USAlert WatchDog Programmer

The USAlert WatchDog Pager Programmer consists of a programming fixture, a serial cable, a USB cable, a USB-to-Serial Adapter, driver software for the USB-to-Serial Adapter, and WatchDog programming software. There are currently two versions of the programming software, one for older WatchDog Pager firmware versions and one for newer versions of the WatchDog Pager firmware. A WatchDog Pager with version 5.16 firmware and later uses the latest WatchDog Pager Programmer software. The USAlert WatchDog LT Pager also uses the same programming hardware and the latest Programmer software.

Manufacturer: USAlert

The WatchDog Programmer can be setup with either the serial cable or a combination of serial cable, USB cable, and USB-to-Serial Adapter.  Setup the Programmer using the serial cable by connecting it to an available COM port on the computer and also to the serial connection on the programming fixture.  To setup using the USB cable, connect it to an available USB port on the computer and also into the USB-to-Serial Adapter.  Then connect the serial cable to the other side of the USB-to-Serial Adapter and also to the serial connection on the programming fixture.  Driver software for the USB-to-Serial Adapter must be installed. Check the USAlert WatchDog Programming Manual for in-depth programming setup information as well as detailed descriptions of WatchDog Pager programming options.
