8.3 Restoring/Uploading the Retrieved Database
If the database is stored on a disk in the format shown above, it may be re-loaded into the OSMAC
Base. Use a terminal emulation program to send the ASCII file into either serial port in a plain-text
format. The serial port must be configured for the TAP protocol.
The OSMAC Base will answer every line sent into it with an OK> if the line was acceptable, or ER> if
there was an error in it. If any errors occur during uploading, a message will be displayed at the end of
the upload sequence and the information received will not be saved. If this occurs, reduce the data
rate of the port in use or enable hardware flow control, then retry the upload operation.
Note that the “DB1” sequence in the first line tells the OSMAC Base that a database file is going to be
sent to it. The word “DONE” at the end of the file tells the OSMAC Base that the file has been sent.
Once the word DONE is received by the OSMAC Base, it will copy the database into its FLASH
memory only if no errors were detected.
8.3.1 Erasing Pagers or Groups from the Database
Uploading the database file to the OSMAC Base only adds and re-programs the pagers and groups
specified. It does not erase other pagers with entries stored in the unit's memory.
If you want the pager database erased without changing any of the unit's setup parameters, use a text
editor to add a line before the first PAGER entry in the database. The only characters on the line
should be:
ERASEDATABASE
This will tell the OSMAC Base to erase whatever is in its pager database before it adds the new
pagers and groups from the ASCII file. If you only wish to erase the group information, and not the
individual pagers, put a line in the file that reads:
ERASEGROUPS
8.3.2 Programming POCSAG Pager Function Codes
For POCSAG pagers, users may override the default POCSAG function codes if desired by entering a
special CAPCODE from a database upload. Set bit 26 to flag a function code override. Bits 24 and 25
then specify the desired function code.
