It will come in handy for checking if any of the commands caused errors.

Start an ASCII upload of your file.

Wait until it finishes.

Close the log file if you opened one.

Try out your new settings. 009 will check the crosspoint and 008 will check the

DTMF muting. Go back to your editor, make the required changes, and repeat the cycle.

Note about spaces in serial commands:

The controller totally ignores spaces in commands you enter from the serial port. Spaces are

shown in the manual to make it easier to see the separate groups of characters; you may want to

do this in your upload files as well. Spaces are never required, but you can put them wherever you

want in your serial commands to make them easier to read.

Note about comments in serial upload files:

You can put as many comments in your upload files as you want. Anything following a ';' will be

considered a comment and will be totally ignored by the controller. If you want a whole line to be

a comment, just start it with a semicolon like this:

; this line is a comment.

If you want to put a comment after a command (on the same line), do it like this:

N000 11 ; this is a comment - this command makes port 1 a repeater.

It is highly recommended that you comment your upload files throughly. You will thank yourself

when you go back months later and try to figure out what you were trying to do.

Note about capital letters:

By default the RLC-3 converts everything you type to a capital letter. This is because DTMF

characters are always treated as capital letters and it avoids confusion. However, there may be a

time when you would like to enter lower case letters, such as when you send serial messages with

Command 032. At those times you can turn off the conversion to all capital letters with Command

060.

Note about download speeds:

If you download a file with more than a dozen commands or so in it, you may find that the

responses from the RLC-3 get way behind, or even get lost with the message "Serial Output Queue

just overflowed - it now looks empty". This is caused by the RLC-3 trying to send back all of the

descriptive responses to the commands and not being able to send the responses as fast as it gets

new commands. Eventually it runs out of buffer space and is forced to throw some of the

responses away (it does not support software flow control yet). This does not affect the commands

that are being sent to the RLC-3 in any way - just the responses that you see on the screen. If you

do not care about the responses, just let them get thrown away and forget it. There is no file size
