2. Connect Programming Equipment:
•
Connect the radio programming equipment to J1/J2 on the Orion Radio Shelf as shown below.
•
Move the switch for the Orion radio to be programmed to the up or “PROGRAM” position.
3. Run Programming Software:
•
With the DOS command prompt C:\ or D:\ displayed on the PC monitor, type “CD \GE” and press the
Enter key (to go to the directory named GE where the programming files are located).
•
Enter “MRK /sc D192” to run the programming software for the RF Control Stations. You will know
that the programming file is running when you see the introductory copyright screen briefly, followed by
the Current Personality screen on the PC monitor. Note: The baud rate on the RDI data link between a
RF Control Station and a system serial port is 19,200 bps. Without the “/sc D192” option you can not
program this baud rate into the Orion radio.

4. Evoke Programming Mode:
•
Turn the Orion radio off for one second and then back on again, using the upper left knob on the control
head or by temporarily disconnecting the DC power cable on the back of the shelf. (Ignore any DSP
ERR message that may briefly be displayed when the radio is turned on.)
•
Make sure that PC PROG is displayed on the Orion radio. If not, check to make sure that the
programming equipment is connected as shown in the above figure, and that the switch on the front of the
radio shelf is in the up (programming) position. Then, start this step over.
