Use the Aura Config Tool to make these settings. Be sure to '''SAVE''' the settings and "Write All to Aura" after adjustments.<br />

=== Jeti Transmitter Files ===

==== Setup Tab ====
Jeti Systems require more configuration than some other brands due to the several facts including that it does not have a supported 'always on' and dedicated serial data port for UDI, and because it shares an identical UDI/SRXL header byte (identifier code) with JR DMSS Mode B. Jeti is very flexible and powerful, but follows the European tradition of requiring the user to configure many things 'from scratch' (Examples: Flap System, Serial Output for specific Receiver).
+
*Go to the Setup tab and confirm the Transmitter and Receiver Setup as above.
 +
----
  
We '''strongly recommend''' starting fresh with our transmitter file that provides a pre-configured setup of the channel data in the order, amount, and direction, etc Aura Expects. These are the general purpose transmitter files for typical models (If the UDI settings do not come in automatically, you can set them per the references in the PDF file just above) Load the appropriate file into your transmitter and select the model:

  Under Device Explorer      REX10 with ‘Check Mark’
    Select REX10
      Select Alternative Pin Config
        Select OutPin E1 and set to EX Bus
     Note the Male to Male Cable will go from PORT A or B (as set above) in Aura -to- E1 port in the Jeti REX10


R3RSW example:  (Displays as R3-EX)
With system powered and receiver bound
