9750A SETUP DUPLICATING
When multiple 9750A’s are used for similar purposes, you can program all screens, function keys, strings, etc., on
just one unit. Then using the following procedure, copy the confi guration to the other 9750A’s. Since confi guring
9750A’s can be quite complex, this feature can save a tremendous amount of time.
First you must obtain a 9-pin ‘D’ null modem cable. A null modem cable will swap transmit and receive lines.
However, it is important that pin 9, which is connected to the battery, is not cross-connected. Remove any con-
nection on pin 9. Source Code version must be the same in both units. If not, update the source code fi rst.
1) Disable any Auto Printing functions on both 9750A’s.
2) Confi rm both Comm Ports are set to the same baud rate. Defaults are 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity. The fi le is small enough that 9600 baud is plenty fast. Turn both units OFF.
3) Plug the Null Modem cable into both units. MAKE SURE PIN 9 IS NOT CONNECTED.
4) Turn on both 9750A’s. Wait for 10 seconds.
5) On the source unit (the one already confi gured), press
SETUP , SEND/PRINT , [4] , [4] , [4] .
6) On the receiving unit, press SETUP , SEND/PRINT , [4] , [4] , [4] , EXIT (Display key).
7) If the receiving unit is not displaying “MSI9750A-5” press POWER followed quickly by ESC.
8) Press
ID on the receiving unit.
9) Press [6] on the source unit. Receiving unit should say “LOADING”.
10) The source unit will display percent done.
When fi nished the receiving unit should reset. It may also ignore its fi rst key press.
