3.1 Initial Power-Up & Configuration
When all of the cable connections described in
have been made, the transceiver is ready for
initial power-up. Operation begins as soon as power is applied, and there are
no manual adjustments or settings required.
To place the transceiver into operation:
1. Ensure that all cable connections are properly wired and secure. Verify
that no metallic objects are touching the underside of the evaluation
board which might cause a short-circuit.
2. Apply DC power. The
GP
indicator (CR6) on the transceiver board
should light continuously.
3. Using a connected PC terminal, configure the unit with the proper mode
(master or remote), network address and data parameters. See
below for programming details.
4. Observe the transceiver’s LED indicators for proper operation.
shows the functions and normal indications of the LEDs.
5. Verify that the transceiver is transmitting and receiving data (TXD, RXD)
in response to the master station and/or connected terminal device.
Configuration Settings
This section explains how to set the essential operating parameters of the
transceiver. For more information on connecting a PC terminal, refer to
.
6. The three essential settings for the Transceiver are as follows:
Mode—
Master, Remote, or Extension
Network Address—
a unique number from 1 to 65000
Data Interface Parameters—
bps, data bits, parity, stop bits
a.
Set the Mode using the
MODE M
(Master),
MODE R
(Remote), or
MODE X
(Extension) command. (Note that there can be only
one
Master radio in a system.)
If
any
MODE X
radios are used in the network, SAF must be turned
on at the Master station. The
MODE X
radio must be programmed
with an Extended Address (
XADDR
). Units that need to hear the
MODE X
radio must be programmed with an appropriate
XPRI
and/or
XMAP
value. (See
“SAF Operation with Extension Radios”
for more information.)
b.
Set a unique Network Address (1–65000) using
ADDR
command.
Each radio in the system
must
have the same network address.
Tip:
Use the last four digits of the Master’s serial number to help avoid
conflicts with other users.
