ADDR [1–65000]
Network Address
This command sets or displays the radio’s network address. The network
address can range from 1 to 65000.
A network address must be programmed at the time of installation and must
be common across each radio in a given network. Radios are typically
shipped with the network address unprogrammed, causing the address to
display as
NONE
. If the address is not set (or is set to a wrong value) it leaves
the system in an invalid state, preventing operation and generating an alarm.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the last four digits of the Master radio’s serial number be
used for the network address. This helps avoid conflicts with other users.
AMASK [0000 0000–FFFF FFFF]
Alarm Mask
This command sets the alarm bits that cause the alarm output signal to be trig-
gered. The
PWR
LED will still flash for all alarms, but the alarm output signal
will only be activated for those alarms that have the corresponding mask bit
set. The hex value for the mask aligns directly with the hex value for the
ALARM
command. The default is
FFFF FFFF
. Through proper use of the
AMASK
command, it is possible to tailor the alarm response of the radio.
Contact the factory for more information on configuring the alarm mask.
AT [ON, OFF]
Hayes-Compatible AT Command Support
AT-style modem commands, also know as “Hayes-Compatible Commands”,
can be processed through the payload port. By setting
AT ON
at the Master
(
MODE M)
, individual Remotes can be accessed by using
ATDT
[Unit Address]. In this mode, RTUs designed only for dial-up access can be
accessed through the Master station. For more details, see See
“Using AT
Commands” on Page 55
and
“OT [ON, OFF]” on Page 37
.
ASENSE [HI/LO]
Alarm Output Sense
This command is used to set the sense of the alarm output at Pin 6 of the
DATA
connector. The default is
HI
which means an alarm is present when an RS-232
high is on Pin 6.
BAUD [xxxxx abc]
Data Interface Port Baud Rate
This command sets or displays the communication attributes for the normal
payload communications through the
DATA
port. The command has no effect
on the RJ-11
DIAG(NOSTICS)
port.
