Press the ESCAPE key. After a few moments, the message "Uploading data" should
appear in the lower-left comer of the CStrunk screen, and "On-line" should appear in
the lower-right side of the screen. If this does not happen, the cable from the computer
to the Trunking Master Controller may be incorrectly wired. See
Appendix
A
for
information about cable wiring.
Note
If
you are using a mouse, you must exit CStrunk and restart the program to
initialize the mouse. Use the
m o w keys on the keyboard to select the

Baud Rate
Three baud rates
available:
baud,
baud and
baud.
baud is the software
default for
This
is
also the hardware default for the
Master Control Unit.
If
operation at
baud or
baud is desired,
the DIP switches must be reset on the bottom IOU
board in the
Refer to the
Drawings Manual for location and settings of the
DIP
switches.
Operation at
baud allows the use
of
medium-length cable (up to about 50
ft,
or 15 m), and
results in
communication between the computer and the Trunking Master Controller.
Operation at 9600 baud allows the use of
a longer cable, but results in slower communication
between the computer and the Trunking Master Controller. The parameters for operation at
9600 baud are: no parity, 1 stop bit,
8
data bits, 1 start bit,
9600 baud.
baud results in fastest operation, but requires a short cable from the computer to the
Trunking Master Controller (less than 10
ft,
or 3 m).
Also,
the serial port on some computers
may not support operation at this speed.
