Communications

The SAGE host software installed on a personal computer allows for

data retrieval and analysis. Communications with the LTC-MAP 2130

must be established in order to download data to the PC or upload

configuration information to the terminal. Communication between the

PC and the monitor can be established:

• Directly via the front panel serial port and a null modem cable

to a personal computer running the SAGE host software.

NOTE: SAGE host software must be installed on the PC for

proper communication to take place. The front panel serial

port does not support dumb terminal operation.

• Over phone lines using an optional modem installed inside the

monitor.

• Over phone lines via a phone multiplexer installed in the

control house and connected to several LTC-MAP 2130

monitors. Refer to Document No. 70061MP for detailed

information on the phone multiplexers available from Reuter-

Stokes, Inc.

CAUTION: The serial port and the modem cannot function

simultaneously. When using the serial port for communications, the

internal modem (if installed) must be disconnected at J8; otherwise

the serial port will not function.
