- Smart Brick Brain Configuration -
To configure the system you first need to connect the system just as you do for any serial communi-
cations (see the 'Smart Brick System Commands' section of the manual). The configuration mode is en-
tered by the command:
ÒmÓ (5AA5) (track#)
Typically, the Smart Brick Brain is configured to respond when addressed as track Ф00Х, and so the
string you send the Brick Brain is Ôm5AA500Õ. The Ô5AA5Õ part of the string acts like a combination lock to
keep random noise on the serial input lines from accidentally entering the configuration mode.
This command brings up the Main Menu from the Brick Brain which was addressed. (In this case this
shows the default condition of a Smart Brick Brain as they are normally shipped.)

Enter command-
If the key and TRACK# match, the card addressed by the TRACK# will put a configuration menu on
the screen. When this mode is entered by any Brick Brain or Digital Audio Repeater card on the same se-
rial network, it disables all of the other serial commands on all the other cards in the system. As with the
normal serial command mode, the upper and lower 'case' of all input is important. An 'a' is a command
while an 'A' is a number. All numeric values are entered in HEX (0 - 9, A - F)
If another command is entered while the last command is waiting for additional input, the new com-
mand will be started. If at any point you enter a command in error and it is waiting for additional input,
you can leave the command by entering an <ESC>ape key. With the exception of the GROUP ENABLE
and STRING ENTRY commands, they will only be changed up to the point where you <ESC>aped
If you want to keep a hard copy printout of the current configuration of any screen, you should use
the <ESC>ape key to redraw the screen while saving the data returned in the modem program running
on your computer. This file can then be printed out at any time.
