RS232 Connection

At this point you can have an option to work from either the EDAC700 RTU keypad or
from a PC via the RS232 port. You can use almost any Terminal emulator program,
however EDAC supports the use of Windows Hyperterm for this purpose, and this is fully
documented in the next section.
The instructions in this manual are illustrated using images of the EDAC700 RTU
keypad, but the RS232 connection can be used for almost all the processes shown. The
terminal menu closely resembles the LCD displays. The menus are shown with a letter
alongside each choice, so pressing the letter is equivalent to pressing <Ok> on a choice
on the EDAC700 RTU keypad.
A combination of the keypad and the PC terminal can even be used simultaneously until
you are familiar with the menu system via the PC program. It is always best to record
voice messages while using the EDAC700 RTU keypad.
