make a backup copy and store the master in a safe
place. To make a copy of the distribution disk with
Windows NT or Windows 95 Explorer, right click the
floppy drive icon and select Copy Disk.

Creating a Windows Shortcut or Program Icon
To run the program from Windows NT or Win-
dows 95, a shortcut icon can be created that can then
be double clicked to start the program. To create this
shortcut icon, select Start -> Settings -> Taskbar.
Then select the Start Menu Programs tab and click the
Add button. Information is then displayed to com-
plete the process.
3.2.3 STARTING THE PROGRAM
There are several ways to start the LTR-Net Pro-
grammer. First, the program can be started by double
clicking on the shortcut icon. This starts the program
with an empty information file (Locality file). A
Locality file contains all of the programming informa-
tion for all repeaters installed at a Locality.
A second method of starting the program is to use
the Explorer to change to the directory containing
Locality files, then double click on one of those Local-
ity files. This starts the programmer and automati-
cally loads the selected file. This is normally the most
convenient method to start the program, as it pre-loads
all of the repeater data for a Locality.
Once files have been opened or saved from
within the programmer, those filenames will show up
in the taskbar Documents selection. allowing the pro-
gram to be started by selecting the desired Locality
file from the Start menu.
Refer to Section 4 for detailed information about
the LTR-Net Programmer’s contents and Section 5 for
the parameters and their descriptions for the Locality
and Repeater programming.
