System Programming and Maintenance
You can connect a PC with DOS-based SPM directly to the control unit or you can
access the system remotely in one of the following ways:
The system programmer dials the system directly. You can set up a
password to prevent unauthorized access.
The system programmer dials the system operator and asks to be
transferred to the system's built-in modem (dial code *10).
You can use SPM UNIX only through a direct local connection.
You can program SPM DOS to operate in English, French, or Spanish.
Independently of the overall language setting, you can select one of these
languages for the console-simulation window during the current session. WinSPM
is available only in English.
See System Programming for complete information and requirements for SPM
DOS. See the documentation that comes with the product for complete
information about WinSPM.
Considerations and Constraints
When you upgrade to a new system release, you must upgrade the system
software; typically you must upgrade SPM as well. For more information, see
System Programming.
Unless the system is being backed up or restored, a remote system programming
connection takes priority over a local user. If the local user is programming when a
remote user connects to the system, the system sends a warning message to the
local user and disconnects that user.
The PC used for system programming connects to the lower RS-232 jack on the
processor module in the control unit. This connection runs at 1.2 or 2.4 kbps with
autobaud switching.
You can print system programming reports and/or save them on the PC's hard or
floppy disk drive. At the same time, the report is displayed on the screen together
with prompts for browsing.
You should not print system programming reports when the system is handling
more than 100 calls per hour.
You can use a printer connected to the system programming PC to print system
reports. Alternatively, you can send reports to a printer connected to the SMDR
port on the control unit [for more information about SMDR, see
Detail Recording (SMDR)" on page 655]. SMDR information may be lost,
