Setting Up and Configuring Connections
The Connections dialog box (Tools > Configure Connections) displays user-
defined connections . It lets you add new connections, edit existing ones, and
arrange the connections in a tree structure that reflects the location of the base
stations in the network. You can also import connections from or export them
to other Service Kits. When you connect to a base station, you select one of the
connections that you have created or edited.
There are different connection types, reflecting the different ways that the
Service Kit can be physically connected to a base station. You only need one
connection for connecting directly to any base station, but you need a different
connection for each remotely connected base station.
If your PC has no serial port, obtain a USB to Serial (DB9) converter. When
the driver for this is installed, the operating system makes a virtual serial port
available.
Physical Connection Options
There are various ways of physically connecting the Service Kit to a base
station. The set of user-defined connections available to the Service Kit must
reflect the ways that the Service Kit PC will be physically connected to the
different base stations.
