Connecting a Terminal or Computer to the
GPS Receiver
NOTE The GPS Receiver may be operated without a terminal or computer.
The computer is needed for you to observe the progress of the GPS
Receiver or to configure alarms, or to change setup parameters.
1 For the procedures in this chapter, connect the computer to the
rear-panel RS232C (PORT 1) port using 25-pin male to 9-pin female
RS-232 null-modem cable as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3. Connecting a PC or Terminal to the GPS Receiver
You will need to run a terminal emulation program on your PC in order
to communicate via the RS-232C serial port. Most PCs contain a
terminal emulation program, especially PCs with Windows. If your PC
does not contain a terminal emulation program, purchase one of the
following programs: PROCOMM PLUS (DATASTORM Technologies,
Inc.
), PROCOMM PLUS for Windows, Cross Talk (Hayes
), or any
other terminal emulation program.
