2.4.7 Radio Parameter Cloning
Figure 2-16 Clone Programmable Parameters Screens
After the initial Integra-TR parameters are programmed, saved, and stored in local memory, other Integras in
the system can be quickly programmed using the cloning option under the Edit pull-down menu. Clone
Programmable Parameters will program the radio with all of the currently loaded parameters except the
Short ID and Comment. The cloning option is useful if there is a need to change the DTE Baud Rate for a
number of radios in a system.
2.4.8 Writing / Reading Integra-TR Parameters
After all radio parameters are setup, select the OK button to store the information into the PC’s
memory. To load parameters into the Integra-TR, initiate a Write Programmable Settings from the
Edit menu or select the Write icon from the Tool Bar
.
After the programmable parameters are
loaded into the Integra-TR, save the parameter information using the Save Data As option in the
File pull-down menu.The name and location of the file (*.dat extension) will appear on the status bar at the
bottom of the screen.
The Read Programmable Settings command will read parameters from the current Integra-TR and
store the information in local memory. The parameters can be viewed and/or edited with the
Setup Modem/Radio Parameters screens.
Note: Dataradio recommends a Read be done anytime an initial connection is made to the Integra-TR Setup
Port before accessing the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters screen. This will help avoid writing erroneous
parameters to the connected unit.
2.4.9 Offline Link Test
The Offline Link Test is used to test the link between two units: the local unit interfaced to the computer and
a remote unit. Blocks of data are transmitted to the remote unit and the remote unit decodes and returns
them. The transmitted and received blocks of data are compared and the ratio of the results are calculated.
NOTE: An Offline Link Test requires suspension of network operation.
An Offline Link Test returns the following statistics (see Figure 2-17):
Local ID
The Local ID is the Short ID of the unit interfaced to the computer.
Remote ID
The Remote ID combo box allows selection of the unit (by choosing it’s Remote ID) from which the Link
Test information is gathered. Remote IDs are set up in the Diagnostic IDs and Alarms Screen.
