connector to a pair of standard headphones while aligning the antenna. At a terminal session issue the
command:
>aaa a-antenna (aaa is an abbreviation for “antenna-alignment-aid”)
and then align the antenna until you hear the highest audio pitch. Once the antenna is aligned you
may type the command:
>aaa off
to turn off the audio signal and revert the auxiliary port connector to console mode.
3.2.6 Radio Configuration
The p ulsAR units are shipped pre-configured with a factory default configuration. If the unit
configuration has been altered, you can always reload it with the command:
> load factory
In order to deploy an RF network between two or more radios you need choose one radio to be the
“hub” and configure it with the command:
> node type=hub
All other radios may be left configured with the factory configuration. As you turn them on with
antennas pointing at the hub they will automatically join the network. Use the
>show command to
see the status of the radio, or the >show radios command for a complete list of all the radios in the
network.
In most installations you may want to change several other parameters. The table below shows the
most common ones and the associated commands to change them. Refer to section 4 for a complete
description of each command.
