USE OF THE UNIVERSAL TARGET ADDRES MANAGER
12 USE OF THE UNIVERSAL TARGET ADDRES MANAGER
The Falcon XT Target Address Manager software is used to assign to Falcon XT an Individual Address via UECP
protocol, to reset one or all of the RDS service datasets, to set either the RDS mode if it is perfectly compliant with the
UECP standard, or to set the extended mode.
A plug activation key can also be entered in order to upgrade the machine or add new features.
This can be achieved using either the PC’s Serial port or the USB port. The following screen will appear when you open
the program:
Universal TargetAddress Manager is still
disconnected from the Falcon XT device. When you
press the
CONNECT button, a connection is
established between the PC and the Falcon XT. The
default values of the COM port are:
38,400bps 8-N-1
If a USB port is assigned, simply select the relevant
port assigned by the operating system from the list (in
this case VCOM USB Port). Port COM 5 has been
assigned.
Once the Falcon XT and
Universal Target Address Manager
are connected, the machine settings are displayed. To change
these values, position the cursor in the relevant fields and enter
the port data, then click
SEND DATA to send the changes to
the Falcon XT device.
To check whether the changes have been applied, click
RELOAD DATA , which refreshes the program and then reads
the port values again.
Information concerning the device connected is
available in the bottom section of the software
display, above the command keys. This includes
data such as "
Connected Target ", which shows
the device model to which it is connected (a
Falcon XT in the picture), and the
firmware
release installed (r.2.1)
The
firmware code is also included, i.e. the unique ID code of
the hardware and firmware installed on the device. This
number could be required for an upgrade of the device or in the
case of specific requirements or customisations.
