The ACC-905 Software Assembly contains the following items: 3 1/2" Disk Version: 3 diskettes which include programming software and setup program or 1 ACC-905 programming manual (P/N: 680-110-2002) CD-ROM Version: 1 CD-ROM that contains the programming software and setup program and the ACC905 programming manual. System Requirements INTRODUCTION The ACC-905 programming software requires an IBM® or compatible computer running Windows® 95 or later. Computer Operating System RAM Hard Disk Space Disk Drive Communication Port 486 processor or faster (recommended) Microsoft Windows® 95 environment (Release 2.0 or later) 8 MB or more (16 recommended) 3 MB 3.5-inch One available communications port (COM 1, 2, 3 or 4). Hardware Accessories The following Hardware Accessories are required for programming: · · ACC-2004 Programming cable 25-pin to 9 pin adapter (if 9-pin port is not available) Page -1October 2001 ACC-905 PC PROGRAMMER For PL2215P, PL2245P, PL2415, PL2445 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Installing The Hardware Installing the ACC-2004 Make sure that your computer is turned off. Locate the serial communications port on the computer. This port will usually be located at the rear of the computer. However, since this is dependent upon the design of your computer refer to the computer operator's manual for directions. The IBM® PC systems support up to four serial ports. There are two physical standards for the serial port configurations of personal computers; · The first standard is the 25 pin RS-232 output that has a DB-25 male connector at the computer (used on the IBM-PC or PC Compatible). If your computer uses a DB-25 connector, you will need to purchase a DB-9/DB-25 adapter cable from your local computer dealer, but do not use a null-modem adapter. The other standard is a 9 pin RS-232 output that has a DB-9 male connector at the computer (used on the IBM-AT and many portable lap-top computers).
