Page 10: Section 1. Introduction
This Radio Service Software (RSS) manual is targeted for anyone who wants to program features into the MT 2000, MTS 2000, MTX 838, MTX 8000, and MTX 9000 radios or align a radio. This feature programming, or customizing, personalizes a radio for the needs of individual customers, resulting in radios with unique personalities.
Page 11: Prerequisites
INTRODUCTION MTSX RSS 1.2 PREREQUISITES To use the RSS to program the radios, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following: Microcomputers. MS-DOS operating system, version 5.0 or later. This application requires: 80386 or 80486 DOS 5.0 or later 4 Megabytes of RAM or greater.
Page 12: Using This Manual
MTSX RSS INTRODUCTION The new install program will determine if your system has an adequate amount of memory available (3M) and a 286, 386 (or 486) CPU for extended memory operation. If present, the RSS will be installed. The following line should be added to the CONFIG.SYS file if necessary: device = c:\dos\HIMEM.SYS device =c: \dos\EMM386.EXE OFF Files = 30...

GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS 2.2 UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER BASICS If you are already familiar with computers, skip this section and proceed to “STARTING THE RSS” section. Your computer can be compared to both an electronics technician and a file cabinet. A file cabinet provides easy handling, storage, and retrieval of written data.
Page 18: Identifying Major Computer Parts
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED 2.2.1 Identifying Major Computer Parts Computers range in complexity and size from ones that easily and lightly fit on your lap to ones the size of a car that require air-conditioned, smoke and dust-free environments. Falling between this range is the microcomputer, which is common in many households and businesses today.
Page 19: Random Access Memory (Ram)
GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS 2.3.1 Random Access Memory (RAM) Random Access Memory (RAM) is a storage place in the system unit used to run programs and operating systems. The amount of RAM varies from computer to computer, and it directly affects which programs will run on your computer.
Page 20: Understanding The Disk Operating System (Dos)
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED Diskette drives come in two sizes; one to accommodate the 5-1/4” diskettes. With the 5-1/4” diskette drives, after a diskette is inserted as far as it will gently go, you must close or push down the “drive door” located on the outside of the drive or else the computer will not read the data on the diskette.
Page 21: Some Dos Commands
GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS Table 2-3. Some DOS Commands DOS Command What it means... Go to drive “A.” Go to drive “B.” Go to drive “C.” Return to the Root Directory. CHDIR is the same as CD. CD DIRNAME Change directory to the directory named “dirname.” Maximum directory length is 8 characters. cd used alone will display the current working path name.

The extension provides an easy way to, at a glance, identify or tag files for easy grouping or categorizing. In the computer world, some file extension naming conventions have evolved, and Motorola uses these conventions in the RSS, as you may have noticed.
Page 24: Organizing Your Hard Disk And Diskettes
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED 2.6 ORGANIZING YOUR HARD DISK AND DISKETTES When you first start using computers you typically do not have a lot of files to organize. But after a while it gets increasingly difficult to distinguish between file types, to pick out a specific file in a long list, to keep track of what’s in which file, or to remember which files are similar in content.
Page 25: Organizing Your Hard Disk
GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS 2.6.1 Organizing Your Hard Disk Below is a sample directory tree for storing your radio archive files on your computer’s hard disk. Though your hard disk directory tree may be a little different based upon your way of doing business, this setup may be a starting point for you.
Page 26: Organizing Your Archive File Diskette
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED 2.6.2 Organizing Your Archive File Diskettes Below is a sample diskette directory tree for storing your radio archive files on a diskette. Organizing a diskette is easier due to smaller space on a diskette. Though your tree may be different based upon your way of doing business, this set-up may be a starting point for you.

Steps to Create Diskette Directory Tree Instruction What to Type Explanation Create diskette label Label formatted diskette to correspond to the contents of the diskette such as “MTXS Archive Files”. Don’t apply it to the diskette yet. If no hard disk, load DOS See Table 2-3 to load DOS using drive A.
Page 28: Starting The Rss
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED 2.7 STARTING THE RSS You have accomplished a lot so far - you have identified and assembled the hardware, you acquired knowledge of basic computer and DOS concepts, and how to organize disks. You are now ready to start the RSS on your computer.
Page 29: What To Do With Previous Versions Of Rss Diskettes
GETTING STARTED MTSX RSS 2.7.2 What To Do with Previous Versions of RSS Diskettes After you have created a backup copy of the new RSS diskettes, you may wonder what to do with the previous RSS versions you may have accumulated. We recommend discarding the older versions so that you do not accidently program the radio with outdated data.
Page 30: Installing The Rss On Multiple Computers Or Networks
MTSX RSS GETTING STARTED After installing the RSS on a hard disk, you may notice a .BAT extension and a .ODB extension. These types of files are explained briefly below. Do not delete or move these files from the C:\MRSS\MTSX directory. .BAT A batch file.
