Direct Local Connection 8

For a direct local connection, you must connect the PC to the system

programming jack. This is the lower modular RS-232 jack on the processor

module, as shown in Figure 6-2. (The upper jack is reserved for the SMDR

printer.)

To connect a PC more than 50 feet from the control unit, see Figure 6-3.

For direct local connections, the system supports speeds of 1,200 and

2,400 bps.

■ If you have multiple modems installed in your system, after clicking

OK, you may be prompted to select the modem you want to connect

with.

■ Clicking CANCEL from the Connection Selection screen causes you

to return to either the Main screen or the First-Time User Wizard,

depending on from where the screen was started.

■ While setting up a Manual Connection, you will also be prompted to

set the Maximum Speed for connection. It is recommended that you

select 2400.

You must use a direct local connection to program in Surrogate mode.
