8.3.5 Programming the Unit's Configuration
The unit configuration data stored in the SERIAL, MODE, RADIO and AUTODIAL entries are normally
ignored when the database file is uploaded to the OSMAC Base as a security feature in order to
prevent unauthorized users from changing the unit's configuration.
If it is desired to change the OSMAC Base's configuration with data downloaded previously from a
OSMAC Base unit, use a text editor to add the following line to the database file immediately after the
"DB1" entry:
PASSWORD,xxxxxx,[0D]
Where xxxxxx is the same password required to access the Configuration Mode from the OSMAC
Base's front panel.
Note that the unit's Firmware Version and CW ID String are not changed when uploading the database
file. These entries in the database file are ignored during the upload process.
8.3.6 Keyboard Emulation
Key presses from an external keyboard may be simulated from the computer ports for use in
automated test stations or other special applications. As a security feature, the PASSWORD
command must have been sent prior to using this feature.
To simulate key presses from an external keyboard, use a text editor to add the following line to the
database file after the PASSWORD line:
KEY,nnn,[0D] or KEY,nnn,nnn,nnn, [0D]
Where nnn represents the desired keycode represented in decimal ASCII representation. Several
keycodes may be placed on a line if desired as indicated above. Note that the following special
numbers are defined:
