CE45 EEPROM P ROGRAMMING S OFTWARE
R EFERENCE M ANUAL
The CE45 Programming Software is used to program the V ertex Standard
VX-210A Hand-Held Transceivers. With the CE45 Programming Soft-
ware, you can quickly and easily program the V ertex Standard VX-210A’s channels and configuration from your personal computer. In the event of
an accidental memory failure, channel memory and configuration data may
be re-loaded in a matter of minutes.

Important Note!
Do not work directly with the CE45 programming diskette. Make a copy of it and use the copy when programming the VX-210A. Keep it and the original distribution diskette in a safe place in case you need to make another copy of it later.
VX-210A Programming Setup
I NSTALLING  THE  P ROGRAM
The CE45 programming diskette contains the following files:
r CE45.EXE
r CE45.HLP
Before connecting the VX-210A  for programming, turn off both the computer and the VX-210A . Now connect the CT-42 PC Programming Cable between the computer’s serial port and the VX-210A ’s MIC/SP  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 CE45 (copy) diskette into your 3½” drive (usually “Drive A”), create a directory in your “C” drive named “CE45,” then load the contents of the CE45 diskette into the CE45 directory, using the COPY  command (e.g. “COPY A:Û.Û C:\CE45”).Now type “CE45 [E NTER ]” 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 program-
ming or the setting of parameters.Important Note!
Before creating new programming data via the CE45 programming software,upload the current hardware environment data from the transceiver by (Up-load) command. See page 19 for details regarding the Upload command.通信工程考研

The main channel data screen is made up of four sections:
1.The top line, which contains the main function selections – Files, Common, Signal-
ing, Help, Radio, and Channel.
2.The bottom line, which contains [F] key functions for the main channel screen, and
short Help messages as well as data entry information for advanced functions.
3.The top half of the screen, which contains the hardware configuration, such as fre-
quency band, channel step size, the name of the current file, COM port, and the printer port selection.
4.The bottom half of the screen, which contains the actual channel data.
Navigation on the Main Screen
Use the [C URSOR] keys to move between the channel data items. Pressing the [S PACE] bar will toggle items with “flags” such as Power Saver, Scan, and TOT. The items that require values such as Receiving Frequency can be directly entered using the keyboard and the [E NTER] key.
Using the Mouse
Clicking the left mouse button on any channel data item will move the cursor to that item (the position of the cursor is what determines what Help will be displayed when pressing the [F1] key). Clicking the right mouse button on any item allows you to edit or toggle that item.
Example: Clicking the right mouse button on SUB AUDIO Type toggles among None (-------), C-xxxx (xxxx: tone frequency), and D-xxx (xxx: DCS code). If C-xxxx or D-xxx is selected, clicking the right mouse button allows you to enter the desired tone or code.
Using the Help Function ([F1] key)
Pressing the [F1] key anywhere in the program will invoke the on-line Help feature. The Help displayed will depend on where the cursor is when the [F1] key was pressed. If more Help is available, arrow keys will be displayed in the Help window margin and the [U P/ D OWN] arrow keys can be used to scroll though the text. Pressing the [E SC] key closes the Help window and returns you to normal program operation.

1.Type(Type Number): This number is used to identify the channel. Channel numbers
occur in sequence, and their order can not be changed.
Press the [S PACE] bar to toggle lock the channel lock between “Enable” and “Dis-able.” The channel lines displayed in blue are unlocked and enabled, channel lines displayed in gray are locked and disabled.
Important note: This number is not channel number for the CH knob of the radio.
The CH knob’s configuration is determined via “C HANNEL T YPE” parameter in the “C HANNEL” menu; see page 21.
2.W/N(Wide/Narrow): This function selects the channel spacing environment in which
the VX-210A operates. Use the [S PACE] bar or right mouse button to toggle the chan-nel spacing environment between “Wide (W)” and “Narrow (N).”
Wide (W) =25 kHz Channel Spacing, ±5 kHz Deviation.
Narrow (N) =12.5 kHz Channel Spacing, ±2.5 kHz Deviation.
3.FREQUENCY Receive: Enter the Receive frequency using the numeric keys. The
frequency must be within the operating range of the radio and must also be a multiple of the currently-programmed channel step.
4.FREQUENCY Transmit: When you enter a Receive frequency, the Transmit fre-
quency is automatically inserted based on the default split as displayed in the top half of the screen. To change the frequency, use the numeric keys; the frequency must be in the range of the radio and must be a multiple of the currently-programmed channel step, as above. To change the default split, see the “M ISCELLANEOUS” parameter in the “C OMMON” Menu.

5.SUB AUDIO Dec : Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to
select the decoder type between “None  (-------),” “C-xxxx
(xxxx : tone frequency),” or “D-xxx  (xxx : DCS code).” If “C-
xxxx ” or “D-xxx ” is selected, press the [E NTER ] key or right
mouse button to invoke a pop-up “menu of choices. Using the
[U P /D OWN ] arrow keys or the mouse, select the desired tone or
code. Press the [E NTER ] key or the left  mouse button to select the
desired setting.
6.SUB AUDIO Enc : Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to select the encoder type between “None  (-------),” “C-xxxx  (xxxx : tone frequency),” or “D-xxx  (xxx :DCS code).” If “C-xxxx ” or “D-xxx ” is selected, press the [E NTER ] key or right mouse button to invoke a pop-up menu of choices. Using the [U P /D OWN ] arrow keys or the mouse, select the desired tone or code. Press the [E NTER ] key or the left  mouse button to select the desired setting.
7.Power Save RX : Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to toggle this selection “on (Ö)” or “off (–).” If this parameter is set to “on (Ö),” the Receive Battery Saver will be activated according to the default “sleep” period (time interval setting). To change the default setting of the “sleep” period, see the “P OWER  S A VING ” parameter in the “C OMMON ” menu.
8.Power Save TX : Use the [S PACE ] bar to toggle this selection “on (Ö)” or “off (–).”If this parameter is set to “on (Ö),” the radio automatically adjusts its Transmit power level according to the signal strength of the last-incoming received signal. If it was relatively weak, the radio will transmit at high power. If it was relatively strong, the radio will reduce its Transmitter power accordingly.
9.
Pwr H/L : Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to toggle the default Transmit power level “H  (
High)” or “L  (Low).”10.Scan : Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to toggle this selection “on (Ö)” or
“off (–).”
11.VTS  (VX-Trunk System): Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to toggle this
selection “on (Ö)” or “off (–).” The optional VTP-50 Trunking Logic Board must be installed.
12.TOT  (Time-Out Timer): Use the [S PACE ] bar or right  mouse button to toggle this
selection “on (Ö)” or “off (–).” To set the duration of the TOT, see the “P OWER  S A V -ING ” parameter in the “C OMMON ” menu.
