Chapter 5.  COMMUNICATION 

 

5.1 INSTALLATION 
 

The RS-232 port of PT630 can communicate with the serial port of a host computer. There are 
two ways to carry out communication sessions: 
 
(1) LOCAL   : Directly connect to the serial port of your computer system. 
(2) REMOTE  : Connected by two attached modems and one telephone line. 
 

 

 

5.1.1 LOCAL CONNECTION:

 

 

In the Local connection method, the PT630 is directly connected by a null modem cable to the 
serial port of the host computer. This is the way to 

download 

or 

upload

 files 

from/

to

 

your 

PT630. Note that the communication parameters must be matched on your PT630 and host 
computer, otherwise, the communication will fail.

When the flow control is set to CTS/RTS, the CTS (RTS) signal of one end is necessary to be 
linked to the corresponded RTS (CTS) on the other end.
