type F9, press t(RETURN) to enter the information,

:etc. Another means of entering consecutive Function Button numbers or Line Button numbers in program mode is available. For the PC8300, instead of entering Fl c(RETURN) then F9 c(RETURN) then F17 c(RETURN) (Class of Service Assignment), you can enter up to 16 characters by using only the first F or L in the string of numbers and inserting a comma ( , ) after each item to send the information to the RAA-E, therefore the same information could be entered as Fl, 9, 17 c(RETURN). Once a t(RETURN) is used, you must enter another F or L to begin another string. Another example of entering line button assignments while in the Line Key Assignment, Memory Block (Fl, F6) is as follows: the line button assignments can be

checked by typing Ll t(RETURN) then L2 c(RETURN) then L3 c(RETURN) etc. A fast method would be Ll, 2, 3, etc. while viewing each assignment every time the comma is used.

For IBM compatible computers, Memory Blocks can be entered as follows; Example: with Memory Block lD7

(Class of Service) - Enter “MlD-7”. Note that an underline(_) must follow the Memory Feature Selection and precede the Memory Feature Item. Line Key selection is then performed one line key at a time.

When assigning a name in Memory Block 3C, an ! must be entered as a lead character in front of the name being assigned. The ! tells the computer that what follows is an alphabetical string instead of a command. After the new name is entered, press c(RETURN) to enter the name in the display followed by a CTRL-E which enters the name in memory. If more characters are entered, ALARM 1 is displayed and the extra character is not accepted.

SECTION 950

SYSTEM Up’~PL~VD&lWN LOAD

950.1GENERAL

The Electra Mark11 Digital Telephone System Up Load/Down Load software program (DATASAVE) provides a means of storing system programming on diskette or hard drive. By storing the system program on diskette, the entire system software can be reloaded without having to manually reprogram the system. In addition, by using the RAA software, “COMLINK”, with the System data Up/Down Load, Maintenance and Diagnostics is made easier and more efficient. This is a desirable feature to have in case of a system power failure where memory is lost. The programming may be accomplished from a Local or Remote location.

’CPU-EBB (or higher)ETUs can be saved on diskette.

CHAPTER 9

APRIL, 1990

Down Loading system data during traffic conditions does not pose a problem for data transfer. However, system operation cannot be guaranteed if Up Loading is attempted during system usage.

The “DATASAVE” software has been provided on a double sided, double density (DS/DD) diskette. Storing System Data requires 800Kb of free disk space;therefore, you will need to store system data from the customer’s site on either a PC hard drive or a double sided, high density (DS/HD) diskette.

950.2EQUIPMENT / SOFTWARE REQUIRED and INSTALLATION

Refer to Sections 910-920 and Section 940.5 concerning the RAA-E Unit and IBM compatible type software ONLY. DATASAVE software cannot be used with the PC8300 computer.

‘*

RAA-E Unit is required (Rev. 3 or higher). If your RAA is lower than Rev. 3, please order RAA Upgrade Kit, Stock No. 700537.

The PC that is being used must be operating with MS- DOS version 3.2 or higher.

If DATASAVE software is used from a remote location, RAA software (IBM version COMLINK only) must be used first to establish a connection with the remote site.

950.3PC SYSTEM SETUP

Before using the System Data Up/Down Load program,

your PC must include the following in its CONFIGSYS File: DEVICE = DOS\ANSI.SYS. If your MS-DOS program is under a different directory name other than “DOS”, substitute this name for DOS when you assign Device. The best way to check if this file already includes ANSI.SYS as a device is to type the following from the C:> prompt: TYPE CONFIG.SYS and press RETURN.

If DEVICE=DOSANSI.SYS is included in this file, you may proceed with Section 950.4. If it is not included, proceed with the following steps to include ANSI.SYS as a device. (This information is included in the MS-DOS manual that came with your PC.)

A.After typing, TYPE CONFIG.SYS, write down all of the information that was printed on the screen, exactly line for line.

B.To include DEVICE =DOS\ANSI.SYS, type the following command: COPY CON CONFIGSYS and press RETURN.
