Loading a Configuration
Zetron uses CPSW to preconfigure 4x18 consoles for customers. The resulting
configuration file is supplied by email or disk to customers.
Normally the first operation performed after starting CPSW is loading a configuration
from a console or a file on disk. Depending upon the source, different information is
obtained:
• Receiving a configuration from a console number #1 includes position
configuration for that position and system configuration. This system information is
inherited by all other positions, even if they already have system configuration.
• Receiving a configuration from a console numbered #2-8:
• Position information for the received position only.
• If system configuration wasn’t yet loaded, then system configuration is also
received.
• If system configuration was already loaded, then no system configuration is
included.
• Loading a configuration file includes configuration information for all positions.
System configuration is also included, and is inherited by all positions.

To receive the configuration from a console
• If you have a cable with one RJ connector (P/N 709-7266 or 709-7400), use it
to connect the serial port of your computer to the COMB jack (combined data)
on the console.
• If you have a cable with two RJ connectors (P/N 709-7084 or 709-7417), use it
to connect the serial port of your computer to the DATA IN and DATA OUT
jacks on the console (these jacks might also be named LOOP IN and LOOP
OUT). The cable ends are labeled for specific ports (IN vs OUT) and must be
connected correctly.
If there are existing cables already connected to any of these ports, you must
temporarily remove them while programming. Before removing these existing
cables, ensure they are labeled so they can be returned to the proper ports.
Tip
It is a good idea to receive the configuration information from all
console positions and then save this configuration to a file. That file
acts as a backup, ensuring you can return to using the current
working configuration. Receiving the configuration information
from the consoles also ensures you are editing the current
configuration.
Note The USB-to-serial port adapter provided by Zetron (P/N 802-0516)
is tested and the recommended adapter for this application. Many
third party USB-to-serial port adapters are inconsistent with their
serial port implementation and do not reliably communicate with
Zetron equipment.
