Page 50
It is occasionally necessary to directly program TEC units’
memory. The following example uses SES’s Program SELCOM 7 or newer as an example. To use
other terminal programs, consult their manual for setup and use. Using Selcom 7 or newer , proceed
with the following.
1) Select the desired site.
2) Click on Options.
3) Click on Terminal.
4) Click on File, then Place Call or click on the telephone icon.
If connecting with a serial connection, you must press the [ESC] key for the unit to prompt you for the
password. If you do not press [ESC], the unit will send transaction data to the terminal as it occurs.
If connecting with a modem, Selcom 7 or newer will call the TEC unit and prompt you for the
password by changing the screen from white to black and prompting with the word PASSWORD_ This
is the programming password found in your System CFG menu. Key in the 6 digit password and
press “Enter” You should get a selection that says Main Menu and has 9 selections available.
