Changing A
Field ValueSome screens contain fields that require, or take values from, other screens and
features and thus are dependent upon each other. For example, the System ID
number specified in the CHANGE/VIEW:TRUNKING:PERS screen are assigned
in the CHANGE/VIEW:TRUNKING:SYSTEM screen.
Screen fields come in three basic types:
Information fieldsNon-editable fields which cannot be altered or changed.
Scrollable fieldsContain a range of values, or several options, from which you can select the
desired value/option. To edit or change a choice, press the arrow key(s).
Direct-entry fieldsThe desired value must be typed in using the keyboard. To edit or change a
choice, type in an acceptable value.
Changing a field’s value is typically done either by scrolling through a list of
options (in scrollable fields) or by typing in a correct value (in direct-entry
fields). Scrolling is accomplished using the arrow keys.

Press F3 at the SERVICE SOFTWARE COMPUTER CONFIGURATION MENU to get to the CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT screen. 2. At the CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT screen, type C:\MRSS\ASTROP\ARCHIVEP (i.e., the archive file path name). Note: This example assumes that you are storing your archive files on the hard disk. Note: The Archive Path in this example is for ASTRO Portables. For ASTRO Mobiles, type C:\MRSS\ASTRO\ARCHIVEM. 3. Type F8 to save the field options displayed on the screen. Setting a Default Communications PortUse the following steps to specify the serial port to interface with the radio and RIB. The default port is COM 1. 1. Press F3 at the SERVICE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MENU to bring up the CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT screen. 2. Go to the serial port RIB field by pressing Ta b as many times as necessary. 3. Select a port using the arrow keys to scroll through the available field options. Options are COM 1, COM 2. On some computers, COM 3, or COM 4 may also be available.

Main MenuThe MAIN MENU is the top level of the program from which all RSS menus
and screens can be accessed.
All selections are made via the function keys, labeled F1 through F10 on the
keyboard. All other menus contain an Esc key, and by pressing it the operator
may at any time return to the MAIN MENU. The user must initially load data
from a radio (or disk) using the GET/SAVE function before being allowed to
CHANGE/VIEW any codeplug data.
Note: For any problems not covered by the Radio Service Software User’s
Manual or the Radio Service Manual, contact your local Motorola field
technical representative.
Function Key Descriptions
F1 - HELPProvides additional information on this screen. Generic help is available
within any help screen in the form of the MORE HELP function.
F2 - SERVICEA multi-level menu that permits access to all radio service alignments through
the service screens. A radio must be connected to the computer via the RIB before
you can access the service screens. All service screens access the codeplug directly.
Therefore, it is NOT necessary to read codeplug data before using the service
screens.
F3 - GET/SAVEUsed to read codeplug data from a radio and/or retrieve-archived codeplug
data from a diskette or hard disk for editing purposes using the CHANGE/
VIEW function. The GET/SAVE function is also used to program edited
codeplug data back into the radio or to create an archive file on a diskette or
hard disk.
F4 - CHANGE/VIEWA multi-level menu that is used to change, view, or modify codeplug features
and option configurations. All radio codeplug parameters are classified as
either RADIO WIDE, CONVENTIONAL, TRUNKED, or PERSONALITY-related.
The CHANGE/VIEW menu permits access to each of these categories.

An archive file can be accessed without a radio being connected. F5 - PRINT MENUPrints selected codeplug data. F6 - FILE MAINTAllow access to archives so that you can retrieve codeplug data or find/create paths to enter or store archive files. F8 - FLASHport UPGRADEAllows you to upgrade your radio’s internal software and/or add new options to your radio. F9 - SETUP MENUUsed to configure the Radio Service Software according to specific user requirements. Default disk drives, communication ports, and even screen colors may be customized to the customer’s specific needs. F10 - EXIT TO DOSUsed to quit the program and return to DOS. Make sure that all desired codeplug changes have been programmed back to the radio and that an archive copy has been made. If this is not done, all changes will be lost as returning to DOS erases this data from the computer’s memory. How to Read the Codeplug1. Start up the RSS. If you are not already at the MAIN MENU, press any key at the BANNER screen to access the MAIN MENU. 2. From the MAIN MENU press F3; the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU will be displayed. You can read the codeplug from the radio or from the archive disk. After reading, the codeplug will be checked for valid serial number, model number, checksums, etc. Reading Codeplug Data from the RadioConnect the radio to the computer according to instructions provided on page 10.Turn the radio on and press F2. A series of status messages will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. If a communication error occurs, a pop- up window will be displayed. Note: Refer to Appendix A for an explanation of computer-to-radio communication error codes. If no errors occur, the center of the screen will display the progress of the codeplug read activity. After the codeplug is read, the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU will be displayed. Reading Disk Codeplug FilesPress F3 at the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU. The ARCHIVE FILE screen will be displayed. An archive path and the list of files in that path will be displayed. By default, the path will be the corresponding archive path specified on the CONFIGURE PATHS AND PORT screen. If you want to retrieve a file from another path, press F2, type in the path name, and then press Enter. The names of the files in the new path will be displayed. To retrieve a selected file, press Ta b or Enter to move to the desired file and then press F8. The selected file will be retrieved, validated, and placed in computer memory. The progress of the read process will be displayed on the screen. To delete a file, select it and press F5.
