Remote Programming Mode
(CPC-S and CPC-M)
Description
Remote Programming Mode uses a modem connected to a “dumb” terminal
or a PC terminal program to access a modem connected to the DBS 824
Maintenance serial port. Local programming bypasses the modems and
connects directly from the PC or terminal to the Maintenance serial port.
When programming from a terminal connected to the RS-232C
(Maintenance) port either directly or via a modem, perform the following
steps:
1. Make certain that any cables and modems are configured and connected
as outlined in Section 300.
2. Have someone at the site set the DBS 824 to the terminal
communications mode by entering the following command at a digital
extension:
#99xxxx (where xxxx = the site’s password)
3. Enter your terminal communications program and make sure your PC’s
data communications settings match those of the DBS 824.
4. If connecting remotely using modems, dial up the DBS 824 Maintenance
port modem following the procedures for your terminal package. After
the DBS 824 displays the DBS Remote Programming Banner Screen,
type P and then press Enter.
5. Follow the directions on the screen to access the desired programs. (See
“Terminal Programming Commands.”)
