Connecting the service PC
12
The service PC must be connected with connecting cable part no. 99 00 440 RE999 to the
p.c. board in the generator (do not insert the diskette in the drive yet).
Configuration of the service PC
12
All Service Programs use the RS232 port in order to communicate with the MAMMOMAT.
This port is usually handled as COM1 by the OS of the service PC. Modern PC's can be
equipped with new types of communication hardware, e.g. infrared port and built-in
modem, which may act as COM1 or share resources with COM1. This could cause mal-
function of the Service Programs for the MAMMOMAT, which requires the OS and com-
puter BIOS to be re-configured.
The following procedures are designed to ensure general compatibility with the OS's

done only once.
