From the MAIN MENU, press F9 and then F3 to access this screen.

This screen is used to set default disk drive paths for archive ﬁles, back-up ﬁles,

and TCMS authorization ﬁles. It is also used to select the asynchronous

communications port (COM 1 or COM 2) that the RIB/SRIB (radio interface

box) will be connected to.

Note: The Archive Path and the Bootstrap Code Path and FileName entries in

this example are for ASTRO Mobiles only. For ASTRO Portables, the Archive

Path will be C:\MRSS\ASTRO\ ARCHIVEP and the Bootstrap Code Path

and FileName will be C:\MRSS\ASTRO\UPGRADE\ASTROPBC.ENC.

Note: Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your computer for a

complete description of directory path names and asynchronous

communications ports.

Function Key Descriptions

F6 - COM TEST

(Communications Test)

Used to verify if your computer is set up correctly and is able to read and

program a radio codeplug properly. After your computer and RIB are

connected according to instructions in the Radio Service Software manual and

you have selected the appropriate communication port, turn on your radio

and execute the COM TEST function by pressing F6.

COM TEST will verify if your system is functioning properly by sending

commands to the radio and checking for the proper response. No codeplug

changes will result from these commands. An OK response will be displayed

in the Status Window if the system checks OK. Otherwise, error messages will

be displayed and you should consult Appendix A to diagnose the problem.

F8 - SAVE Used to save conﬁguration information to a ﬁle on your program disk. The

conﬁguration that you saved last will be used every time you run the RSS. The

conﬁguration may be changed and saved at any time.
