This chapter covers information regarding the communication modes, the COM_BAI
menu commands, and the programming commands.

BAI Communications Modes
Commands can be sent to the BAI with one of two methods: 1) Local mode and
2) Remote mode. Local mode relies on menu screens to control the BAI, whereas
remote mode relies on the user sending commands through the RS-232 port.
3.2.1. Local Mode
The default mode for the BAI is local. All menus and command generation resides in
the BAI. The menu driven interface is done using a Hand held Terminal (HT) or a
DOS-based emulation program on a PC. The first screen the user will see using the
DOS emulation program is shown in . This is the tracking screen (COM_BAI).
