Remote Programming Interface (RPI)
4.1 GENERAL
NOTE: This section describes the -414 software that is
used to program LTR models. LTR-Net models are
programmed with different software (-457) that is
described in a separate addendum.
NOTE: Version 205 or later personality programming
software is required to program 470-512 MHz LTR
models, and Version 207 or later is required to
program data models.
4.1.1 PROGRAMMING SETUP
The following items are required to program the
transceiver. The part numbers of this equipment are
shown in Table 1-3 in Section 1. A programming set-
up is shown above.
• IBM® PC or compatible personal computer
• EFJohnson Remote Programming Interface (RPI),
Part No. 023-9800-000.
• Cables from the RPI to the computer and radio.
• EFJohnson programming software for 9800-
series transceiver (see “NOTE” above).
4.1.2 MINIMUM COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
The programming software is designed to run on
an IBM PC or compatible computer that meets the
following minimum requirements:
• 640K of memory
• 286 or faster microprocessor. Computers with 8086/
8088 microprocessors cannot be used (such as XT
compatibles).
• The personality program and help file use about
540K of disk space and are supplied on a 3-1/2”
1.44 M diskette only. Therefore, a computer with a
hard disk drive and 3-1/2” (1.44M) floppy drive is
required:
• MS-DOS version 5.0 or higher (Windows 3.1/95/
98/NT not required)
• One unused serial port
• Monochrome or color monitor
Although the program uses color to highlight
certain areas on the screen, a monochrome (black and
white) monitor also provides satisfactory operation.
An unused serial port is required to connect the RPI to
the computer. One or two serial ports are standard with
most computers. One port may be used by the mouse.
