Connecting directly to the Norstar system

If you are using a computer that is at the same site as the Norstar system, you can connect to the
RAD serial port using a serial cable (RS-232) connected to one of the serial ports on your
computer. Ensure that you note which serial port you use.
When you click on the Connect button on an ICSRT Connection Properties screen that is correctly
set for Direct connection
contacts the RAD, which verifies the RAD password and opens up a connection.
