Data Transfer from Receiver to Receiver
70
Data Transfer from Receiver to Receiver
Your receiver is able to receive the RS232C socket data from another
receiver. Here, both receivers must be connected via a so-called
'zero modem cable.' The transmitting receiver is in this case the mas-
ter and the receiving receiver is the slave.
Preparation
The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then
disconnected from the mains by pressing the power switch.
The data sockets of both receivers are connected with the zero mo-
dem cable.
The master is then switched on again.
Transferring channel lists
Simultaneously press the button (arrow left) and “SELECT” under
the front panel of the master to transfer the channel list.
The slave can now be switched on. The transfer procedure begins.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n
while the slave correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display displays "----" during block transmission.
The loading procedure was successful, if both receivers show the
message "Succ."
Transferring operating software
Follow the same procedure as described above for the purpose of
transferring operating software.
Start the transfer of the operating software by simultaneously pressing
the button (arrow right) and “SELECT” under the front panel of
the master.
While loading, the display of the master shows "t001 t002 .. t00n
while the slave correspondingly shows "r001 r002..r00n“.
The LED display displays "----" during block transmission.
The loading procedure was successful, if both receivers show the
message "Succ." Should transfer problems occur, "F * * *" will appear
in the master display where * stands for a numerical value. In this
case, check the cable connection and start a new transfer attempt.
The data transfer from receiver to receiver as described above
must only be carried out with devices of the same type as other-
wise malfunctions or total loss of the operating software may oc-
cur.
On no account must the receivers be switched off or the connection
interrupted during data transfer. This may otherwise result in data
loss, malfunctions or total failure of the operating system.
Always wait until the "Succ." or "F * * *“ message appears on the dis-
play.
