Password Protection
This chapter presents an overview of the
software communication features associated
with CRMS and the Capstone MicroTurbine.
The MicroTurbine provides two serial ports
for remote communication:
 User Port (9-pin)
 Maintenance Port (25-pin)
The operator can use either the User Serial
Port or the Maintenance Serial Port for
communication with the Power Controller.
