Updating via RS-232
Using the serial interface, handlers and locked records can be quickly transferred from one
programmer to another. One D5200 is the "Sending Programmer" of handlers and records,
and the second D5200 is the "Receiving Programmer". If the Receiving Programmer already
has the handler to be updated, the Sending Programmer transfers only its locked records (i.e.
NEWRECORD) to the Receiving Programmer. If the Receiving Programmer does not
currently contain the handler to be transferred, the Sending Programmer transfers the
handler and all locked records (i.e. NEWRECORD) to the Receiving Programmer. Connect
the two programmers together (RS-232 port to RS-232 port) with a Radionics D5204 cable
(2 feet long) as shown in Figure 27. A 25-foot cable in this configuration can be purchased
from Radio Shack (Cat. No. 279-422). To build a custom cable, purchase Radio Shack Cat.
No. 279-421. This kit consists of 10 six-pin modular connectors. (A crimping tool is required
to build a custom cable.) All six conductors are required.
