DATABASE TRANSFER
The OSMAC Base Station database can be uploaded and downloaded. This feature is very useful in managing databas-
es containing large number of satellites. This function is also helpful in storing data for data backup purposes as well as
to facilitate databases cloning from one unit to another. The uploading and downloading of data can be achieved by a
host computer that is connected to the serial port which is configured for TAP protocol.
Database Format
The OSMAC Base Station database are uploaded or downloaded in ASCII form. The data can be readily transferred,
stored and/or edited as desired. The format of the database output is as follows:
DB1[0D]
VERSION,{VERSION},{OPTIONS},[0D]
SERIAL,{PORT},{BITS},{STOP},{PARITY},{FLOW},{BAUD},{TAP-TO},{COMP-TO},{MAN-TO},{PROTO},[0D]
MODE,{SPKR},{BUSY},{REMOTE},{CALL},{AP-TIMER},{VOICE},{WARMUP},[0D]
RADIO,{T-REF},{T-FREQ},{T-CTCSS},{BW},{R-REF},{R-FREQ},{R-CTCSS},{CD},{DATA},{TYPE},[0D]
AUTODIAL,{MEMORY NUM},{PHONE NUM},[0D]
PAGER,{0-999},{TYPE},{CAPCODE},{FORMAT},{GROUP},{ACTIVE},{DUR-A},{DUR-B},[0D]
GROUP,{NUMBER},{SATELLITE NUM},{MEMBERS},{SPARE},{MEMBER 1},...{MEMBER N}[0D]
