IV. Using the Tuner Configurator Software
The Configurator Software is tabbed, wizard style software that
easily moves you through the T2FAM-EX setup and
implementation as a NuVoNet source or as a standalone source
controllable by IR or Serially. Within the Configurator you can
set up the source address and presets for an installation and
download the information to the T2FAM-EX’s FLASH memory
prior to its installation. Its non-volatile memory will retain the
configuration indefinitely while the Tuner is unplugged.
1.0 Start (Fig. 24)
The start tab allows you to load an existing configuration or
create a new one. You can also retrieve and edit a configuration
from an existing Tuner. When the computer is connected to the
Tuner via its RS232 port, you can click on Retrieve
Configuration from Tuner and make any necessary edits.
When the edited version is downloaded to the Tuner, the
previous configuration will be overwritten.
To start a new configuration or open an existing configuration,
click on the Load Existing or Create New Configuration
button. The File Name field allows you to give a new
configuration a new name.

2.0 Config (Fig. 25)
The Config tab is for the initial setup, which determines basic
tuner operation. Within the Config Tab the first step is to
establish the correct tuner model being configured. Make that
model choice from the Tuner Model menu.

2.1 NuVoNet Operating Mode (Fig. 26): This drop down menu
allows you to select between Stand Alone or as a NuVoNet
Source 1- 6 . If you are using the Tuner as NuVoNet source
with a NuVo System, you must select a unique, dedicated
source input for each Tuner (A and B) being configured.
Stand Alone will set the output for any use other than
NuVoNet. Making the appropriate NuVoNet Source selection
properly sets the Tuner’s outputs for full communication when
the configuration is downloaded to the Tuner.
