Description of the Mainboard
The Case LED
In the cover of the case is a multicoloured LED integrated. This case
LED displays the status of the COMmander Basic to you. The following
displays may be shown:
Off: The COMmander Basic is switched off or separated from the mains
voltage.
Green: The COMmander Basic is ready for operation.
Red (orange): The COMmander Basic initializes itself (after having
started or after reset). Red changes to orange after a few seconds and
then to green. If the LED does not turn to green but is still red, there is
an error.
The Reset Button
In contrast to removing the 230 volt power plug, the supply voltage will
not be interrupted by pressing the reset key. All internal and external
connections, recalls and exchange line reservations will be deleted in
case of a reset. All configurations done by configuration program COM-
set or by telephone will remain valid. The same is valid for the call data
memory.
The Automatic PBX Software Update Button
Stay informed on the news in the PBX software of the
COMmander Basic (on our homepage on the Internet). The version
number of the software used in this PBX can be requested via a con-
nected system display SD-420 (special accessory) or via telephone
(chapter Request Firmware Version on page
If the software is not up to date, you will have to make an automatic PBX
software after the installation and the configuration. During this
update the COMmander Basic will make independently a telephone
connection to one of the servers at Auerswald and the current software
will be transferred while the call data and configurations will remain pre-
served. Besides of the costs incurred for the necessary telephone con-
nection this update is free of charge. The COMmander Basic already
knows the telephone number of the server at Auerswald. If the tele-
phone number changes, you will be able to enter this change into the
configuration program COMset.
The update may be initialized via telephone by dialling a sequence of
digits (see
chapter Perform an automatic PBX Firmware Update on
page 62 in the user
manual) or by pressing a button if the case is still
open. You should only initialize this procedure, if the PBX is idle (that
means not during business activities) because all the calls will automat-
ically be interrupted by the PBX. The procedure will last 5 minutes.
In order to activate the update, press the update key until the LED that
is next to the key starts blinking slowly. The LED continues flashing dur-
ing the whole procedure.
If the automatic PBX software update was successful, the LED will start
blinking faster at the end of the procedure. (positive acknowledgement,
will last app. 60 seconds).
If it failed, the LED is switched on at the end of the procedure (negative
acknowledgement, will last ca. 60 seconds), and you will have to start
the update again (e.g. the connection was not possible).
If the procedure lasts less than 60 seconds and you get a positive
acknowledgement, the PBX software has already been up to date.
After a successful PBX software update existing LCR data
may be deleted.

Creating an internal Telephone Numbering Plan by
pressing a Button
The internal as well as the external telephone number distribution of the
COMmander Basic are created with the configuration program COMset.
In order to execute a functional test via an internal call before the con-
figuration, an internal telephone numbering plan that is depending on
the type of used modules will be produced in the COMmander Basic
when you switch it on the first time. This default factory setting can be
restored later by pressing a key. (Attention! If you have already changed
some settings, these will also be replaced by the default factory set-
tings.):
Press the update button and keep it pressed. A short time later press
the reset button in addition - the case LED glows red. Now you keep the
update button pressed until the LED starts glowing orange. The initia-
lization is finished when the LED glows green.
The default factory settings (including the internal numbering plan) is
described in
chapter The Default Factory Settings on page
Serial Interface (V.24)
The serial interface of the COMmander Basic can be connected to the
serial interface of a PC (COM 1 to 4) or of a printer. On the mainboard
of the COMmander Basic are two connections „Serial interface":
Between the 3-pole clamp bloc on the basic controller of the
COMmander Basic and the serial interface of the PC/printer a direct
connection with help of a corresponding cable can be made.
The enclosed case connector can be installed into the installation
chassis
(chapter Install the V.24 Case Connector on page
can be connected with the 10-pole connector on the mainboard of
the COMmander Basic. The enclosed PC connection cable serves
for connecting the PC/printer with the case connector if necessary.
Only one of the connection option can be used at the same time (see
chapter Connect PC and Printer on page
