11.4.3 Connecting Omniset to the CPU
To setup the P3 CPU through the programming port using Omniset or Omniset Pro, follow
this procedure:
Plug the M1831A Maxiflex Programming Cable into the programming port of the CPU and
into an unused RS232 serial port on your PC. If you are using a laptop that is not
equipped with a serial port, most USB to RS232 converter products available can be
used.

Ensure that the Omniset software utility is running on your Laptop or PC.
(For more information on the installation and operation of OMNISET, please consult the
Help File shipped with the Omniset software.)
If you are using Omniset (not Omniset Pro), ensure that the correct COM port is selected in
the dialogue box accessible from the “Options”->”Port Settings…” menu. (Omniset Pro
uses a different method of communicating, via the CONET server. See the help supplied
with Omniset Pro for further information to configure Omniset Pro for your computer.)
