4.1 INTRODUCTION
Local configuration of Remote transceivers is performed through a PC
terminal connected to the
COM1
port of the radio. This section explains
how to establish a console session with the Remote, and provides a
complete list of commands.
4.2 Programming Methods
4.2.1 Terminal Interface Mode
You can use a PC program such as HyperTerminal to establish a terminal
session with the Remote transceiver. The PC must be connected to the
radio using its
COM1
connector. Refer to PC Connection and Log-In
Procedures on Page 37 for detailed cabling information.
TIP:
You can access the HyperTerminal communications program on
most PCs by selecting
Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal
.
You must use the following terminal settings to communicate with the
Remote transceiver:
• 19,200 bps data rate
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• one stop bit (8N1)
• hardware flow control disabled
• ANSI or VT100 emulation
NOTE: The exact parameters given above must be used for terminal
communication. Improper settings are a common cause of
difficulty.
4.2.2 Remote Management via the AP
You can configure several Remote parameters over the air using the AP
Management System. For more information on Remote Management
using the AP, refer to
WIRELESS NETWORK MENU on Page 69.
4.3 Log-in Procedure
You must log into the radio in order to issue commands. The log-in
procedure for a Remote is somewhat different than for an AP. Follow the
procedure below:
