REGISTERING BELTPACKS WITH THE MATRIX
The PC-to-Beltpack serial cable is used to register beltpacks with the
PC running the Eclipse Configuration Software (ECS). It can also be
used to upgrade the firmware of the beltpacks. The beltpacks are
registered from the ‘Beltpacks’ tab in ECS (‘Beltpacks’ link in the Setup
menu). Click on the ‘Beltpacks’ link to open the tab, click on the
‘Register’ button and follow the beltpack registration instructions
displayed.
The cable consists of a female 9-pin D type connector (PC connection)
and a 3.5 mm (1.8-inch) stereo jack plug (beltpack connection). Care
must be taken to select a jack plug that fits completely through the
plastic surround of the connector at the bottom of the beltpack.
The data connections between the D connector and the stereo jack
plug are as follows: pin 2 to tip, pin 3 to ring, and pin 5 to sleeve. Pins
1,4,6 and 8 on the PC connector are shorted together.
