PC Programming
General Description
The IAPS Software, included on No. XAC4000A Programming Bundle CD, is needed to program the
features of your equipment. It allows entry of programming data into your personal computer for transfer
to your equipment. The programmed data can be retrieved and edited, and printed in hard copy form for
record-keeping.
Hardware/Software Requirements
This software is for use on PCs with Windows 95 or higher operating system (not compatible with
Vista). The computer should have 8 Mb of memory, VGA or higher, with one serial port. Use 800
× 600
or higher resolution to optimize viewing.
Communication Port
Data is transferred via a serial communication port on the computer. The port must be RS-232
compatible, and either COM1, 2, 3 or 4 port on the computer can be used.
Connections
The PL1877A must be connected to your personal computer with the 25-pin D-connector cable (Part No.
XAC0004A) before the programming software can be used. Connect the cable to the COM 1, 2, 3 or 4
connector on the computer. Connect the other end to the programming jack on the PL1877A.
