Receiving Data from the Switch
Before data can be exchanged between PC-DBA and the DX-120 system, you must Connect (F5) to the switch. After
you establish a successful connection between the DX-120 processor and the PC-DBA software, the system displays
the word Connect at the bottom of the screen, next to the time and date.
CAUTION!
• When you receive programming from the switch, the system overwrites the
corresponding programming on your PC with the settings from the switch.
Make sure you want to do this before proceeding.
• Always perform a Database Save (All) before a Database Receive (All)
operation if you want to preserve the current contents of the working
directory on the laptop.
• It is recommended that if you are making database changes to a system that
has been in operation for an extended period of time, that you perform a
Receive All operation prior to making any database changes on the laptop.
• Since some database fields (including Speed Dial and Service Mode) are
user adjustable, these fields will be overwritten if you perform a Send All
operation using an outdated PC-DBA laptop database.
From the PC-DBA main screen:
1) Connect PC-DBA to the switch.
