SPI-300 - Basic Guide PRESENTATION This guide explains the Basic Handling of the SPI-300 (Ref. 4070) Progra- mming Unit to programme ClassA and SZB headend modules from IKUSI. The particular user guides for each type of module, which explain in detail the respective programming processes are on the website of each module.

Connecting the Cable To programme ClassA modules you must use the enclosed RJ-45 / DB-9 cable. The RJ-45 tip plugs in the rear socket of the SPI-300 and the DB-9 tip plugs in the CONTROL socket of the module. ClassA modul...

SPI-300 - Basic Guide 1. USER'S INTERFACE Access to programming functions of the SPI-300 is very simple through a collection of screens that allow to select options, adjust parameters and obtain diverse information. 1.1 - Screens All screens have a similar format. There are 5 types: The Menu Screens, the Setting Screens, the Information Screens, the War- ning Screens and the Error Screens.

DONE command just when the values have been sent. - DONE : The setting values are simply stored in the SPI-300, so that they remain available either to be sent to the module (SEND command) or to constitute a "module configuration".

SPI-300 - Basic Guide Information Screen They present the results of a determined operation and inform about the configuration and status of the connected module. The About... screen is an example of this type of screens: SPI-300 vXX.XX (DD/MM/YY) Copyrigt 2009 IKUSI OK These screens close using the OK command at the lower right corner —by...
—Info menu : Allows to get access to detailled information about the functionning of the module, further on the one provided by the screen that comes after the initial screen (this screen appears just when the SPI-300 is connected to the module).
• Factory Reset : Restores all parameter values that were established in the module when it left the factory. • About... : Indicates simply the firmware version of the SPI-300. The contents of the Settings and Info menus are different for each type of functional module and they are explained in the particular user guides.
CONTROL socket. 2.2 - Detection of the Module When you connect the SPI-300 to the module, all data for identification, configuration and status of the module are loaded on the SPI-300. A detection screen appears for a short time, and next the display shows the Basic Information screen, which identifies the module and presents its most representative configuration and status data.
If because of any circumstance the module has not been detected (it is not powered, there is a failure in the connection to the SPI-300, ...) the following error screen appears: ATTENTION...
SEND command, these values are not sent to the module, but they are stored in the RAM memory of the SPI-300. If you use the CANCEL command, the screen closes without having effect the parameter values previously entered.
To perform an update process, first you must load the firmware file on the SPI-300 in the way that is explained in the Appendix A - Firmware Update. Once the firmware has been loaded on the SPI-300, choose Update in the General menu.

SPI-300 - Basic Guide "Versions" : This line displays two version numbers: the current firmware version of the module —on the left of the arrow— and the version of the file shown in the "Firmware" line (that is to say, the last four digits).
• The Instaling Load software "Install SPI-300". Install the pc to interact with the SPI-300, when it is intended to update the firmware of both Clas- sA modules, such as the own SPI-300 to be able to recognize new control modules.
You must copy these files in the hard disk of your PC. A.2 - Loading Firmware Files on the SPI-300 The load of the firmware files on the SPI-300 is carried out from the PC on which you have installed the Load Software. Using the RJ-45 / DB-9 cable, connect the SPI-300 to the serial port of the computer.
A.3 - Updating SPI-300 Firmware The load of the firmware files on the SPI-300 is carried out from the PC on which you have installed the Load Software. Using the RJ-45 / DB-9 cable, connect the SPI-300 to the serial port of the computer.
