Code Upgrading
The DR-915L has been designed for easy field upgrades. Using the RS-232 Serial
Adapter board, a DR915 Programming cable, a standard Serial Configuration cable and
a current version of the DR-915L/LT Configuration program running on the user’s PC,
the radio can be re-flashed with new operating code. Special customer code can also
be loaded in this manner.
With the radio mounted on an RS232 Serial Adapter board, connect a program upgrade
cable from the programming connector, J4, on the Adapter board to the parallel port on
the PC. Connect a standard DB9 male-to-female serial cable from the Adapter board’s
DB9, J2, and to the serial port on the PC. Power the Adapter board using the supplied
12-volt wall module connected to the Adapter board’s power jack, P8.
Using the DR-915L/LT Configuration program, click on the Flash tab. Select the
software version from the Software Version drop-down box and then press the Program
Flash button. The Configuration program will then read the setup information from the
radio, upgrade the radio code and reload the original configuration.
