3-1. Preface
The NXR-710 is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, programming interface (KPG-46/46A) and program-
ming software (KPG-129D).
The programming software can be used with a PC. Fig-
ure 1 shows the setup of a PC for programming.
3-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the NXR-710 to the computer using the inter-
face cable and USB adapter (When the interface cable is
KPG-46A, the KCT-53U can be used.).
Note:
• You must install the KCT-53U driver in the computer to
use the USB adapter (KCT-53U).
• When using the USB adapter (KCT-53U) for the first time,
plug the KCT-53U into a USB port on the computer with
the computer power ON.
2. When power is applied, the user mode is entered im-
mediately. When the PC sends a command, the repeater
enters the PC mode and displays “PC” on the 7-seg-
ment LED. When data is being transmitted to the PC
from the repeater, the TX LED fl ashes. The BUSY LED
fl ashes when data from the PC is being received by the
repeater.
Note:
• The data stored in the personal computer must match
the model type, when it is written into the fl ash memory.
• Change the NXR-710 to PC mode, then attach the inter-
face cable.
