any card, you should use the <ESC>ape key to redraw the screen while
saving the print in the modem program running on your computer. This file
can then be printed out at any time.

Note that only one card in the entire system is allowed to be in configura-

tion mode at one time. For this reason, if you try to put a card which doesnÕt
exist into configuration mode, not only will you not see a configuration
screen from that nonexistent card, no other card in the system will want to
listen to you until you take the nonexistent card out of configuration mode.
To do this, type a:

x n

The other cards will then start listening to you again.

The AB-100 and AB-Clock have a button hidden inside the case which is

used to reload the default configuration on the repeater. It is labeled as
DIPSW1-2. To use it you must:

a) Power down the AB-100 or AB-Clock. You should always do this by

unplugging the power supply from the wall rather than unplugging
the 5 pin DIN connector at the AB-100/AB-Clock.

b) Remove the AB-100 or AB-Clock case top.
c) Press and hold the button down while plugging the power supply

back into the wall.

d) After the repeater reboots, release the button.
d) Reassemble the AB-100/AB-Clock.

The defaults are now reloaded. You can reconfigure the AB-100/AB-Clock

through the serial port at address 00h operating at 9600 baud, no parity.

"a"

Enter Track Number:

This command is used to tell the card which addresses it should respond

to from the serial commands. No two cards in the system should have the
same address assigned to them. When loaded with the default con-
figuration, the address assigned to a card is 00. If more than one card is
used in the system, they should be plugged in one at a time and have their
addresses changed. Once it has been changed, each card can stay
plugged in the card cage.

Baud Rate:

The serial port on each Repeater card can support any of the following

baud rates:

1) 110
2) 150
3) 300
4) 600
5) 1200
6) 2400
7) 4800
8) 9600

(default value)

9) 19,200
10)

48,000

11)

96,000

The lower baud rates may require that the dead man circuit will need to

be disconnected (U-7 pin #6) while in configuration mode. The reason for
this is that the dead man needs to be updated about once a second, and
at the lowest baud rates it will be spending so much time printing that it will
time out and reset the system. 9600 baud is an average speed to run the
