2.3 Setup Procedure

Here is the procedure for setting up the external computer and the AR-3000.

1) Connections with the computer

Use an RS-232C cable to connect the two devices. Refer to “2.4 Connections with the computer.”

2)Turn on the power for the AR-3000 and the computer

3)Computer settings

Set the communication parameters. Refer to “2.5 Computer settings.”

4) AR-3000 settings

Set the communication parameters. Refer to “2.6 AR-3000 settings.”

5) Operate the AR-3000

Transmit data between the external computer and the AR-3000.

2.4Connections with the Computer

1)Turn off the power of the AR-3000 and the computer.

2)Use the appropriate cable to connect the RS-232C -compatible connector of the computer to the RS-232C connector located on the rear panel of the AR-3000. Refer to “2.1.1 Connector and Cable” for the appropriate cable to use.

2.5Computer Settings

1)Communication parameters for the computer

Communication method	start - stop system (asynchronous) full duplex
Baud rate	4800 / 9600 / 19200 BPS
	38400 BPS (for compatibility with legacy models : AR-2000 / AR-1)
Parity	none
Data length	8 bits
Stop bit	1 bit
Code set	ASCII
Xon Xoff	on

If you are using MS-DOS, the above settings can be made using the “SPEED” and “SWITCH” commands. For details on these settings, refer to your MS-DOS owner's manual.

2.6 AR-3000 Settings

When using the AR-3000 via RS-232C, the baud rate must be specified.

Also, in order for it to be controlled via RS-232C, the AR-3000 must not be in the Mode menu (the MODE indicator must not be lit).

2.6.1 Baud Rate

If the AR-3000's power is turned on when a card is not inserted, the baud rate will default to 9600 bps. If a card is then inserted, the settings will change to the settings which are contained in the card. However this will occur only for the first-inserted card, and subsequently inserted cards will be ignored. If you wish to modify the baud rate during operation, use the following procedure on the AR-3000 to change it.
