Programming and Set Up
The RF Call Box requires software configuration to set the operating parameters. It is highly
recommended to program and bench-test the unit prior to field installation.
A computer with a COM port (RS-232) and Windows95 or newer operating system is required to
program the RF Call Box. Windows NT operating system is not supported. If the PC contains only USB
ports, a USB–to–RS-232 converter is also required. Programming accessories are sold separately. They
are described below:
The No. XAC4000A Programming Bundle with CARD Suite Programming Software and No.
XAC0004A programming cable are used to program the operating parameters.
The -001 and -002 RF Call Boxes also require the radio transceiver to be programmed. The No. 19191-
024 RF Programming Kit includes the software and cable for programming the desired frequency and
optional PL code into the radio transceiver.
