Note: If you connect the MPI 6000 directly to a PC’s serial port, you must use a null-
modem.
By using the version command, you can display data about the configuration of the
MPI 6000 including its Internet Protocol (IP) address. (Mike, any more info here?)

Installing and Using the MPI 6000 Host Software
This section provides instructions for installing the MPI 6000 host software on your
host computer. You do not need the host to operate the MPI 6000, you can design an
application programming interface using the MPI 6000 commands. Those configura
-
tion commands are explained in “Configuration Commands and Responses” on page
7-3 of this system guide.
If you choose to use TransCore’s host software program, follow the instructions in the
following sections.
Installing the Host Software
The MPI 6000 host program is used to communicate with the MPI 6000 and also dis-
play tag reads.
To install the MPI 6000 Host software
1. Load (what media is used? CD? FTP site?) the host software onto the host
computer.
