1.10.2 OVERVIEW OF THE RS-232 INTERFACE

System 1010BX site parameters can also be programmed using a PC connected to the RS-232
serial port. This requires a special serial interface cable (1015CPC-N) and a communication
software package. The serial interface cable includes 9-pin and 25-pin connectors to accommo-
date both types of IBM-compatible serial ports. A PC communication program such as Termi-
nal (Windows 3.x™) or HyperTerminal (Windows 95/98™) serves as the interface. These pro-
grams reproduce the menu screens that appear on 1010 systems equipped with graphic dis-
play screens. Setup procedures for the 1010BX, or dedicated graphic screen displays, are
identical. We recommend this method because it allows you to view the Installation Menu
using a 40 Character by 12-line interface. In addition, it allows you to access System 1010's
comprehensive on-line help text. The following example screen is an actual HyperTerminal™
screen capture. Refer to paragraph 1.12 for instructions on RS-232 interfacing.
