►  To connect a PC/laptop to the SC100: 
1  Download the latest version of DCTools from: dcpower.eaton.com/downloads. 
2  Install DCTools on the PC/laptop. 
 
3  Connect a null-modem cable from the COM1 RS232 port on the PC/laptop to the RS232 
connector on the SC100. 
  Ensure the cable is secured so that no force is applied to the RS232 connector as this may 
damage the connector.

48. 
 
4  Start DCTools to open the Connection List. Check the box for the COM1 connection.

  If connection is unsuccessful refer to DCTools help (press F1) or Troubleshooting on page 56.
