[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL RPD 1 PROGRAMMING & DIAGNOSTICS UNIT GETTING STARTED Rane RW 232 products can be controlled from remote locations with the RPD 1 Programmable Diagnostics Unit. During transmission, the modem can send and receive data for remote system diagnostics. There are 2 operational modes for the RPD 1: · RW 232 remote diagnostics · RS-232 remote diagnostics or data transmission using the USER DATA port. RW 232 RaneWare Diagnostics RW 232 remote programming and diagnostics are performed to a remote RPD 1/RW 232 site using a 28. 8 kbs or better modem and a PC running RaneWare with Remote to RPD 1 selected on the System Setup page at the host. [. . . ] No interface boxes are required; just a cable and the computer. · RaneWare can be fully demonstrated and operated without any unit attached (called `offline'). · If any question arises about a particular control on any software screen, position the pointer over the control and press F1 on your keyboard for Help. DEVICE SELECTION The quickest way to get to the RW 232 Device Edit screen is to click the Device button on the far right side of the toolbar. When pressed, a list of the first fifteen connected devices appears. Click one of the devices--either an offline device or an actual device--and the Selected device's edit screen appears. 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. You can also get there via Device > Select. Choose the connected or Offline device from the list and click OK. 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.

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). If an adaptor is used, it must not be null modem. 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. [. . . ] For example, if the sum is $1234, the checksum is $CC. The parameter bytes are indexed using a 2-byte number (MSB first) starting with 0. The number of parameter bytes also uses a 2-byte number with the same format. When sending parameters, the number sent is determined by the data size. [. . . ]
