If you know which COM port you are attached to, select that port in the

program, then click "Continue". If you are unsure of the COM port number,

the program can find it for you. Enter the range of COM ports to search,

then click "Find Base Station".

The program will look for the Base and determine its current configuration.

Once the program finds it, it will display the RF Channel (default is 01) and

the Firmware Version (xxxxx-pp). The first five characters are for the main

processor's firmware, which can be updated by you from the latest firmware

always available on our website. The last two last two characters are the

firmware version of the radio processor; this is not field updateable. If these

two characters don't show, (you see only xxxxx), it means your radio

processor is not responding and you need to call us to authorize a repair.

If you want to change any of the settings (Baud, Parity, Data Bits and

Stop Bits), you can do so by clicking the desired setting.

You can enable a Security Code for either a Base. The Security Code needs to

be three characters and when enabled, requires anyone wanting to make a

change to the Base to enter this 3-character code.

"Xon/Xoff Sensitive" should be checked ONLY if your system has

XON/XOFF specified for handshaking on the serial port in use. Typically

in Windows, handshaking will be set to "None" and you should leave this

setting unchecked. See "Addressing a Terminal not Signed In" and "Base

Station Initialized Message" in Chapter 6 for details.
