MDS™ Master Station
MDS 05-6399A01, Rev. F
•
Repeater Network Change
– Change remote parameters that may need to be configured
when running in a network which uses a MDS™ Master Station as a repeater.
•
Generic Dlink Message
– Broadcast a custom Dlink command to all units on the system.
Arguments include the Dlink register to write to (in hex, no leading ‘0x’), and the DLink
value to write (in hex, no leading ‘0x’). The hex argument values must be full octects (e.g.
‘0F’ instead of ‘F’.
With the exception of the reboot command, these actions will cause permanent loss in
connectivity to the Master Station until the corresponding configuration changes are
made to the Master Station itself.
Remote SD Firmware
Please see section “Remote SD Reprogramming” below.
RF Key Test
Using the RF Key Test action, the active radio can be manually keyed (transmitter enabled) or
de-keyed (transmitter disabled). This may be useful when diagnosing signal-strength on a remote
receiver.
Spectrum Analyzer
A unique feature of the transceiver is the ability to view the RF spectrum above and below the
operating frequency using its built-in Spectrum Graph. Often, this can assist in diagnosing the
cause of interference, or to view other signals near your operating frequency. To use the
Spectrum Graph, you must first specify a center frequency and a scan width. The center
frequency is the frequency that you wish the spectrum display to be centered on. The span
frequency defines the width of the overall spectrum to be examined.
Once the correct values have been entered, switch it on by sliding the on/off switch. The graph
will automatically refresh itself every 5 seconds. To stop scanning, turn the on/off switch off.
