Accessing SPM

NOTE:
Remote access (modem connection) has priority over local access (direct
connection), unless a backup or restore procedure is in progress through a
direct local connection. If a modem connection is attempted while any other
type of onsite programming is in progress (either at the system or at a
directly connected PC), the system sends a message to the onsite
programmer. The message indicates that a modem connection is being
established and the onsite programming session is terminated.
Accessing SPM
The procedure for accessing SPM depends on whether your PC is connected to
the control unit with a modem (either local or remote) or without a modem (direct).
This section covers both of these access procedures.

Direct Local Connection

To access SPM when your PC is connected directly to the control unit, follow the
steps below:
1. Set up the appropriate physical connections between the PC and the control unit.
