Opening a Connection

To configure the 1133A and access any stored data on it, you must open a connection between
your pc and the Model 1133A. The connection type can be RS-232, RS-485, internal modem and
Ethernet. An open connection is signified by a connection name appearing in the Connection
Window, and some new active icons.
Before attempting to make the software connection, make sure to connect a cable between the
your pc and the 1133A. For RS-232, RS-485 and modem, the connector is RJ-11 using a common
phone cord. For Ethernet, the connector is RJ-45 and using a CAT-5 cable.
