Setting Up and Configuring Connections

Adding a Connection
34 Part C: Basic Tasks
The Connections dialog box (Tools > Configure Connections) displays a list
of user-defined connections. It lets you add new connections or edit existing
ones. When you connect to a BSS, you select one of the connections that you
have created or edited.
There are different connection types, reflecting the different ways that the
Service Kit can be physically connected to a BSS. (For information on remote
connections to a BSS, see TN-742 Remotely Monitoring and Configuring the Tait
TB8100.) You only need one connection for connecting directly to any BSS,
but you need a different connection for each remotely connected BSS.
If your PC has no serial port, obtain a USB to Serial (DB9) converter. When
the driver for this is installed, the operating system makes a virtual serial port
available.
The New Connection dialog box lets you define new connections and add
them to the list of available connections. There should already be direct
connections for COM1 and COM2. You need to set up one connection for
each BSS with a remote link.
Adding a Direct Connection
1. Select Tools > Configure Connections. The Connections dialog box
appears.
2. Click New. The New Connection dialog box appears.
