Under normal circumstances, you will not need to remove the
controller from its enclosure. For this reason, the components that you
will use most often are conveniently located on the front panel. For
example, the maintenance port provides a convenient way to connect a
PC or terminal to your controller so that you can interact with it.
After you configure your controller, you should periodically check its
control panel. If an error occurs, one or more of the LEDs on the
control panel will flash in a pattern that will help you to diagnose the
problem. See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” for details about
troubleshooting your controller.
Maintenance Port
You can access the controller through a PC or a local terminal via the
maintenance port, or through a remote terminal—sometimes called a
virtual terminal or host console—via the host. DIGITAL recommends
that you use a PC or a local terminal to carry out the troubleshooting
and servicing procedures in this manual. See “Establishing a Local
Connection to the Controller,” page 2–7, for more information on
connecting the controller with a maintenance port cable.
