7.1.4 Saterm 3 and the configuration of the Message Routing
SaTerm 3
is a PC based program that allows the user to design their required network simply
and quickly using a graphical interface to literally draw the network plan on the screen.
·
Firstly, a picture of the network is created to show all the radio modems and
the intended route that the data is to take.
·
Secondly, the required settings are defined in the drawing.
·
Finally, the setup of each actual radio modem can be uploaded by connecting
the actual radio modems one by one to the COM port, switching them to the
programming mode, and clicking the transmit button of
Saterm 3
.
Please check the user manual of
Saterm 3
for more details.
The figure below shows a typical snapshot taken from a
Saterm 3
screen.
7.1.5 Manual configuration of the Message Routing
The radio modems can be configured manually via the programming menu. However, this is
recommended only if the structure of the network is very simple, or if it is desirable to define
such special functions that are not possible to draw using the graphical interface of
SaTerm 3
.
Examples of such cases are for example non tree-structured networks, or the use of same
repeaters in several overlapping networks. The operation of the
Message Routing
must be clearly
understood before configuring the radio modems manually.
