PRODUCT PROGRAMMING
Midian’s GPS-2 IC2 is programmed via Midian’s KL-4 programming interface and MPS software.
Go to our website midians.com and under downloads> software download the latest MPS software version. If
using the supplied CD-ROM insert it into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. In the browser that will pop-up, install the MPS
programming software. Be certain that the “Install KL-4 USB Driver” box is checked during the installation
process.
Open Windows’ Control Panel and go to Device Manager.
Open Ports (COM& LPT) to identify the port assignment issued by computer. Plug in the KL4 programmer to the
USB port and the screen will flash and show the device location.
From the product selection screen on the programming software, select the appropriate GPS-2 product from the
list and click OK. Set the parameters of the GPS-2 IC2 software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a
feature are required, move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right
click, a definition of the feature will be shown.
After the latest MPS has been installed default programming files for specific radio models can be found at:
C:\Apps\Midian\MPS\MPS_v5_xx\Additional Default Files\GPS-2\Icom
After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block
and click Save. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units.
KL-4 Programming:
Plug the board onto the KL-4’s IC2 connector P3. Push and hold the power button on the
KL-4 and click “Program Unit” in the programming software.
KL-4 Reading:
Plug the board onto the KL-4’s IC2 connector P3. Push and hold the power button on the KL-4
and click “Read Unit” in the programming software.
Note:
The GPS-2 IC2 has a system I.D. which is a 6 digit hexadecimal number defaulted to 4D6964, the CAD-
800 is also defaulted to this I.D. It is recommended to change this to a unique number for privacy reasons. When
using a unique I.D. the CAD-800 will also need to be programmed with the same system I.D.
Important Note:
When using a unique system I.D. do not attempt to ‘clone’ the GPS-2 board by reading one
and then programming another. When the GPS-2 board is read, the system I.D. will
not
be
read out, but will
be displayed as “4D6964” in the MPS. If another GPS-2 board is then cloned with this information, it will be
programed with the default system I.D. and be incompatible with the CAD-800. To ensure the GPS-2 board
stays compatible with the CAD-800 always program them from a saved
file.
