COMMUNICATING WITH CPP Monitor 2000
This section describes the procedure for communicating with a
CPP Monitor 2000 unit.
Note: the 2000 can only communicate with one person at a time.
This means that if someone is logged on through the RS232 port,
the unit will NOT answer a call, nor will it make any calls until the
connection is closed. Conversely, if someone is on-line using the
modem, you cannot log on through the RS232 port.
Choose Local or Modem communication.

Local Communication

For Local communication you must connect one of your computer’s
serial COM ports to the 2000’s RS232 port.
1. Click the “Open” button on the Toolbar. The “Open Connection”
form will appear.
2. Choose the unit you want to connect with from the text box.
3. Select “Local” Connection Mode.
4. Click “Connect.”
Your PC will connect locally to the CPP Monitor 2000 unit. If a
local connection is not established, see the Troubleshooting section
of this manual.

Modem Communication

For Remote communication you must have a modem and a tele-
phone line connected to your computer.
1. Click the “Open” button on the Toolbar. The “Open Connection”
form will appear.
