Sending a Configuration to a Console
For installations with parallel consoles, all consoles should be configured identically. If
you are changing the configuration of one console, you should update all consoles.

To send configuration information to a console
1. Use the supplied programming cable to connect your PC with the console:
• If you have a cable with one RJ connector (P/N 709-7266 or 709-7400), use it
to connect the serial port of your computer to the COMB jack (combined data)
on the console.
• If you have a cable with two RJ connectors (P/N 709-7084 or 709-7417), use it
to connect the serial port of your computer to the DATA IN and DATA OUT
jacks on the console (these jacks might also be named LOOP IN and LOOP
OUT). The cable ends are labeled for specific ports (IN vs OUT) and must be
connected correctly.
If there are existing cables already connected to any of these ports, you must
temporarily remove them while programming. Before removing these existing
cables, ensure they are labeled so they can be returned to the proper ports.
2. There is an unlabeled switch on the bottom of the Model 4010 used to switch the
console between RUN and PROGRAM modes. Move the switch to the program
position, which is towards the gooseneck MIC and away from the DATA IN,
DATA OUT, and COMB jacks.
The console display shows “PROGRAM”.

4. If previous edits to the configuration file have not been saved, you will be asked if
you want to save them now. To proceed, click whichever action you prefer.
5. Click
OK
to begin sending the configuration settings.
The mouse cursor switches to an hourglass while CPSW is sending data.
6. The download is successfully completed if the console displays “** DONE **”. If
the console does not display “** DONE **”, then some troubleshooting is
required:
a. If the console display shows “PROGRAM” after CPSW is done sending, then
there was a communication break between the PC and console, such as a serial
cable not connected, a mismatched baud rate, or a wrong COM port configured
in CPSW.
b. If the console continues to display “DnLoading CPS” long after CPSW is done
sending, then the serial transfer was interrupted after it started. The cable may
Note
The USB-to-serial port adapter provided by Zetron (P/N 802-0516)
is tested and the recommended adapter for this application. Many
third party USB-to-serial port adapters are inconsistent with their
serial port implementation and do not reliably communicate with
Zetron equipment.
