7. Connect to a computer
You can connect to a computer via the 8300's serial connector or via an Ethernet
network. (See Networking on page 2-37.)
Because procedures and instructions for connecting to a PC are subject to devel-
opment and change, we have placed these instructions in a file called
8300_Vxxx_installation.pdf (where xxx represents the version number of
the software). You can access this file from the Orban / Optimod 8300 folder in
your computer's Start Menu after you have run Orban's PC Remote installer
software.
You must have the 8300 PC Remote application installed on your com-
puter before you upgrade your 8300's firmware because 8300 PC Remote
manages the upgrade.
You can use Adobe's .pdf reader application to open and read this file. If you do
not have the .pdf reader, it is available for free download from www.adobe.com.
See Installing 8300 PC Remote Control Software on page 2-43 for more detail.
