FT-512 Trailblazer Installation and User Manual version 1.09 20
3.1.4 Running the FT-512 GUI CD in a computer
Please have the COM cable connected before starting the GUI program. After a
brief CWT splash screen with the GUI version number you will get a Select Port
choice window.
Figure 10: COM Port Selection
Use this to select which COM port you have the SC cable connected to. Typically
this is COM1 or COM2. Ignore the statement that “the configured serial port is
not valid”. This window will no longer appear once you (see below) have
selected a default COM port on the password tab.
3.1.5 Password Entry and Privileges
You will need to enter your password and then hit the TAB key. The factory set
password for this is “superuser”.
This screen allows for 3 levels of privileges including changing your password.
Figure 11: Password Screen
The Super User can change any assignments including the unit’s SFD number,
and the default COM port setting.
The Normal User can change any assignments except the unit’s SFD number,
and the default COM port settings.
The Restricted user cannot change any assignments. He/She can only view the
current settings and perform tests.
3.1.6 Configuring the Basic Parameters
The next screen presented is the Configure screen. This is where the setup of
the radio is done.
