7.1 Connecting a PC to the i50
The i50 is normally programmed through the Program connector on the front panel. See section 4.3
for information on making a cable to connect from a PC serial port to the RJ-45 connector. Using this
connector allows the programmer to reboot the device without removing power. This can be useful if
the device is installed where it is difficult to access the power connector. In this case a programming
cable could be left installed in the vehicle, allowing quick programming changes in the future.
Programming can also be performed through the COM ports on the back panel. In this case the i50
will need to be manually restarted to enter programming mode.
