3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 PROGRAMMING SETUP
The following items are required to program the
repeater. The part numbers of this equipment are
shown in Section 1, Table 1-1. A programming setup
is shown above.
The LTR-Net Programmer on 3.5 inch disk, Part
No. 023-9998-459, uses Windows NT 4.0 or later, or
Windows 95 or later on a personal computer to pro-
gram the EEPROM Memory in the Main Processor
Card (MPC).
The computer is connected directly from the
serial card to the MPC. The interconnect cables used
are shown in Figure 3-2. The DB-9 to 8-pin modular
adapter is connected to the serial port of the computer
and an interconnect cable connects the adapter to the
MPC.
NOTE: These connections are for the IBM computer
and may differ from an IBM compatible. In which
case, consult the manuals for your computer for serial
card outputs and connections.
3.1.2 MINIMUM COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
The LTR-Net Programmer requires Windows NT
4.0 or later, or Windows 95 or later that meets the fol-
lowing minimum requirements.
•
16M of memory
•
486 or faster microprocessor
•
The personality program and help file are supplied
on a 3.5", 1.44M diskette only. Therefore, a com-
puter with a hard disk drive and 3.5" (1.44M) floppy
drive is required.
•
One unused serial port
•
Color monitor
Although the program uses color to highlight cer-
tain areas on the screen, a monochrome (black and
white) monitor or LCD laptop also provide satisfac-
tory operation. Most video formats are supported. An
unused serial port is required to connect the repeater
to the computer. One or two serial ports are standard
with most computers. One port may be used by the
mouse.
