15. USE OF THE USB / RS232 PORTS
Through the USB / RS232 ports on the rear panel it is possible to interface the amplifier
with a PC.
Two features are possible:
a) To remote the linear.
b) To download newer and updated firmware releases.
The USB port is recommended in order to directly link the linear with a PC.
In this case the Software “ Term_1.5K_USB” must be used.
The RS232 port (see“13.5 PORT Connector”) is more suitable for Internet use.
In this case the Software “Term_1.5K_232” must be used.
Both ports should not be used simultaneously !!
Only one port should be used at a time.
These programs can be downloaded from www.linear-amplifier.com
Note: For Internet use, please refer to the manual of the remote use equipment.
15.1 LAN port
For space reasons it is not possible to put a LAN connector on the rear panel.
This can be overcome by using a commercial RS232 / LAN converter externally, a
very common and economical product offered by various manufacturers.
Connect the converter to port 232 of the PORT connector (pins 7, 8 and 5).
If the converter consumes less than 0.2 A it is possible to use the 12 Vdc present (pins
4 and 5), alternatively use an external source.
For programming, refer to the procedure suggested by the converter manufacturer.
