Initial System Checks

The following sections describe procedures for initially checking out your hardware and any required software. It is assumed at this point that your PC communications package has been properly installed and is ready for use. (See ‘‘Selecting PC Communications Packages’’ on page 2-21 for guidelines when selecting your PC communications package.)
