 host software installed on a personal computer allows for 

data retrieval and analysis.  Communications with the LTC-MAP 2130 must 

be established in order to download data to the PC or upload configuration 

information to the LTC-MAP.   Communication between the PC and the 

monitor can be established: 

• 

Directly via the front panel serial port and a null modem cable to a 
personal computer running SAGE



. 

NOTE: The SAGE



 host software must be installed on the PC for 

proper communication to take place.  The front panel serial port 

does not support dumb terminal operation. 

• 

Over phone lines using an optional modem installed inside the 

monitor. 

• 

Over phone lines via a phone multiplexer installed in the control 

house and connected to several LTC-MAP 2130 monitors. Refer to  

Document No. 70061MP for detailed information on the phone 

multiplexers available from Reuter-Stokes. 

CAUTION:  The serial port and the modem cannot function simultaneously. 

When using the serial port for communications, the internal modem (if 

installed) must be disconnected at J8; otherwise the serial port will not 

function.
