3. How to update system program
The program disk supplied includes two programs: main program and modem program. To update the
system program, DIP switch #1 and #2 of S3 on the CONTROL/MODEM board must be set to ON
position. Either of an IB-581 or a PC PC/AT compatible is connected as follows.
Using IB-581
Any IB-581 using for DP-6, Inmarsat-B and C can be used.
Using PC
The PC is connected to the DSC-60 as below.
Connection between DSC-60 and PC/IB-581
The connection is made with the following interconnection cable. The connector to the DSC-60 is a 25-
pin D-SUB male, and to the IBN-581 or PC a 9-pin D-SUB female.
