16.3 Building a Multi RF Deck SystemBy connecting 1 or 2 Control Heads to multiple RF Decks, a Multi RF Deck/ Multi Control Head system can be built.Refer to “STRUCTURING A MULTI RF DECK/ MULTI CONTROL HEAD” for instructions on how to build a Multi RF Deck/Multi Control Head system.16.4 Configuring the Initial ConfigurationThis section describes the initial configuration for Multi RF Deck/ Multi Control Head. The initial configuration is configuredin the following order:1. Update the firmware.2. Activate a Radio Feature License (KWD-5004MR).3. Configure FPU data and write the FPU data to each RF Deck.4. Configure the DIP switch.Updating the FirmwareTo activate Multi RF Deck/ Multi Control Head, the firmware of firmware version 1.62.00 or later needs to be written. Thefirmware versions of all RF Decks and Control Heads need to be the same.In the initial configuration, the firmware is written to each RF Deck. Because KRK-14H and KCH-20R to be connected toKCH-19 are equipped with microcomputers, also write the firmware to KRK-14H and KCH-20R. Write the firmware with RFDecks and Control Heads connected. In this way, the firmware for RF Decks and the firmware for Control Heads can bewritten simultaneously.Also, when writing the firmware, note that the configuration of the DIP switch needs to be considered. The DIP switch isequipped on KRK-14H, KRK-15B, and KCH-20R. When writing the firmware in Single RF Deck/Single Control Head, theSW1 to SW4 DIP switches need to be all turned on. SW1 to SW4 are all turned on prior to factory shipment.
