There are two ways how to start the rfbaseCUE to operate in service mode.

1. Standard

entry of service mode

Connect your PC to the rfbaseCUE HOST connector and run program SRVRFB.EXE. It switches
the rfbaseCUE into service mode.


2. Low level entry of service mode

If the rfbaseCUE does not respond to you or you do not have program SRVRFB.EXE, you must
remove upper cover of the rfbaseCUE. This way you get the access to buttons RESET an TEST
on the printed board. The TEST button is situated near receiving RF module while RESET button
is situated near microprocessor.
Then do the following

• Press both buttons on rfbaseCUE interface: RESET and TEST.
• Release RESET button still holding TEST for several more sec. (approx. 5 sec. is enough).

This will cause the rfbaseCUE to start in service mode.


When the unit is in service mode, the DATA LED indicator starts to blink regularly.

Start the terminal program on your PC and then set communication parameters to

Baud Rate....................................................19200
Data Bits ......................................................8
Stop Bits ......................................................1
Parity............................................................None
Flow Control ................................................Xon/Xoff
Connector ....................................................COM1 or COM2 (depending on which channel is used).

By pressing N button in terminal program the following message appears.
CRAM not installed

Now the rfbaseCUE is waiting for commands from PC keyboard. Selecting H you will see a brief
