Setting Up a Modem Connection
Modem connection requires the use of a terminal emulation
program. A modem is required at both the inverters and at the
computer, with a phone line available to make the
connection.
The ICA supports use with most “terminal emulation”
programs. Any computer that has available serial
communications port and terminal emulation software can
communicate with the Sine Wave Plus Inverter/Charger
using a cable and modem connection.
This manual provides basic keyboard instructions for using
terminal emulation; for detailed information, refer to the
documentation for the chosen terminal emulation program.
