4.11 CONFIGURATION TRANSFER
This facility allows the transfer between recorders, or between the recorder and a host computer (running PC
configuration software) using a jack socket located towards the right of the bulkhead behind the cassette. Only the
Baud rate is configurable at the recorder, so if you are transferring to and from a host computer, the other settings
you need are: Eight data bits, One stop bit and No parity.
The configuration transfer circuit is designed for use with TTL (0 to +5V) signals. A converter may be required with
some host computers to change the signals to the normal RS232 port with 12 Volt signals.
The Transfer function will overwrite the destination recorder's configuration, ensure that the transfer is carried out in
the correct direction (i.e. from save to restore)

1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200) must be the same for both sending and receiving devices.
For jack plug wiring, see section 1.2.2
Wiring to computers requires a cable (available from the manufacturer) that has a 9 or 25 pin serial port connector as
well as the jack plug for the recorder. Details of this wiring are provided with the available PC configuration software.
