"q" (CARD#) 1/4 J6 Input Status:
This command responds with the current status of the 1/4 J6 input for the AB/DR-3000 specified by
the CARD#.
EXAMPLE: to poll the 1/4 J6 input status for AB/DR-3000 addressed at 55h: q 5 5 00

"r" (CARD#) Configuration Dump:
This command responds with the current contents of the configuration EEPROM for the AB/DR-3000
specified by the CARD#. This string of 4103 ASCII characters is led off by the character string 's5AA5'. As
it happens, this is the lead in string for the CONFIGURATION LOAD command. This allows you to save the
configuration of one or more AB/DR-3000s in a single file on your computer for later retrieval or archiv-
ing. You can simply and easily reload this data at any time. To save the data to the disk of your comput-
er:
1) Turn off all echo modes on the AB/DR-3000s.
2) Tell your computer to save all ASCII received from the AB/DR-3000.
3) Give this command to any one AB/DR-3000 in the system. The AB/DR-3000 will respond with a
seemingly endless string of gibberish.
4) Tell your computer to save all of the gibberish it received to its disk drive.
Step #3 above can be repeated for any number of AB/DR-3000s in the system. This stored file can
then be played back to one or more AB/DR-3000s where it will be reloaded into the configuration
EEproms of all the appropriate AB/DR-3000s in the system.

"s" (CARD#) (STRING) Load Configuration:
This command is used to download the configuration that was previously saved into one or more
AB/DR-3000s. If the EEPROM is write protected, the data will not be saved.
While a download is taking place the front panel will display ФE07Х, and all other repeater functions
are disabled. If all 4103 bytes of configuration data are relieved the AB/DR-3000 will display a Ôsuccessful
reloadÕ message and reboot. Assuming the data was good, the repeater will boot normally. If the data
was corrupt, the repeater should not recognize the configuration data and will reload the default config-
uration (message ФE04Х displayed on the front panel) during the reboot. If there is a pause in the upload-
ed data of more than about five seconds or not enough bytes are relieved, the AB/DR-3000 will display a
Ôbad reloadÕ message and reboot, reloading the default configuration as it does.
Since the CONFIGURATION DUMP command leads off its string with a 's5AA5', data saved in the
configuration dump command can be reloaded into the audio system by simply sending back to it. To
do this:
1) You will need to tell your terminal program to either use ÔACK/NACKÕ handshaking or delay
slightly between each character it sends. The advantage of using the handshaking is that a
download will only take about ten seconds. Using a delay between characters may take as
long as ten minutes. Some computers might not respond to the ACK/NACK signals with
enough speed to keep from overrunning the small (64 character) buffer on the AB/DR-3000. If
this is the case you may
have to use the delay between characters.
Usually the delay adjustment is set in one/tenths of a second, so a value of one/tenth of a
second is the minimum available delay.
