Setup State 29 Clone Mode
The
Clone Mode
setup state is used to copy the non-volatile memory of a properly configured unit to a generic unit, thereby
cloning one (1) unit to another.
NOTE:
The software version numbers must be the same.
This setup state is the gateway to a more complex mode, so there are no setup options at first.
To
setup clone mode
, do the following:
1.
Setup the slave to receive data and the master to transmit data. Make sure the two (2) units are properly connected.
2.
The data port on the back of the C-2000 is a 3-pin port with TX, RX and GND.
3.
Using a 3-wire serial cable constructed as shown in Figure 8, connect the two (2) units together.
4.
Keep the cable length reasonably short.
5.
Each unit is shipped with the connector plugged into the back.
To
enter clone mode,
do the following
:
1.
Press the
Enter
(#) key.
The display shows CL (Clone Mode). The C-2000 is waiting to be told whether it is the master (TX) or the
slave (RX).
To
operate in clone mode operation,
do the following
:
1.
Press
DTMF B
to place the slave unit in receive mode.
There is no indication that the unit is in receive mode. The slave will wait indefinitely for the master to begin sending
data. The slave unit is ready to receive, the user begins transmitting with the master.
2.
Press
DTMF A
on the master will start the transmission.
The slave unit will receive the last packet, after approximately five (5) seconds.
3.
Calculate the
checksum
.
Display CC (Clone Complete) or EE (Error) if checksum fails. This concludes the cloning process.
To
exit clone mode
,
do the following:
1.
Press the
ESCAPE(*)
key.
Display shows CC (Clone Complete).
NOTE:
The C-2000 is back in normal setup mode and waiting for the next setup state.
