PROGRAMMING ENCODER FROM FRONT PANEL
OVERVIEW
If a Model 25 Encoder has a display and a DTMF keypad (901-9019), it may be programmed
in one of two ways: directly from the front keypad or from a PC acting as a terminal. This
section of the manual describes the programming from the front panel. Once you become
familiar with the Model 25, this is the quickest way to make changes in the configuration of
the unit.
How Programming is Organized
The Model 25 programming is organized in six sections. These sections are groups of related
questions that when answered determine how the Model 25 will operate. Below is a list of
the six sections.
1. Initializing and Clearing This section will clear individual sections or all
sections to their factory settings.
2. Tone Format Selection Format selection and timing are assigned in this
section.
3. Custom Calls Setup Special calls which include Plectron, Federal, and
nonstandard may be assigned.
4. Instant Call Button Setup Individual calls are assigned to INSTANT CALL
buttons.
5. General and Send Button Setup Setup of SEND buttons and Channel Busy inputs.
6. Remote Control Setup Baud rate and serial port settings.
Each of the sections performs a different function in the Model 25. To make changes to the
settings in a section you must first “enter” the section. From the keypad, this requires that
you hold down two keys one time. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally entering a
section.
Once in the section the Model 25 will prompt you for an entry to the first question. All of the
questions can be answered with a 1- to 5-digit entry from the keypad.
The questions within a section form a “loop” as shown below. Once the proper number of
digits has been entered for the first question the encoder will automatically continue on to the
next question and again prompt you for an entry. Once the digits have been entered for the
last question in the section the Model 25 will load the new information into its memory and
return back to the first question. At that point, you may press RESET to return to the idle
state or continue on and complete the question loop again if more than one pass through this
section is required to complete the configuration of the unit (as in assigning calls to Instant
Call buttons in “PROGRAMMING SECTION 4 - INSTANT CALL BUTTON SETUP” on
page 89).
