4.1. Using the 712
USB/Soundcard Interface
To use the 712 soundcard interface for digital
modes, connect the 712 device between the
ACC-1 connector and the USB port on your
Windows computer. Using your favorite
audio generated digital programs can now be
used with the Eagle. Audio adjustments may
need to be made using the audio mixer within
your Windows software for proper receive
and transmit ALC levels. When using the
ACC-1 for audio input, the LINE should be
selected for the audio input. See Section
“Selecting AUX Audio (11)” for more
information.
4.2. Interfacing to a computer
and firmware updates
The software interface for the EAGLE utilizes
standard Windows driver supplied with
Windows versions XP through Windows 7.
An installation program is available for
download at the TenTec download webpage
for the EAGLE. Start at www.tentec.com, and
follow the links until you get to the EAGLE’s
Download page. Look for the latest
instructions entitled “USB to UART driver
Installation….”. Download and follow the
instructions.
If at any time you need to see what “port” the
Eagle is connected to, go back into Device
Manager, expand the “Ports (COM & LPT)”
selection, and you should see “USB to UART
(COMx)”. Note the x in the COMx that is
reported by Device Manager. You will use
this number when running cat programs, the
update.exe program, etc.
