Receiver to Receiver Data Transfer

Your receiver is able to receive data from another receiver via its RS232 port. For this, the two receivers are interconnected via a so- called zero-modem cable. The transmitting receiver is the “master”, and the receiving receiver is the "slave".

Preparations

The master and slave are first switched to standby mode and then disconnected from the mains by pressing the power switch.

The data ports of the two receivers are interconnected by a zero- modem cable.

The master is then switched on again.

Programme List Download

Simultaneously press Í (left arrow button) and “SELECT” under the front flap of the master to transfer the programme list.

The slave can now be switched on. The transfer begins.

During downloading, the display of the master shows “t001 t002 .. t00n”, while the slave correspondingly shows “r001 r002..r00n”.

The LED displays ---- during the block transfer.

If both receivers indicate “Succ”, the download was successful.

Operating System Software Download

The procedure for downloading the operating system software is the same as that described above.

Start the transfer of the operating system software by simultaneously pressing Î (right arrow button) and “SELECT” under the front flap of the master.

During downloading, the display of the master shows “t001 t002 .. t00n”, while the slave correspondingly shows “r001 r002..r00n”.

The LED displays ---- during the block transfer.

If both receivers indicate “Succ”, the download was successful.

If any problems occur in transmission, the master display will show “F * * *”, with * representing a numerical value. In such cases, check the cable connection and retry.

The receiver to receiver data exchange as described above must only be carried out between devices of the same type, otherwise malfunctions or total loss of the operating system software may occur.

On no account may the receivers be switched off or the connection interrupted during data transfer. This may result in data loss, malfunctions or total failure of the operating system.

Always wait until the “Succ” or “F * * *” message appears on the display.
