4. Plug one end of the RIB power supply into the RIB and the other
end into a wall outlet.
After you connect the hardware, switch on the radio by turning the
volume control clockwise. You will hear one of the following types of
tones.
You can install, start or explore the RSS using just the diskettes and
your computer if you do not have all the necessary hardware. You can
even update existing radio archive files stored on disk. What you
cannot do without the required hardware is read from or save
codeplug data to an actual radio and perform service functions.
Note:
If you are using a laptop computer and you plan to use the RSS
while the computer is in battery mode, you may need to set the serial/
parallel adapter to run on battery power. This can be accomplished
using the application diskette supplied by the computer manufacturer.
If this action is not performed, you are likely to receive serial bus errors.
Note:
If your RIB has a switch and LED, be sure to turn the switch on
before each programming session.
High-pitched, short
tone
Hardware is connected correctly and the radio’s
internal firmware is operating properly.
Note:
This tone may be disabled in the
codeplug and may not be heard.
Continuous low tone Critical failure or radio’s internal software
malfunction.
Caution
When programming or calibrating a radio, DO NOT
disconnect the radio from the RIB when the computer is
communicating with the radio. If you do so, the radio
may become inoperable. The only recommended time
to disconnect the radio is while you are at the MAIN
MENU or at any of the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM screens.
