TURNING ON THE DATA ADVANTAGE EQUIPMENT AND LOADING THE SOFTWARE
AND CONFIGURATION
To turn on the Data Advantage equipment and load the software and configuration perform the following steps:
1.
If the software has not been loaded previously, insert the Loader diskette into the floppy drive. If the
software has been previously loaded but the configuration hasn’t, insert your configuration working
diskette.
2.
Turn on the power of the VME computer using the power switch on the rear of the VME chassis. If the
power switch for the VME computer is already on, reset Data Advantage by pressing the RESET button
on the front of the CAP board.
3.
If Data Advantage is turned on (or reset) with a diskette inserted, it will prompt for a new diskette after it
loads the current one. Each time Data Advantage prompts for a diskette, insert an Application diskette or
Configuration Working diskette. When all disks have been loaded, press return with no diskette inserted.
PROGRAMMING
The Orion radios used in Data Advantage are enabled for Mobile Data in the factory. To verify that an Orion
radio is Mobile Data enabled, turn on the radio by rotating the On-Off Volume knob clockwise. If “DATA ON”
is displayed on the control head, the radio is Data enabled.
The parameters in the Orion radio personality need to be customized for the specific EDACS system where it is
to be used. Before starting the programming of the radio, ensure that the equipment required for programming is
available.
