Overview
This section covers aspects of configuring ACM to communicate to Prosoft Enhanced Modules, MVI56E or MVI69E.
Security Options
As of release 7.1.268, ACM does not support the security feature of the enhanced Prosoft module in which an operator ID and password is supplied to login to the module. Even if you have not configured additional operators or passwords, the default log in still requires a password. This feature must be disabled on the Network Server port or serial port that is used for ACM communication.

- Next select On-Line\Operator Database, then click the button to Connect As Administrator. You will notice that operator 3 is the Default Administrator.
- Select the Authorization Defaults tab then set the Default Operator Number of the port ACM will use to ‘3’. In this example, ACM will connect via Network Server 1.
- Next click on the Privilege Waivers box for the same port in order to disable the password requirement.
- Enable Option Zero, Password Not Required. Click OK to save. Back on the Operator Database screen click Apply, then Done. That completes the Security set up for the module. This must be done for every enhanced module in your system that ACM will communicate with.
ACM Configuration
The remainder of this document will assume you are familiar with the ACM configuration process and the objects used to define devices, meter, archives, etc. It will step through the process of creating a Prosoft device with one orifice gas meter with hourly EFM collection. The process to create additional, or a different type of meter, is the same, only the registers addresses will differ.
If you will be using ACM to do gas analysis downloads to an Enhanced Prosoft module, first read the Autosol Knowledgebase documents “ACM GC Write Request Framework Overview” and “ACM FLOWCAL SCADA Request GC Download” in Gas Analysis Writes and Flow-Cal® SCADA Request Service in order to properly know how to name and configure your ACM meter objects.
