Programming from a PC with SPM
The System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) software package offers an
alternate method of programming using a PC. This method frees the system
programming console for other uses and also provides additional functions.
Using a PC with SPM enables you and qualified service personnel to program
the system from off-site locations.
SPM runs on a DOS-based PC as a standalone package, or on a UNIX System
platform with Integrated Solution II or Integrated Solution III (IS II/III).
For more information about setting up and using SPM for programming on a PC
with DOS, see Chapter 2 of
System Programming. For information about
accessing SPM from IS II/III, refer to the appropriate book:

Types of PC Connections
There are three ways to connect the PC to the control unit:
■
Direct Local Connection. For a direct local connection, you must
connect the PC to the system programming jack (labeled ADMIN). This is
the lower modular RS-232 jack on the processor module. (The upper jack
is reserved for the SMDR printer.)
■
Local Modem Connection. For a local modem connection, you must use
a modem (either connected to or built into the PC) to access the internal
modem in the control unit. Connect the modem to a 012 or 016 (Release
4.0 and later systems only) module in the control unit.
