6 PROGRAMMING
To program the DTX Module, the RITRON PC Programming Kit, DTXP-PCKT, must be used.
6.1 PC PROGRAMMING KIT
The user should install the programming software on the host computer. The RITRON adapter cables
connect the radio to a computer’s serial communications port. Once the cables are hooked up, the user runs
the programmer software. This program transfers data between radio and computer memory.
6.1.1 PROGRAMMING KIT CONTENTS AND REQUIREMENTS
UPDATE THIS
The RITRON Programming Kit includes the following:
1. Programming software that is contained on two diskettes.
2. PC to radio adapter cable, which is terminated at one end with a DB-25F connector and at the other
end with a modular plug. The DB-25 connector plugs into the computer’s serial port, the modular plug
into an adapter.
3. The adapter for use with the DTX Plus series of radios. This adapter mates the modular plug to a DB-
15M plug for connection to the radio. The adapter also includes wires for powering the unit. The red
wire is for positive voltage, the black for negative. Insure that the correct voltage is applied to the unit.
The Programmer Kit requires a PC compatible computer with Windows 95 or later operating system
installed. The computer must have an RS-232 serial port available. A hard disk drive is also required.
6.2 LOADING THE PROGRAMMER SOFTWARE
Insert the CD ROM which contains the programmer in the CD/DVD/CD ROM drive of the host computer.
The program should load automatically. If not, view the contents of the CD ROM and double click on the
install.exe file. Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen. At the conclusion of the installation
procedure, the programming software will be resident on the user’s host computer.
