TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING
Programming and set-up of the transceiver is performed through the
radio’s
DATA INTERFACE
connector with a terminal interface—either a
personal computer or a hand-held terminal (HHT). This section contains
a reference chart of commands (
) followed by detailed
descriptions for each entry.
4.1 Radio Programming Methods
➊
PC with Radio Configuration Software
PC-based Radio Configuration software is available for use with the
radio (MDS P/N 03-3649A01). This software is normally supplied on
3.5” disks, but can also be found on the MDS InSite disk (version 6.4 or
higher) under the title of “EL705.” On-line instructions are included
with the configuration software.
NOTE:
When using radio configuration software, click on the opening
screen or press a key to activate the program.
➋
PC in Terminal Mode
A PC may also be used without the Radio Configuration software by
operating it in a basic terminal mode (e.g., HyperTerminal session) and
entering the radio commands listed in
. The terminal
communication parameters must be set to 9600 bps, with 8 data
bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8N1).
➌
Handheld Terminal (HHT)
A Hand-Held Terminal kit (MDS P/N 02-1501A01) may be used to
enter the radio commands listed in
. The HHT communication
parameters must be set to 9600 bps, with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit (8N1).
4.2 PC Connection and Startup
Follow the steps below to prepare the radio for PC programming. For
information about connecting and setting up a hand-held terminal, refer
to the instructions provided with each HHT kit.:
1. Connect a PC to the radio’s
DATA INTERFACE
port as shown in
. Pin 23 of the interface cable must be grounded to activate
the control and programming mode. This can be done with a
Programming Adapter (MDS P/N 01-3683A01), or with a
scratch-built cable as shown in
.
2. Press
