7 Software for Communicating with the MJ-X
L
 Control Panel
7.1 Communications Software
Siemens has developed a Windows-based communica-
tions software application called MJXplorer. All configura-
tion and data can be downloaded to a PC via the RS-232
Data Port located on the front of the MJ-X
L 
Control Panel
or through an optional Communication Module.  Down-
loaded data can then be saved and imported to other com-
monly-used software, including spreadsheet applications.
In addition to downloading, MJXplorer software can mod-
ify configuration information and upload the information to
the MJ-X
L 
Control Panel. The MJXplorer software and
operating instructions are available from Siemens. Contact
your Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution repre-
sentative for details. 
7.2 Uploading New MJ-X
L
 Software
Siemens offers a software application, called MJXtra, for
uploading new versions of MJ-X
L 
software to the MJ-X
L
Control Panel. 
Through a simple set of windows and pull-down menus,
you confirm the communications settings and transmit the
new software via the front-panel Data Port.
