PRODUCT PROGRAMMING
Midian’s TVS-2-VX and VPU-15-VX are programmed via Midian’s KL-4 programming interface and the MPS
software.
Go to our website midians.com and under downloads> software download the latest MPS software version. If
using the supplied CD-ROM insert it into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. In the browser that will pop-up, install the MPS
programming software. Be certain that the “Install KL-4 USB Driver” box is checked during the installation
process.
Open Windows’ Control Panel and go to Device Manager.
Open Ports (COM& LPT) to identify the port assignment issued by computer. Plug in the KL4 programmer to the
USB port and the screen will flash and show the device location.
Open the software and choose product from product tree then set appropriate comport selection in the MPS
software as needed.
After the latest MPS has been installed default programming files for specific radio models can be found at:
C:\Apps\Midian\MPS\MPS_vX_xx\Additional Default Files\ TVS2_VPU15\Vertex
Set the parameters of the scrambler software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a feature are required,
move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right click, a definition of the
feature will be shown.
After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block
and click “Save”. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units.
Programming:
Plug the board onto the KL-4 and connect the green clip lead to the Prog In* hole. Push and hold
the power button on the KL-4 and click “Program Unit” in the MPS software. The ACK LED on the KL-4 will flash
if programmed successfully.
Reading:
Plug the board onto the KL-4, connect the green clip lead to the Prog In* hole, and connect the yellow
clip lead to the Prog Out* hole. Push and hold the power button on the KL-4 and click “Read Unit” in the MPS
software.
NOTE:
When the scrambler is read, the security codes will be read out as zeroes. If another scrambler is then
cloned with this information, the scramblers will be incompatible because they have different security codes.
