Handshaking:
Select the handshaking mode (None or Hardware) from the
dropdown list. The handshaking mode on the radio must match the
handshaking mode on the connected serial device. The radio uses RTS/CTS
for hardware handshaking.
OK:
Click the OK button to save your settings to a configuration file on your
local computer. These settings do not affect the radio until you click the
Configure Radio button to transfer the configuration to the radio.
Configure Radio:
Click the Configure Radio button to send the configuration
settings to the radio. When you click this button, ControlScape opens a
connection between the serial port on the computer and the serial port on the
radio, and then copies the configuration from the computer to the radio's
memory.
Cancel:
Click the Cancel button to close the dialog box and discard your
changes.
Help:
Click the Help button to read the online help for ControlScape.
Advanced:
Click the Advanced button to view and change additional settings
for the radio. These settings control advanced features that are normally not
required for a typical radio network.
Advanced Settings
Radio Address:
The software assigns a unique address to each radio in the
network after the radio is configured. (The user cannot change this
addressing scheme - the address field is grayed-out.)
Device Network:
Select the Device Network for this radio from the dropdown
list. Device Networks are defined on the Device Network Properties Dialog
Box (page 120).
Destination:
Choose the destination radio (for example, Master Radio, or
Radio 2) to which this radio should transfer data.
Keep data packet together:
Select (check) this check box to keep the data
packet together so that the information is complete. This is the default setting,
and is correct for most configurations.
Low latency mode:
Select (check) this checkbox only if latency is an issue.
Both the transmitting and receiving radios need to have it selected. The Low
Latency Mode will work the best with slower baud rates and large messages.
Transmit Power:
This setting controls the output power in dBm (mW) to use.
You should ordinarily choose the minimum value that will maintain an
adequate system fade margin.
Important:
Maximum output power for radios is controlled by regulatory agencies in the country in
which this radio will be operated. Do not choose a power level that exceeds the maximum allowed
for your country or region.
Retry Limit (ms):
The transmitting radio will re-send the data as many times
as set if there is an error in transmission. In normal transmission, the
receiving radio "acknowledges" that the data has been received with no
detected errors. If the transmitting radio does not get an acknowledgement, it
will re-transmit until the retry limit has been met.
Broadcast Repeats:
Sets the number of times the radio will attempt to send
the data.
