This Application has two tabs. The
“Security
Manager
”
tab allows you to lock or unlock specific
tester menu selections. If scripting has been
purchased, you can enable the scripting option in
the
“Option Manager”
tab.
The computer you connect to the tester must have a serial port or use a USB-to-serial adapter.
Cirris has qualified the Keyspan USB-to-serial adapter; other adapters may work correctly. You
can purchase this adapter from a local distributor or from Cirris. You must install the
1100
Utilities software on a computer. This software can be downloaded from the Cirris FTP site.
Additionally to utilize this feature, the tester must have version 4.5a software or higher installed.

3. In the File Download dialogue box that comes up, click Run to install 1100 Utilities, or click
Save if you will be installing the software on other stations.
The software installation should take a few seconds. When the software is installed, an 1100
Utilities icon will appear on your computer desktop.
