RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Maintenance

Parameter Database Updating
The parameter database information is stored on an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory (EEPROM) (SK900) on the BCM. Occasionally, new parameters are added to
support a new feature of the RF-B! transmitter controller software. Efforts are made to keep
backwards compatibility with older software versions to avoid the need to reprogram the
parameter database whenever the software is upgraded. In certain cases, you may also need
to manually initialize new parameters (using FIPS) without resetting the entire database.
In certain instances initializing the parameter database becomes necessary. See paragraph,
"Initializing New Parameters" to decide if any new parameters need to be manually initialized
using FIPS. Check the software release notes to determine if a hard reset is required.
