Establishing 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 LTC-MAP. 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 SAGE.
NOTE: The 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.
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.
