You may want to tell your communications program to open a log file at this point.
It will come in handy for checking if any of the commands caused errors.
Start an ASCII upload of your file.
Wait until it finishes.
Close the log file if you opened one.
Try out your new settings. 009 will check the crosspoint and 008 will check the
DTMF muting. Go back to your editor, make the required changes, and repeat the
cycle.
Note about spaces in serial commands:
The controller totally ignores spaces in commands you enter from the serial port. Spaces are
shown in the manual to make it easier to see the separate groups of characters; you may want
to do this in your upload files as well. Spaces are never required, but you can put them
wherever you want in your serial commands to make them easier to read.
Note about comments in serial upload files:
You can put as many comments in your upload files as you want. Anything following a ';' will
be considered a comment and will be totally ignored by the controller. If you want a whole line
to be a comment, just start it with a semicolon like this:
; this line is a comment.
If you want to put a comment after a command (on the same line), do it like this:
N000 11 ; this is a comment - this command makes port 1 a repeater.
It is highly recommended that you comment your upload files throughly. You will thank
yourself when you go back months later and try to figure out what you were trying to do.
Note about capital letters:
By default the RLC-3 converts everything you type to a capital letter. This is because DTMF
characters are always treated as capital letters and it avoids confusion. However, there may be
a time when you would like to enter lower case letters, such as when you send serial messages
with Command 032. At those times you can turn off the conversion to all capital letters with
Command 060.
Note about download speeds:
If you download a file with more than a dozen commands or so in it, you may find that the
responses from the RLC-3 get way behind, or even get lost with the message "Serial Output
Queue just overflowed - it now looks empty". This is caused by the RLC-3 trying to send back
all of the descriptive responses to the commands and not being able to send the responses as
