User manual RANE RPD 1

[. . . ] Once connected to the remote RPD 1, enter $$$ to place the RPD 1 in terminal mode, which operates the RPD 1 like a computer bulletin board. Once you have been granted entry, set the route to the User Data Port (see Remote RS-232 Diagnostics on page Manual-9). WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts. Manual-1 RPD 1 PROGRAMMING & DIAGNOSTICS UNIT - FRONT PANEL AUDIO OUT SIG indicator: Lights when the Audio Out signal is above -25 dBu. AUDIO OUT OL indicator: Lights when the Audio Out signal is 2 dB before clipping. AUDIO IN SIG indicator: Lights when the Audio In signal is above -25 dBu. [. . . ] The Selected device name is displayed at the top within the title bar. Alternatively, after Polling, the same Device list appears in the Device Selection window. The connected unit's Device Address will be displayed within brackets [ ] to the left of the device name. Double-clicking on the device name is equivalent to Selecting the device and clicking OK. If the installation changes by adding more RW 232 units, choose Device > Select, and the Poll button to make the computer recognize currently connected units. Device Selection Menu Devices can also be given custom names, tailored to your installation. Simply choose Device > Name Device, and the following screen appears. Device and Port Names Window Manual-5 MODEM SETTINGS RPD 1 DEVICE EDIT Answer after Rings - determines the number of ring signals that will pass before the RPD 1 and modem will answer. Answer Voice - determines if the RPD 1 and the attached modem will answer in voice or data mode. Answer When - Sets the auto answer mode.

This procedure calls a remote RW 232 site and operates it as if you are there. No communication between the unit and the computer: Set the DEVICE ADDRESS to a unique small number, and try polling for units in RaneWare (under Poll in the Device menu). Check that the COM port selected in RaneWare (under System Setup in the Setup menu) is the one on your computer that is connected to the unit. Also check that the cable is a standard RS-232 cable (not a null modem type). The cable must be connected to the RW 232 INPUT jack on the RPD 1 rear. APPENDIX--DATA CONNECTIONS To control the units from a computer, use nine-pin RS-232 cables 50 feet or shorter. Daisy-chain up to 16 units at a time by connecting the COM port on the computer to the INPUT connector on the first unit, and the OUTPUT of each unit to the next unit's INPUT. Since RS-232 can pass through RW 232, additional RS-232 devices may be attached at the end of the RW 232 chain.
