7.2.1 Overview
The Access Bank Remote Monitor software interface is used to configure and manage the Access
Bank via the RS-232 Management Port. Installed on a local IBM-compatible PC or laptop connected
to the RS-232 Management port, Remote Monitor provides a convenient user-friendly software inter-
face for configuring, monitoring, and testing the performance of the Access Bank. The Remote Mon-
itor software can also be downloaded into a remote computer for dial-in/dial-out management over a
separate PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) analog line. In this application, Remote Moni-


-compatible modem
attached to the secondary connectors of the RS-232 Management port. Figure 7-1 illustrates these
two different ways of connecting Remote Monitor to the Access Bank.
