3-20 Section 3: Installation
February 3, 2000 70055MP Revision D
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.
