Dip Switch Emulation
The ALLY PLUS does not have dip switches. The MODE selector button
on the ALLY PLUS is used to enter Extended Modes that serve as logical
equivalents of placing dip switch B7, or dip switches B7 and B8, in the ON
(down) position and pressing the Reset button on the ULTRA.
Extended Mode D3 on the ALLY PLUS is used as the logical equivalent of
ULTRA Host Configuration Mode. This is required for any off-line coax
host configuration, PFS editing or translate table downloading to take place.
First, the ALLY PLUS MODE selector button must be pressed until the
LED reads “D.” After 2 seconds, the LED will display a “0.” The user must
then press the MODE selector button until the LED reads “3.” This will put
the ALLY PLUS into Extended Mode D3, although the LED will display a
“0.” After the configuration changes are made, normal operation will
resume after the user resets the unit by pressing the MODE selector button
until the LED reads “3.”
For off-line alternate host configuration, PFS editing or translate table
downloading to take place, the ALLY PLUS must be placed in Extended
Mode D2: First, the ALLY PLUS MODE selector button must be pressed
until the LED reads “D.” After 2 seconds, the LED will display a “0.” The
user must then press the MODE selector button until the LED reads “2.”
This will put the ALLY PLUS into Extended Mode D2, although the LED
will display a “0.” After the configuration changes are made, normal
operation will resume after the user resets the unit by pressing the MODE
selector button until the LED reads “3.”
For on-line coax host configuration using Trigger 1 - Question Mark -
Trigger 1 (¢?¢), the unit can remain in normal operating mode (Mode 0).
However, configuration mode must be exited by using the termination
sequence Trigger 1 - Question Mark - Trigger 1 (¢?¢).
