7.2 Remote Monitor Software Program

7.2.1 Overview

The Access Bank Remote Monitor software interface is used to configure and manage the Access Bank via the RS-232 Management Port. Installed on a local IBM-compatible PC or laptop connected to the RS-232 Management port, Remote Monitor provides a convenient user-friendly software inter- face for configuring, monitoring, and testing the performance of the Access Bank. The Remote Mon- itor software can also be downloaded into a remote computer for dial-in/dial-out management over a separate PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) analog line. In this application, Remote Moni- tor can also be used to poll the Access Bank for remote alarms via a Hayes -compatible modem attached to the secondary connectors of the RS-232 Management port. Figure 7-1illustrates these two different ways of connecting Remote Monitor to the Access Bank.
