To
program
the
Vertex VXR-5000 repeater,
you will
need
the VPL-l connection cable,
programming
diskette
and
an
IBM
PC/
AT
or
PS/2
-compatible
type
computer
with:
o
at
least 512 K RAM
o PC DOS
or
MS DOS 2.0
or
later
Done
51/4"
(360
K
or
1.2
MB)
floppy drive
o a monochrome
or
color
monitor
o one serial
port
(COM
1)
with
25-pin con-
nector (or suitable 9-pin adapter).
Of
course
you
also need a printer
if
you
want
to
get
hard
copy
of the data.
The Vertex
programming
diskette contains
the following files:
o CES.EXE - The EEPROM
programming
program
o CES.HLP - The help file
used
by
the
main
program
o INSTRUCT.DOC - A text file containing a
copy of these instructions (in case
you
mis-
lay these instructions)
Before connecting the repeater for pro-
gramming,
turn
off
your
computer
and
the
repeater,
and
connect the VPL-l program-
ming
interface cable to the
computer
and
re-
pea
ter
as
shown
below.
Then
restart
the
computer. Turning off the
equipment
during
interconnection avoids
damage
to the elec-
tronics.
When
ready
to
run
the
program
(after
booting
DOS), place
your
copy
of
the
Vertex
diskette (not
the
original!) into
drive
A,
and
log
on
to this
drive
(type A:Enter
).
Then
type
CES
-A Enter to
start
the
program.
You
should
be
greeted briefly
by
an
introductory
screen,
as
shown
at
the
top
of
the
next
page. Depend-
ing
on
which
data
you
will
be
editing
in the
VXR-5000,
you
may
have
to
add
a different
software
"switch"
to
the
command
line, see
the the next
page
for details.
Important!
Do
not
work
directly
with
the
CE-S
programming
diskette!
Make
a
copy
of
it
and
use the copy
when
programming
the repeater, since
you
will
be
storing
data
on
it. Keep it
in
a safe place
in
case
you
need to
make
another
copy
of it
later. The
manuals
that
come
with
your
computer
should
explain
how
to
make
a copy of the diskette,
using
the
DOS
COpy
command.
If
you
want
to
be
able
to boot
your
computer
from
the
pro-
gramming
diskette copy,
use
the
FOR-
MAT
command
with
/S
parameter(on
a
blank diskette) to
make
a
system
disk,
and
then
copy the files from
the
original
diskette.
