This interface can be used to allow custom third-party applications (including auto-
mation systems) to recall presets, view status and set the controls listed above. How-
ever, you cannot restore defaults, set security passcodes and change networking
controls via Ethernet or Serial 1. You can set those controls using a terminal program
with Serial Port #2 (see
Administrative Operations Available via Serial Port #2 on
page 2-50) or using 8700i PC Remote software. (See Installing 8700i PC Remote Con-
trol Software on page 2-66.)

Unlike Serial 2, Serial 1 uses the PPP protocol.

To control the 8700i directly through its Serial 1 or Ethernet port, you can use the
freeware terminal emulation application PuTTY. If you wish to automate control,
download Plink. Both of these applications are available for free download. Search
“PuTTY” with Google to find a download site.
Note that Windows 7 does not install a Telnet Client by default, so you
must do this manually if you wish to initiate a Telnet connection between
a Windows 7 machine and your Optimod. Refer to:
