RFC-1 Advanced Operation page 6.49
6.8.14 Backing-up System Settings
The following instructions assume that you know how to connect and operate the RFC-1 in data mode with the
installed data accessory. The examples use HyperTerminal in Windows. Other software and other computer
platforms will work. Use appropriate terminal emulation software that is for the operating system.
Using HyperTerminal to capture the RFC-1/B settings
To backup the system settings, connect the terminal to the data port. The connection method will vary depending on
the data accessory used. If a direct connection is used, follow the instructions below from the beginning. If a remote
connection is used, establish a connection to the RFC-1 as you normally would then skip to step 3 below.
1. Connect the terminal, start the terminal software and open a connection on the appropriate port. If
the factory settings are used then the data format is 2400 baud 8,N,1. Flow control should be set
to none or software.
2. Connect to the RFC-1 with the local telephone.
3. In the HyperTerminal menu bar, select Transfer > Capture Text. A dialog window will open that
prompts for a filename. Select a folder where the data should be stored and provide an appropriate
filename. Use the default extension .txt because this will be a pure text file.
4. Access the RFC-1 and enter the command 84. The RFC-1 will prompt for a “one-digit command”.
Enter 4 to start the data dump.
5. The RFC-1 will begin sending data. The data will appear in the terminal window and it will be
captured to the text file that was specified above. This will take several seconds.
6. The RFC-1 will say “OK” when the dump is complete. The final character in the dump will be a ❊.
7. In the HyperTerminal menu bar, select Transfer > Capture Text > Stop. This closes the file and
stops HyperTerminal from adding any more data to it. The final character in the file must be the ❊.
8. The process is complete. The file contains the data backup suitable for reprogramming the RFC-1.
