To use SPM for system programming, you need the SPM diskette and an
approved PC with version 3.3 (or later) of MS-DOS. At a minimum, your PC
should support and include the following items:
■At least 640 kbytes of RAM
■A floppy disk drive that will accommod ate the SPM diskette (3.5-inch or
5.25-inch)
■A monochrome or color monitor
■A serial port that can use either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector
■For a DB-9 connector, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter to attach the 25-pin
connector of the RS-232 interface cable.
■An RS-232 interface cable of appropriate length for your site connection(s)
Depending on how you connect the PC to the control unit, you also need the
following items:
■Direct local connection, if the PC is within 50 ft. of the control unit.
— Either a 355AF modular adapter (if there is a male connector on the
interface cable) or a 355A modular adapter (if there is a female
connector on the interface cable)
— A four-pair modular cord (D8W)
