CHAPTER 1

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is designed to present you with all the necessary
information required to connect a KPC-300/400 radio to the com-
puter and program the radio with a unique personality.

It is organized to support you in programming any KPC-300/400
radio and will cover:

•

the steps necessary to install the program,

•

the procedures to actually program the radio, and,

•

offer explanations to error messages.

Each chapter covers specific subject matter:

Chapter 1 - provides information you will need to know prior to
running the software. It describes keyboard layout, commo nly used
terms, and screen/window functionality.

Chapter 2 - contains a list of the contents of this package and
instructions for installing the software.

Chapter 3 - is a tutorial that will lead you through the basic
operation of the KPC-300/400 PC Programmer. If you are not
familiar with programming procedures it is recommended that you
take the time to complete the tutorial.

Chapter 4 - will instruct you i n the creation of a KPC-300/400 radio
personality. The purpose of each screen/window is discussed in
detail and, operational functions keys are defined.

Chapter 5 - provides you with instructions on file management
options such as changing directories, changing a file extension, and
deleting files.

1-1

Chapter 6 - is devoted to problem solving. It identifies some of the
error messages that you might encounter and provides solutions
and alternatives for them.

The Appendices follow Chapter 6 and contain the following refer-
ence materials:

A.

Glossary - Definitions of frequently us ed words.

B.

Function Keys - A listing of what function keys you will run
across and a definition of what function the key will per-
form.

C.

Acceptable Values - The range of values the PC Program-
mer will accept for a specific field.

D.

Primary & Inverted Digital Codes - A table indicating
usable Digital Channel Guard codes.

E.

Channel Guard Tone Frequencies - A table indicating
standard EIA Channel Guard tone frequencies.

F.

Work Sheets - Prepared forms to assist you in organizing
data prior to entering it in the program.

Screen diagrams are used throughout this manual to help clarify
section discussions. Each item being discussed is denoted by a
number for easy identification.

Please pay particular attention to NOTES as they contain pertinent
information that you should be aware of.

IMPORTANT TERMS

Default Value

- The KPC-300/400 radio programming software
provides predetermined (default) values in a majority of the data
entry fields within the program. Exceptions to this rule are fields
requiring variable names, dates, and serial numbers. The default
values assume that the radio will be used without o ptional features.
Before changing these default values, we recommend that you be
familiar with the operational implications of adding a particular
feature or option to the radio being programmed.

1-2

Error Messages

- Each time data is entered in the program a
validity check is made to ensure that reasonable values were en-
tered. In the event that the data does not fall within the acceptable
range of values, an error message will be display ed in the center of
the screen indicating such.

Field

- Refers to the area of the screen/window which allows data
entry. When moving the cursor across the screen, this area is
readily identifiable by a reverse video bar.

Help

- Throughout the KPC-300/400 radio programming soft-
ware, "Help" denotes or refers to on-line assistance. This can be
accessed by pressing the

F9 Help

key from any field or the

Shift

F9 Help

key from any window.

Personality

- Used generically to refer to information that is stored
in the radio that makes one radio perform differently from all other
radios. That information can be created, deleted, or modified and
stored on a disk for later use or reference.

Prompt Line

- A line of text l ocated i n the botto m of the wi ndow.
As the cursor is moved from field to field, this text will change
providing instructions for entering data in the field.

HOW TO USE WORK SHEETS

Work sheets can be found in Appendix F. They are pr e-printed
forms to assist you in organizing personality information prior to
the actual programming of the radio. You are encouraged to make
copies of these work sheets and fill them in before beginning
programming. Doing so can prevent costly and time consuming
mistakes. The work sheets can then be used for future reference.

Empty blocks in the work sheets are provided for you to fill in the
desired values. Blocks with information already typed i n represent
toggle fields in the program where the appropriate response
should be circled.

1-3

HOW SCREENS WORK

Each screen is divided into three areas: (1) screen title, (2) screen
windows, and (3) active function keys. The title tell s you where you
are in the program hierarchy. Windows provide for input of data
to the screen. Active function keys provide access to commands (or
actions) available for a particular screen. The function key com-
mands are labeled along the bottom of the screen. Only the
function keys with labels are enabled.

A window is a section of a screen that displays previously stored
information, enables programming alternatives, or accepts data
currently being entered. There may be more than one window
within a particular screen. Each window is outlined within the
screen presentation.

There are two types of windows: active and passive. The active
window is available for data entry or revision and can be identified
by its highlighted borders. The passive window is displayed but is
unavailable for program execution. If windows have overlapping
borders, the active window is presented in the foreground.

Like the screen, windows are divided into three distinct sections.
They are: (1) window title, (2) work area, and (3) prompt line. The
window title describes the function currently being performed.
The work area is the space provided fo r your input to the window.
The prompt line is printed information in the l ower portion of the
window defining in further detail the actio n to be taken in the work
area.

•

Channel Data Screen

Current Personalities Screen

- The Current Personalities Screen
lists the file names of all stored radio personaliti es presently main-
tained in this directory. From this screen you can create a new
personality (file) or make changes to existing personalities. You
then have the option of initiating one of the actions indicated by
the function keys at the bottom of the screen.

Channel Data Screen

- Data defining the radio personality is
entered into the Channel Data Screen which can be accessed from
the Current Personalities Screen by pressing function keys

F2

The following sections give an o verview of which keys are included
in these categories and what their uses are. However, in some
screens, such as the Current Personalities Screen, only the use of
cursor keys is allowed because selection operation is all that is
needed.

Function Keys

The purpose of a particular function key is dependent upon the
window that is currently highlighted at any given point in the
program. In other words, a function key may be labeled differently
from one window to the next. Be sure that you fully understand the
purpose for any function key prior to pressing it.

The command, or action, associated with a particular function key
is labeled in the lower portion of the window. There are two types
of function keys: active and in-active.

Active function keys are labeled. By pressing a
particular function, the software executes the ac-
tion delegated to that particular key.

Inactive function keys are not labeled and do not
have operational capabilities during the execution
of a given window.

The function keys are alphanumerically labeled F1 - F10. These
keys perform specific functions, depending upon which window
they appear in. The following Function Key Table represents their
functionality in the KPC-300/400 Prog ramming Software.

2-1

DISKETTE HANDLING

While working with your disk ettes, consider the following handling
procedur es:

•

Always store yo ur diskettes in their envelope.

•

Insert diskettes into the drive carefully.

•

Use only felt tipped pens to write on diskette labels.

•

Store your diskettes at a comfortable room temperature.

•

Do not touch the recording surface of the diskette.

•

Do not bend the diskettes.

•

Do not allow any form of liquid to come in contact with the
diskette surface.

•

Keep disk ettes away fr om magnetic force fiel ds as found in
magnets and electronic equipment.

If you follow these simple guidelines you will receive long service
from your diskettes.

MAKING BACKUPS

The KPC-300/400 radio programming softwar e i s pr ov ided to yo u
on a 3-1/2 inch diskette. This diskette is sensitive and fragile and
should be handled with care and stored in a secure area.

Upon receipt of your diskette, copy the original PC Programming
Software diskette to another diskette or a fixed disk and store the
original in a safe place. This ensures the availability of an accurate
program should a copy fail during program application.

It is important to use the "DISKCOPY" command when
making a backup and

not the "COPY" or "XCOPY" com-
mands. Each diskette contains a volume label that is re-
quired for the installation process. "COPY" and "XCOPY"
do not copy volume labels, so please refrain from using
these commands.

NOTE

2-2

SYSTEM HOOK-UP

Connect all peripheral equipment to your computer prior to con-
figuring the PC Pro gramming Software items. Remember to r efer
to the operating manuals of each device for correct installation
procedures.

If your system is already established, check to see that you have all
the equipment necessary to execute the program. Isolate all cables
connecting computer to devices to prevent tangling, interference,
and damage.

Step One:

Refer to Figure 2-1, Pr og ramming System Hook-up, and then lo ok
at your computer to locate a serial port. This port will usually be
located at the rear of the computer. However, since this is depend-
ent upon the design of your computer refer to the computer
operators manual for directions.

The IBM PC XT/AT systems support up to two serial ports. Ther e
are two physical standards for the serial port configurations of
personal computers. The first standard is a 25 pin RS-23 2 o utput
that has a DB-25 male connector at the computer. The other
standard is a DB-9 male connector at the computer ( used on the
IBM-AT and many portable lap-top computers). The PC Interface
Module, like most data com munications equipment, uses a stand-
ard RS-232, DB -25, female connector. If your computer uses a
DB-9 connector, you will need to purchase a DB-9/DB-25 adapter
cable from your local computer dealer.

Please note at this point that the KPC-300/400 radio PC pr o gram-
ming software only communicates with the radi o through the cable
connected to the serial port designated as COM1 or COM2. Your
computer references will assist you in determining which serial port
is which. Once located, examine the keyed plug on the RS-232
cable for the correct keyed end and insert it carefully into the
appropriate serial port on the computer.

2-3

2-4

Figure 2-2: KPC-300/4 00 Programming Cable (RPM 113 2472/1)

2-5

Step Two:

The other end of the RS-232 cable should now be connected into
the computer receptacle on the PC Interface Module. Check
carefully to ensur e that plugs are fully seated in the receptacle and,
if retaining s crews ar e included, that they ar e carefully tightened to
firmly hold the plug in place. Should the plug not seat correctly to
its receptacle, r emove the plug and e xamine the pins to determine
if the proper plug was inserted and to determine if pins are al igned
and undamaged. Damaged pins and broken connections wil l cause
the PC programming softwar e to fai l.

Step Three:

P ositi on the KPC-300/400 radio in a convenient place i n your work
area. Connect the PC Programming Cable as depicted in Figure
2-1. The Pr ogramming Cable is inserted into the r eceptacle on the
back of the unit. Again you should ensure that the plug is fully
seated in its receptacle. The cover must be removed before con-
necting the cable.

LOADING THE SOFTWARE

The programming softwar e can be instal led on a fix ed drive or run
from a floppy diskette in a floppy drive configuration.

Software Installat ion

This section is for hard drive users only. If floppy drives are being
used, skip this section and go on to the Prog ram Entry section.

3-1/2" Diskette:

When using the 3-1/2 inch diskette, the software installation is
initiated by inserting the Pro gram Disk in drive A and typing:

INST ALL <enter>

The Installation Screen will appear next. Enter the target drive to
indicate which disk drive the program will be loaded to. (It must
be a hard drive).

2-6

Press

F1 Begin

.

This will cause the program to copy the files from the distribution
diskette to yo ur har d drive.

Program Entry

To help you manage your programming software, a directory
structure, or filing system, has been created for your programs.
This filing system is created whenever any PC programming soft-
ware is installed on your hard disk and also applies to floppy disk
users.

When the KPC-300/400 radio PC programming software is in-
stalled, a directory structure consisting of four subdirectories is
created. This structure is r epresented graphically as follows:

\ (ROOT) GE

CARD RADIO

HELP

The first directory created is the GE directory; the main directory
under which all programming software will be stored. This direc-
tory will contain a batch file that is used to invoke the pr ogramming
software. W ithin this directory , the CARD dir ectory is created. This
directory stores all of the executable programs required for the
programming of the radio.

The PC programming softwar e is distributed with a number of help
files that reside in the Help dir ectory and are used by the program
whenever

F9 Help

or

Shift F9 Help

is pressed. These files ar e only
required to support the on-line help facility and may be removed
if on-line help is not required. The final directory created is the
Radio directory. The purpose of this directory is to hold the
personalities created during program operation.

Directories can be used very effectively in or ganizing your program-
ming personalities. It is highly r ecommended that you famil iarize
yourself with dir ectories. Refer to your DOS Users Manual for more
information.

2-7

Hard Disk:

Once you have completed the installation procedure, the following
steps may be taken to access the KPC-300/400 radio PC program-
ming software:

Type: C:

<enter>

to ensure that the current drive is C:
(The drive indicated here should be
the letter of the drive specified as the
target drive during program installa-
tion.)

Type:

cd GE <enter>

to change directories to the GE direc-
tory

Type:

CARD <enter>

to bring up the programming softwar e
application

The KPC-300/400 Radio P rogramming Softwar e is now loaded into
memory and a copyright screen appears briefly before the Current
Personalities Scr een is displayed.

Dual Floppy:

When the programming software is used in a dual floppy config-
ured computer , sev eral additional steps are r equired before lo ading
the software.

3-1/2" Diskette:

1. I nsert the DOS disk in Drive A and turn on or "boot up" the
computer.

2. Place a blank formatted disk in Drive B.

The formatted disk in Drive B will become your data disk
on which you will store the personal ity information and data
for the radio.

NOTE

2-8

3. Replace the DOS disk in Drive A with the programming soft-
ware disk labeled Program Disk.

4. At the prompt, type:

A: <enter>

cd\GE\CARD <enter>

CARD <enter>

This will run the batch file which executes the main program
and switches the current directory to Drive B to store and edit
the personality files.

CHAPTER 4

RUNNING THE PROGRAM

INITIALIZATION

Depending on its manufacturer, your personal computer will have
certain unique operating characteristics which make it different
from other computers of similar capability . For example, file names
and file ex tensi ons must confo rm to the r equirements of your disk
operating system. W e, therefor e, recommend that you become fully
conversant with your computers disk operating system and its
operating manual prior to beginning this program.

When you turn on your personal computer, it begins an initializa-
tion routine which every system must go through to prepare for
operation. During initialization, the MS-DOS program is loaded
into memory . MS-DOS is the interpreter between keyboar d actions
and the capabilities of the PC programming software.

Once the PC is initialized and the DOS prompt is displayed, type:

cd\GE <enter>

CARD <enter>

After a brief introductory screen the Current Personalities Screen
will appear.

(3) Default Extension - designated default ex tension
(4) Current Drive - desi gnated drive
(5) Current Directory - designated directory name
(6) Personality Area - personalities in current directory
(7) Prompt Line - current field instruction line

The Current Personalities Scr een, shown in Figur e 4-1, is the main
screen for the KPC-300/400 Programming Software. From this
screen, you will be able to create perso nalities , program personali-
ties into a radio, and read personaliti es out of a radio. To access a
personality, m ove the cursor (reverse video bar) across the screen
using the arrow k eys. Ther e is room available for up to 70 person-
alities on the screen. If you completed the tutorial and did not
delete the files you created, one or two personality file names will
already be display ed. Once the screen is full, additio nal personali-
ties can be accessed by pressing the Pg Dn key.
