It is helpful to become familiar with the console and PC requirements for TLS-PC 32
before you install the software.
Requirements for Consoles
TLS-PC 32 is compatible with these console models: TLS-300, TLS-350, and TLS-
350R. Your consoles must have the minimum software version shown in Table 2.
Set up your consoles before you install TLS-PC 32 by following the procedures in the
Site Prep and Installation and System Setup manuals that came with your consoles.
Specifically, refer to “Communications Setup” in the System Setup manual and be sure
to enter all the port settings for your consoles.
Requirements for PCs
Table 3 shows the minimum requirements for your TLS-PC 32. A printer is strongly
recommended for printing reports.

Connecting Your PC to a Console
The direct-connect method is used to connect a single console directly to a PC, using a
RS-232 connector. The equipment you need is shown in Table 4.
Direct Connection
A direct connect null-modem cable can be used between your PC and the console if the
cable run is no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m). Cable runs longer than 50 feet can result in
data errors, component damage, or both. If cable runs from the console to the PC
exceed 50 feet, two short-haul modems should be used, one at the PC and one at the
console.
Via Cable
To install a null-modem cable:
1. Turn off the console and your PC.
2. Attach the male end of a null modem cable to the console’s RS-232 board DB-25
connector (under the left side of the console). Refer to Table 5 for the pin
connections.
3. Attach the other end to the back of the PC (a DB-25 or DB-9 connector, depending
on which port is available). Refer to Table 5 for the pin connections.
