IP address of the remote machine. This value depends on the on-board computer's configuration.Under "Freewave Serial" specify the serial number (phone number) of the on-board Freewave radio, if applicable. Otherwise, you can leave this entry blank.Under "Freewave Repeaters" specify
