REFERENCE MANUAL

The CE27 is used to program the VXR-7000 Desktop Repeater. With

the CE27 Programming Software, you can quickly and easily program
the Vertex VXR-7000 repeater’s channels and configuration from your
personal computer. In the event of an accidental memory failure, re-
peater memory and configuration data may be re-loaded in a matter of
minutes.

CE27 EEPROM PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE REFERENCE MANUAL

Important Note!
Do not work directly with the CE27 programming diskette. Make a copy of it
and use the copy when programming the VXR-7000. Keep it and the original
distribution diskette in a safe place in case you need to make another copy of it
later.
 CE27 EEPROM PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE REFERENCE MANUAL

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM

The CE27 programming diskette contains the following files:
r CE27.EXE
r CE27.HLP
Before connecting the VXR-7000 for programming, turn off both the computer and the
VXR-7000. Now connect the VPL-1 Connection Cable to the computer’s serial port and
the VXR-7000 front panel MIC jack.
Then it will be safe to restart the computer; turning off the equipment during interconnec-
tion avoids the potential for damage to the electronics caused by voltage spikes.
Insert the distribution diskette into your 3½” drive (after booting DOS), and make a copy
of the diskette; use the distribution diskette for archive purposes, and use the disk copy for
programming.
Place the CE27 (copy) diskette into your 3½” drive (usually “Drive A”), and log onto this
drive by typing “A: [ENTER]”, then load the contents of the CE27 diskette into a directory
named CE27, using the COPY command (e.g. “COPY A:Þ.Þ C:\CE27”).
Now type “CE27 [ENTER]” to start the program. The introductory screen will appear, and
you may press any key to enter the main screen.
Choose the “Help” contents option ([F1] key) from the program’s Menu for assistance
with channel programming or setting of parameters.

VXR-7000 Programming Setup

Important Note!
Before creating the programming data via the CE27 programming software,
upload the current hardware environment data from the repeater by [F5]
(ReadRom) key, first time. See page 9 for details regarding the [F5] (ReadRom)
key.

THE CHANNEL PROGRAMMING SCREEN

The main Screen consists of four major sections: Common Data Items, Key Help, Chan-
nel Data, and Function Key Selections.

Common Data Items

At the upper left are found the Edit, Band, Serial No. and COM Port items, which are
“Common” Data items that you may need to refer to when making entries in the Channel
Data.
The Edit entry is the name of the current data file being edited, if any. If no file has been
read (via the [F3] key, “DiskLoad” function) or Saved (via the [F4] key, “DiskSave”
function), “noname.rpt” is displayed here.
The Band entry indicates the operating frequency band of your repeater. “VHF” or “UHF”
are automatically set and should not be altered unless you change repeaters.
The Serial No. entry indicates your repeater’s product identification number. The product
number is entered from the “HARDWARE ENVIRONMENT” window. See page 19 for details.
The COM Port entry indicates which Serial Port on your computer is to be connected to
the VPL-1 Control Cable.
Common Data cannot be changed from this screen.

THE CHANNEL PROGRAMMING SCREEN

Key Help Box
The Key Help box at the upper right indicates the keyboard keys that can be used to edit
data at any given moment. The contents of this box change according to the location of the
cursor in the Channel Data table, so you will need to watch this box while becoming famil-
iar with the channel editor. For example, when the program first starts, you will see “Rx
Freq.” (Receiving Frequency) field, which indicates that you can enter the receiving fre-
quency into the current channel from the [0] ~ [9] and [•] keys on the PC’s keyboard.
You can press the [F1] key for more detailed help on the functions of particular keys in the
current cursor field. Of course, you can always use the cursor keys to select another field
(unless you are in the middle of entering new field data).

Channel Data Table

The largest section of the screen is the Channel Data table. Press the [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT]
and [RIGHT] arrow keys on the PC’s keyboard to move the cursor around the table (you
may have to press the [NUM LOCK] key to switch the keypad from numeric to cursor move-
ment mode if your keyboard does not have separate cursor keys). Each line in the editing
table represents one channel, with the columns indicating the current setting of each pa-
rameter that can be set for that channel. Hyphens indicate that a parameter is not currently
being used. If all of the fields on a line are hyphens, the channel is currently blanked
(hidden from use).
Note that, to access the right-most columns (“Action Mode,” “Tx Freq.,” “Encoders
CTCSS” etc.), just move the cursor to the right from the right-most edge of the screen. The
table will scroll sideways to reveal the additional columns.
