Enter Command-

All numeric values are entered in HEXadecimal (0-9, A through F) or Decimal numbers (0-9), as select-

ed on the menu. Each number consist of one or more ASCII characters followed by a
( on some keyboards). If more characters have been entered before the than are al-
lowed, then the characters already entered will scroll to the left to make room for the new entries. Once a
command has been invoked, characters can be erased one-by-one by using the key
( on some keyboards). An entire entry can be erased by hitting the ape key. A com-
mand can be canceled altogether by hitting the key ( on some keyboards) or
ape key after all of the characters have been erased or before any have been entered.

Once you have configured a BR-MultiShow, you should ÔlockÕ the configuration by moving the ÔWrite

ProtectÕ jumper to the ÔWrite ProtectÕ position from the ÔEnabledÕ position. This should protect your configu-
ration from anything shy of a lightning hit. As shown above, the second line of the menu will change to
show that the Eprom has been protected and warn you that you can no longer make any changes.
Configuration changes can be re-enabled at any time by moving the jumper back to the ÔEnabledÕ posi-
tion.

If you want to keep a hard copy printout of the current configuration of the BR-MultiShow: Press the

ape key to redraw the screen while saving the print in the modem program running on your com-
puter. This file can then be printed out at any time.

a) Serial Port Address: This command is used to set the address that this card will be respond to

on the RS-422 Serial port. Only one card at a time can use each address. This means that if
you are configuring several cards, you may need to plug each one in one at a time and set
each of them to unique addresses. After they are addressed, you can plug them all in at the
same time and talk to them freely.

b) Numbering System: This toggle is used to select between HEXadecimal or Decimal numbering

systems for display and entries. When percentage is selected, all entries are still made in
Decimal numbers.

c) DMX Rx Checksum: This toggle is used to enable and disable the error checking in data re-
