Setup

Install your RX320 receiver following the instructions in Ten-Tec's manual and connect it to a free serial port in your computer. Start the rx320 control application (ignore any serial port error messages that may appear) and when the main window appears right click on the main tuning knob to bring up the application menu:

Select the configure option from the menu, then type the serial port name the receiver is connected to in the setup dialog (consult your Unix docs for the correct name):

Click OK. If you get any error messages at this point, then either you entered the wrong name or you do not have the correct permissions to access the serial port. If you have root access, you should be able to correct the permissions problem by setting the serial port modes accordingly, for example:

chmod 0666 /dev/ttyS1
Otherwise contact your system administrator.

Turn on the receiver. You should see a Power ON message flash for a second in the main display. If you don't, check the receiver power supply and serial port connections. You can tell that the receiver is getting power if you hear a "pop" in the speaker or headphones when you turn on the receiver.

Try now tuning to a known station, and check that the volume, mode and filters work properly. If you get an erratic behaviour, check that the serial port is not being accessed simultaneously by some other application.
