Appendix C — Defaulting the Decoder
Defaulting the decoder resets the decoder configuration parameters to their
original default values.
Defaulting is necessary if:
• You wish to quickly restore default settings to the configuration program
after making some temporary changes.
• Communications between the decoder and another device are interrupted
because of incompatible settings (for example, a terminal is set to communi-
cate at 9600 baud, but the decoder is configured at 38.4K baud).
• The decoder has been assigned a polling address and you wish to access
the decoder's menu.
Access to the configuration menus of a decoder that is in a polled mode can
be forced by use of a profile card (see mode 0 in
Configuration"), or by sending the <D> command from an auxiliary termi-
nal via the auxiliary RS-232 port.
Using the Profile Card
Procedure:
1. Turn power to the
decoder ON.
2. Connect end of the
profile card labeled
"DECODER" to the
decoder's host con-
nector.
3. Set all four "MODE"
switches to OFF and
set number 3 "DATA" switch to ON (as shown in
4. Press the "LOAD" button.
5. Listen for two beeps in succession (the second louder than the first). If the
beeps do not occur as described, repeat the default procedure.
1. There are no menu options or host commands for resetting the configuration program.
