When turned on the synthesizer is inactive until the vendor is
placed into service mode. The synthesizer must be plugged into
the DEX plug on the control board. A utility cable (AMS P/N
20786, Harness, Chip Programming) may be used, but it must be
plugged into a male-to-male gender adapter (Radio Shack 26-
231B) followed by a null modem adapter (Radio Shack 26-264).
The serial cable from the DoubleTalk LT is plugged into the null
modem adapter. The ¼” jack from the utility cable is then
plugged into the DEX plug on the control board (other DEX
functions cannot be used while the DoubleTalk LT is plugged in).
A dedicated cable could also be constructed.
5. Serial Number
– Field ID101 in the DEX data report is for the
machine’s Serial Number and can be used to identify the
different machines on your route. This field default is the Serial
Number of the Control Board itself.
This menu option allows you to program a Serial Number of your
choice up to 10 digits long
.
Enter the number you want to use – up to 10 Digits – and press *
to Save. If you make a mistake, simply press # to Exit the
process without saving.
When you press * to Save your new number, the Display will
briefly show “MACHINE SN SAVED” and then prompt you with
the question:
“USE FOR
CHANGER SN?”
“1 YES 2 NO”
If you choose YES, the number you just entered will be reported
in both the ID101 and the CA101 fields of your DEX reports.
Choose NO to retain the unique serial number of your coin mech
in CA101. (
Use NO unless you have a special reason for having
this special DEX reporting scheme.)
