Joe, Have you got a manual? If not, it's available on the CATAUTO website.
You need to do a Dipswitch 7 reset to reset the password. Per the manual: "Switch 7 This switch is used to initialize the CAT-1000B. Set this switch to ON. Cycle the power OFF and back ON. During power-up, the memory will be flushed and reloaded with default values. The voice will say: "RESET DATA LOAD COMPLETED." Set switch #7 to the OFF position." Don't forget, if you're programming by the Serial Port, you have to set Dipswitch 8 ON before programming and OFF again when complete. This switch is used to program a new unlock number. Set switch 8 to ON. The voice will say: "ENTER CONTROL." After the seven-digit unlock number is entered, set switch 8 to OFF. This switch is also used to activate the CAT-1000B computer interface. This permits programming of the CAT-1000B through the RS-232 serial port. Set dipswitch 8 to ON and apply power to the CAT-1000B. After the power up message is complete, the CAT- 1000B will automatically switch to the computer terminal programming mode. This RS- 232 port is configured" Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater- > buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe > Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:02 PM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Programming a CAT1000 > > I found my DOS disk program, but can't find my notes on how to use the > program.
