RoadRunner USERS GUIDE

Note that once you select the NOMUX mode, you do not have local

remote control of the RoadRunner. Any data typed into your

connected computer will be sent to the far-end codec. To break out

of this mode, just type ‘+++’ to switch back to a mode that supports

remote control.

The far-end codec must be in the same mode and have the same rate

settings as the local RoadRunner.

Two ancillary data formats are currently available. Use the CCS format

when connecting to another MUSICAM USA product. Use the Generic

format when connecting to other manufacturers compatible codecs.

Note: when connecting to any model CDQPrima or Prima LT, the far-

end codec must be in the NOMUX mode of ancillary data.

From the keypad, use the sequence:

to select the Encoder format, and the sequence:

Ancillary Data><Layer 2 Fmt><Dec Fmt>

to select the Decoder format. From a terminal, use the EAF and DAF

commands.

Remote Control

The RoadRunner can be connected to a computer or terminal for remote

control operation. Any terminal emulation program for PC, Macintosh

or Sun can be used as long as VT-100 emulation, no parity, 8 data bits

and 1 stop bit is supported. A standard, 9-pin RS232 data cable is used

to connect your PC’s Com port to the RoadRunner’s remote control

connector. X-ON/X-OFF protocol is not supported. See appendix C for

the connector pin-outs.

There are well over 50 commands that are used to operate all

RoadRunner functions. On-line command syntax help is available for

all remote control commands, and is accessed from the terminal by

typing

HELP command where command is the 3-letter command name.

All commands are divided into categories, such as common, encoder,

decoder, etc. Command categories are listed by the command
