Data monitor
Once all connections have been made and all switches set correctly, the system still does not
always function correctly. As an aid to diagnosing remaining problems, the interface unit is
equipped with a data monitor program.
The monitor program is accessed by connecting a terminal to the local port. The baud rate
must agree with the rate switched in on interface unit switches DIP switch bank 3, positions 1
and 2.
The data monitor command m or just ENTER is used to determine whether communication
has been established.
