6. COMMANDER PROGRAMMING KIT
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This utility allows software to be updated on certain hardware items from the Commander
range. These are: -
• 500-02-1x Talkback Controller
• 500-01-10 TDM Controller
• 500-08-10 Changeover Controller
• 500-3x-3x Series control panels
• 500-40-0x Series expansion control panels
• 500-41-0x Desktop Control Panels
The program operates in conjunction with: -
• Archipel transputer link adaptor card fitted to a desktop PC
• Sundance SMT104 PCMCIA card fitted to a laptop PC
• Sundance SMT104 plus PCMCIA/ISA adaptor kit fitted to a desktop PC
• 500-16-03 Download Converter
Note that the Programming Kit will only operate when a transputer download adaptor has
been supplied. More recent systems use RS422 or RS232 download adaptors. These are
not suitable for re-programming.
An alternate connection cable must be used – the supplied cable is manufactured with violet
coloured wire. It is not interchangeable with the download lead, which is normally coloured
grey. An additional adaptor is required for programming the 500-08-10 Changeover
Controller. See 6.2.4.4 for further details.
If the matrix hardware is being reprogrammed, the Intercom system will not operate until th
e
procedure is complete. If the Talkback Controller is to be reprogrammed, a Version upgrade
(e.g. 4.15 to 4.16) will also erase the configuration flash RAM. This may not be the case
with incremental upgrades (e.g. 4.15c to 4.15d), but it would be wise to ensure that the latest
configurations are available on disk, ready for download.
6.2 TTPROG SOFTWARE
6.2.1 SET-UP ROUTINE
The installation package may be provided on a single floppy disk or as a zip file. For the
latter, expand the zip file to a suitable location (e.g. C:\Commprog). From this location, or
from the floppy disk, run the program setup.exe.
Follow the on-screen instructions and all necessary files will be installed and an icon added
to the computer Start menu.
