Cloning from one TriCoder to another
If your programs, tables and setup 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 and setup to a host
computer allows you to store a back-up copy (excluding Voice Messages)
available for download if anything happens to your TriCoder.
Transferring programs, tables and setup directly from one TriCoder to
another is called Cloning. Cloning also allows you to copy voice messages
from one TriCoder to another (transferring programs and setup to the host
computer does not allow you to do this).
There are several things you need to do before receiving programs or setup
from another TriCoder:
•
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.
•
Make sure all data is uploaded and deleted from the
receiving
TriCoder. The TriCoder will not allow you to receive data unless
the TriCoders data files are empty.
•
Plug in the 5-volt power adapter(s). You want to make sure you
don’t have a low-battery situation in the middle of a transfer.
•
For serial and keyboard cloning
, always
start the
receiving
TriCoder first. For USB cloning to a host computer, follow the
instructions on the TriCoder’s display.
•
When transmitting between two TriCoders, both TriCoders must
be configured to use the same
Computer Interface
. If configured
as serial interface, the serial parameters must be the same on both
TriCoders; baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits must match.
Two USB TriCoders cannot be cloned together.
