- AB/DR-3000 S OFTWARE C ONFIGURATION -
The configuration on a AB/DR-3000 tells it what you want to happen when it receives signals on its in-
puts and what it does on its outputs. Typically the configuration needs only be done once on each unit.
There is only one way to configure a AB/DR-3000. This is through the serial port. To do this, you need to
connect the system just as you do for any serial communications (see the 'serial commands' section of
the manual). You can use any computer (Mac or PC), or even a dumb terminal. The configuration
mode is entered by the command:
"m" (5AA5) (CARD#)
EXAMPLE: To bring up the configuration screen for a card addressed as ÔADDRESS 00Õ (An address of 00h
is the normal address when a AB/DR-3000 is shipped):
m 5 A A 5 0 0
The ÒmÓ is the command for entering the configuration mode. The (5AA5) part of the command is a
Ôcombination lockÕ to keep this mode from being inadvertently entered. If the ÔcombinationÕ and CARD#
match, the card addressed by the CARD# will put a configuration menu on the screen. When this mode
is entered by any device on the same serial network, it disables all the other serial commands on all the
other devices in the system.
The AB/DR-3000 brings up the following Main Menu screen:
