Transmitting and Receiving Programs
and Setup
The TriCoder has the ability to transmit and receive programs and setup
information. Transmitting and receiving can occur between two TriCoders or
between a TriCoder and a host computer. Transferring the entire setup
configuration, voice messages and programs from one TriCoder to another is
called “cloning”. If you want to clone only voice messages, see
Chapter 13;
Voice Messages
for complete information.
If your programs are complex or large, transmitting them from TriCoder to
TriCoder is faster and easier than manually entering all of the information every
time. Transmitting programs to a host computer allows you to store a back-up
copy (excluding Voice Messages) available for download if anything happens to
your TriCoder.
You cannot clone from one TriCoder to another TriCoder using the USB
Computer Interface
. You can clone (everything except voice messages) from a
TriCoder to the
Windows TriCoder Utilities
and back. If you have a requirement
to clone from one TriCoder to another, you must change the
Computer Interface
from USB to either PC Keyboard Wedge (T64/LT64s) or Serial (T54/LT54),
perform the cloning using the cloning cables (T15 and F38), and then set the
Computer Int
erface back to the USB interface desired.
Receiving a program on the TriCoder or host
There are several things you need to do before receiving programs or setup
from another TriCoder or host computer:
•
Receiving and transmitting programs from one TriCoder to another
requires the correct cables. The
TriCoder Data Cloning Cable
(F38) is needed to clone or transmit/receive programs, tables and
setup information. The
TriCoder Voice Cloning Cable
(T15) is
required to "clone" or transmit and receive voice messages. Voice
messages can only be transmitted or received from TriCoder to
TriCoder. They cannot be transmitted via host computer. The
Data Cloning Cable
is attached to each TriCoders
Computer
port.
The connector on the
Voice Cloning Cable
that has two black
rings on the tip plugs into the auxiliary jack on the bottom of the
receiving
TriCoder. The tip with the single ring plugs into the
transmitting TriCoder.
•
Transmitting and receiving programs from a host computer
requires the cables normally used for TriCoder USB or serial
communication.
