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 BaseOSMAC 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 BaseOSMAC 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 BaseOSMAC Base that a database file is going to be sent to it.
The word “DONE” at the end of the file tells the OSMAC BaseOSMAC Base that the file has been sent. Once the word DONE is
received by the OSMAC BaseOSMAC 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 BaseOSMAC 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 BaseOSMAC 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 Two-Tone Pagers with Non-Standard Frequencies
Two-tone pagers using non-standard frequencies and durations may be programmed via the database upload
command. Use a text editor to create an entry in the database file for the pager as follows before uploading the
file to the unit:
PAGER,{0-999},{TYPE},{CAPCODE},TWO-TONE,N,{ACTIVE},{DUR-A},{DUR-B},{DUR-C}
Where:
