CONTROL SOFTWARE

1.0 INSTALLATION

The control software can be installed on any PC or Laptop running Windows 95/98/NT. An available

comm port and approximately 5 Mbytes of hard drive space will be required. Insert disk 1 into the drive

and run the “Setup.exe” program located on the floppy disk. This program can be started from either

the Start | Run menu on the Windows Taskbar or by double clicking on it from Windows Explorer.

Follow the instructions until the setup program is complete. During installation, you may receive the

following error messages.

Press “Ignore” to continue. (This is a problem with the setup program and some versions of WIN95. It does

not affect SELAMP.)

Note: When installing a newer version of SELAMP to an existing directory, the setup program will

overwrite all files with old file dates and/or old file versions. The version number can be found by

selecting Help | About from the menu.

2.0 OPERATION

The amplifier should be turned on and the programming cable (and adapter if necessary) should be

connected between the comm port of the PC and the front panel connector of the paging repeater. Start

the program by double clicking the icon on the desktop or by clicking on the program name from the Start,

Programs pull down menu. The main window will open similar to Figure B-1.

A green bar displaying “connected to amplifer” will be displayed on the bottom of the main window. If a red bar indicating “timeout on response from amplifier!” is displayed then most likely the comm port has to be configured.
