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 terminal. 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 the SAGE host software.
NOTE: 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, Inc.
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.
