This section describes how to set up and connect to the Service Terminal Interface.
A.2.1 Connection Methods
There are two ways to access the Service Terminal Interface:
• Direct—Use a null modem cable to connect a computer’s COM1 port to the Universal Monitor’s
RS232 port,
OR
• Remote—Use a remote computer’s modem to dial the telephone number of the phone line con-
nected to the Universal Monitor.
Both methods require a communications program, such as HyperTerminal, to connect to the Service
Terminal Interface.
Refer to Table 36 for step-by-step instructions to set up each type of connection. Note that the remote
connection does not require setting up the COM1 port.
The instructions in this section refer to the HyperTerminal program—they may vary for other com-
munications programs.
