3.5. PC COMMUNICATION
A communications package is shipped with each system. The package requires an IBM/PC
compatible computer running Microsoft Windows 98/ME or NT 4. The package allows the
operator to examine the system parameters and download data from the nonvolatile RAM.
The system will continue to operate normally during PC communications; however
communication will be suspended whenever the system is occupied.

disconnecting the RJ-45 cable.
