The keypad passwords stored in the relay may be viewed, in encoded format, via remote communications.
To communicate with the relay via a local PC, connect the relay to a serial port of an IBM compatible computer
with a null-modem cable. Connection can be made either to the 25 pin D-connector on the back of the relay
(PL2A) or the 9 pin D-connector on the front (PL1). Detailed cable diagrams are shown in the following figures:
• Figure 8–2: MODEM CABLE on page 8–26
• Figure 8–3: 25-PIN NULL MODEM CABLE on page 8–26
• Figure 8–4: 25-PIN NULL MODEM CABLE on page 8–30
• Figure 8–5: NULL MODEM CABLE FOR PORT PL1 on page 8–30
The communications software required to access the relay, LPSO-Link, is included on the accompanying GE
Power Management Products CD. Follow instructions in Section 11.2.4: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION on page
11–4 to load LPSO-Link onto the PC.
The LPSO-Link program requires the use of passwords to obtain information from the relay, to change Set-
tings, or to perform Actions. The relay is shipped from the factory with the following communications pass-
words:
VIEW: VIEW!
SETTINGS: SETTING!
ACTIONS: CONTROL!
MASTER: MASTER!
NOTE: The exclamation point following the letters is part of the factory password. The factory pass-
words MUST be changed before the user can modify Settings or initiate Actions. The user can
log into the relay at any password level. After logging into the relay, the password may be
changed under the ACTIONS menu by selecting CHANGE PASSWORD.
Before the user can change another password it is necessary to logout from the LPS-O. The user can then
change the remaining passwords by first logging into the LPS-O using another default password. The commu-
nications passwords may be viewed, in an encoded format, via the keypad with the [INF] (Information) key.
To log into the relay, follow the instructions in Section 4.1.9: USING COMMUNICATIONS (OPTIONAL) on page
4–5. Any one of the factory passwords can be used to log in to the relay. The Unit ID (General Setting 101:
UNITID) is factory set to 0.
