MLR2-DG RECEIVER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Introduction:
The MLR2-DG can be programmed through the serial port #2 on the CPM2 from a computer, with the DOS-based MLR2-
DG programming software. This method of programming is more user friendly, faster and each installation configuration
can then be saved on disk. For more information or ordering, please contact your distributor.
QUICK START
The following steps must be taken so as to utilize the receiver PC software :
Note: A RS-232 standard cable is required between COM2 and PC.
• Update the CPM2 firmware to version 2.1 or later if necessary (Cold Boot).
• Manually set the CPM2 COM2 to 300 baud, 8 data bits, even parity and 1 stop bit (Default).
• Manually set the CPM2 COM2 format to 0 (zero) (Default).
• Make sure the CPM2 and computer are well connected (COM2).
• Insert the diskette in Drive A and type A:INSTALL <ENTER>.
• Hit any key when prompted by the Sur-Gard Logo.
• Choose File-New and press <ENTER> to create a new data file.
• Choose the Setup function to select the COM port.
• Choose the Edit/View-CPM2 function to edit and program the CPM2 options.
• Choose the Edit/View-Line function to define type of line cards that need to be programmed.
• When in the Line Card Selection window choose the Edit function to edit and program the line card options.
• Repeat the previous step for every card installed in the receiver.
• Close the Line Card Selection window by pressing Alt-C and exit by pressing Alt-X.
• Please note that the instruction manual may be accessed from the help menu.
NOTE: The new options available on the CPM2 v2.3 cannot be programmed from the MLR2 programming soft-
ware. If the programming software is utilized for CPM2 programming, the new options MUST be programmed
manually. The programming software can still be used to program the line cards. A new version of the program-
ming software will be available on our web site at
www.sur-gard.com during the fall of 1997.
