X10DR Programming Parameter Guide

How to Install Programmer

System Requirements: Runs on PC or Mac running Windows 7/11.

Important Note: Requires a USB 2 Port. The programmer will not work with USB 3. If your PC only has USB3 ports, use a USB patch block as most are USB 2.

Included with the Programmer download file are instructions for setting up the programmer on your Windows 7/11 PC. Follow these instructions carefully.

How to Use Programmer

System Requirements: Runs on PC running Windows 7/10. Requires a USB 2 Port.

Putting Handset into Programming Mode:

Turn off the handset. Attach the programming cable between the device's Hirose port and the PC. Press and hold the red handset ON/OFF button while holding PTT. The handset's LED will light red.

Putting Gateway into Programming Mode:

Turn off the gateway. Hold down the gateway ON/OFF button while attaching the programming cable to the device's micro-USB port and the PC USB port. The Gateway's LED will light red.

Note: The gateway's RJ45 socket should not be connected to the host radio.

Important: Always READ the device before proceeding further.

It is recommended to SAVE the configuration file to your PC for re-loading if required.

A GREYED-out feature indicates that your device does not support that capability.

The Programmer automatically identifies the device type.
