When loading or saving configurations, the left knob is used to scroll through the "save" or
“load” memory locations.
••
right knob. This knob is used to scroll through the "from" device numbers. Turning the
right knob clockwise increments the "from" device number, while turning it counter-clockwise
decrements the "from" device number. The "to" device number does not change, so turning the
right knob changes the "from" half of the to/from pair.
••
save button. Pressing this button puts the remote controller into save mode. When the
save button is pressed, the save indicator turns on, the from/load display goes blank, and the
to/save display indicates the save number. The left knob is used to select the save number.
Pressing the cancel button aborts this operation, while pressing the save button a second time
saves the configuration and returns the remote controller to normal mode.
••
load button. Pressing this button puts the remote controller into load mode. When the
load button is pressed, the load indicator turns on, the to/save display goes blank, and the
from/load display indicates the load number. The left knob is used to select the load number.
Pressing the cancel button aborts this operation, while pressing the load button a second time
loads the configuration and returns the remote controller to normal mode.
••
route button. Pressing this button sends the current configuration of the remote
controller to the Digital Detangler Pro and establishes the connection pattern in the router. Until
the route button is pressed, the configuration is local to the remote controller only -- the Digital
Detangler Pro will not change its configuration until this button is pressed. This allows you to make
configuration changes and not have them take effect until they are complete.
••
save indicator. This LED indicates that the remote controller is in save mode.
••
load indicator. This LED indicates that the remote controller is in load mode.
••
router # indicators. These LEDs indicate which router is being controlled by the remote
controller. To change the router number, press the load button and the save button at the same
time. Both the save indicator and the load indicator will light and both the to/save display and
the from/load display will go blank. Now, the left knob is used to change the router number,
which will be reflected by the router # indicators. The exit button is used to return to normal
operation.
••
escape button. This button is used to cancel load and save operations and to return to
normal operation from the router number change sequence.
When the power is first turned on, the Digital Detangler Pro wakes up with its own
configuration (the one stored in its own non-volatile memory) while the remote controller wakes up
in the configuration stored in memory location #1. Obviously, the Digital Detangler Pro and the
remote might not have the same configurations. Therefore, it is important to be able to determine
what configuration the Digital Detangler Pro is holding. To do this, simply load from memory
location #16 (in other words, hit the load button, turn the right knob until 16 shows on the
from/load display, and hit the load button again). The remote controller will now hold the same
configuration as the Digital Detangler Pro.
Although the remote controller will let you save the configuration to memory location #16,
don't do it since it will not be possible recall this configuration.
Figure 4 shows the RS422 input DB9 receptacle on the back of the Digital Detangler Pro. This is
the receptacle to which you should connect the router remote controller. Be careful if you are
using the Macintosh software interface for the Digital Detangler Pro -- please use the cable we
supply in order to connect your computer and the router. It is important to make note that pin 1
