8. PROGRAMMING VIA PC

Note: For proper function of this Communicator, use a 32 K SIM CARD (or higher).
For programming, the PC-Link cable (not supplied) must be connected to the Connector [9] of the Communicator
and a COM port on the PC (see Fig. 4); the VGSM-120 Console application is also required. The PC-Link
cable shown in Figure 4a, or the PC-Link cable shown in Figure 4b, can be used for the connection. Make sure
you insert the PC-Link cable connector in the right way. Once the PC-Link cable has been connected, set the
computer COM port through the the Options->Serial ports. Check the serial link and the serial port settings in
case of communication problem, or use a different USB-RS232 adapter.
Note: To install and run the VGSM-120 Console application, you will need to log on to the PC as the
Administrator; we also recommend to verify the firewall's options if problems arise while the
application is being installed.
