STANDARD SERIAL (FLASH) PORT

Your Pinnacle supply contains a modified AE Bus serial (Host) communications interface
accessible through the Standard Serial port. This allows the Pinnacle unit to interface with a
host computer. You can do everything from the host computer interfaced with the Pinnacle
supply that you can do from the active front panel or the Pinnacle Remote Panel. For a
complete list of available functions, refer to "Host/Pinnacle Software Commands" on
page 4-55. To obtain a diskette containing sample software as well as an executable version of
the AE Bus Host software, please call AE Customer Support.

Standard Serial Port Description

The Standard Serial port, or flash port, lets AE personnel program the internal flash function
of the Pinnacle unit.
Located on the rear panel, the Standard Serial port is a shielded modular jack as Figure 4-4
illustrates (see also the rear panel illustration at the end of the Installation Chapter).
