2. Connect the configuration cable (APC part # 940-0103) to the selected port on the computer and
to the console port on the ATS monitoring unit.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) on your computer and configure the port for
9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Save the changes.

password) and press E NTER .
6. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer, then
XMODEM.

to match the transfer rate. Press E NTER
to set the ATS to accept the download.
