following:
• Access Via Network: The IPS must be connected to your TCP/IP
Network, and your PC must include a communications program (such
as Hyperterminal.)
• Access Via Modem: An external modem must be connected to the
IPS’s RS232 Console Port, and a phone line must be connected to the
external modem. Your PC Must include a communications program.
• Access Via Local PC: Your local PC Must be connected to the IPS’s
RS232 Console Port. The local PC must include a communications
program.
To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:

but will always answer back at 8 bits, no parity. Make certain your
communication program is set for the appropriate baud rate, bits,
parity and Communications Port.
