d) SET LOCAL PC CONFIGURATION
1. When you start ALPS-Link the main menu bar is displayed.
2. Click on the SupportFunc > Host Setup > Ports menu item.
3. Enter the communications port number that you are using on your PC by clicking in the box and typing the
number. Do not hit the ENTER key yet.
4. Type in the port number that matches the PC port connected to the LPS-D. If port 3 or 4 is selected, the
IRQ number must also be selected.
5. Select OK when the port is configured.
e) CREATE TEST UNIT DESCRIPTION
The next step is to create a new Unit Description that matches the baud rate, phone number, and switch code
of the LPS-D. Usually, the LPS-D is accessed locally during testing; therefore, the Phone Number and Switch
Code are left blank. The Baud Rate is set to the factory setting of 2400 with one stop bit and no parity.
1. Select Device > Device Setup from the main menu and click the Add button.
