Software Installation Procedure (continued)

Important: As is the case during any program installation, it may be necessary to update some Windows

files. There is always the possibility that some software in a system can be damaged in this process. It is recom-

mended to save any of the PC’s valuable data files on diskette or a network before installing the program.

• Insert Diskette 1 into the floppy drive. Use standard Windows procedures to start the installation. For example: Click

on Start, then Run, then Browse to A:\SETUP.EXE. The install wizard should begin operation and will ask several

questions during the installation process. It is recommended that the program be placed in a folder named

EOSMACFQ. When all questions have been answered, the wizard will complete the installation.

Note: If the frequency reprogramming software was provided via email or some similar method, create a new folder

on your C drive or network for storing the files temporarily, then save them in that folder. The files are named

SETUP.EXE, SETUP.LST, and EOSMACFQ.CAB. Use standard Windows procedures to invoke SETUP.EXE.

• Windows may issue a message regarding updating some system files and restarting the computer. If this occurs, let the

computer reboot. When that operation is complete, start SETUP again. The installation wizard should begin operation.

• In some cases, Windows may issue messages regarding files in use, then give an option to abort the operation or

ignore the conflict. In such cases, choose IGNORE to continue installation.

• Windows may also issue warnings regarding files that are newer on the PC than in the installation suite. Generally, it

is best to keep the newer file.

Step 3: Connect the Decoder Module to the Power Supply and Computer

For E-Series OSMAC satellite:

• Plug the power supply output cable into the interface

adapter. Attach the 20-pin ribbon cable to the decoder

module as shown in Figure 3. Make sure the ribbon

cable is properly attached to the socket and the lock-

ing tabs are pushed inward.

For RDR OSMAC satellite:

• Connect the power supply to the interface cable as

shown in Figure 3. Connect the Red lead to the

decoder module 12VAC tab and the black lead to the

COM tab.

For both satellite types:

• Connect the DB-9 serial cable to the decoder module

9-pin socket and the serial port of the PC.

• Plug the power supply cord into a wall outlet. The Red

LED on the decoder module should illuminate to indi-

cate that the circuit is On.

• Place the 3-position mode switch in the TEST position.

Important: The switch must be in the TEST

position to enable frequency reprogramming. New

frequencies will not be downloaded if the switch is

in the NORMAL or RESET position.
