 SONIK - 1999

Appendix A: RDK Software User’s Guide

One set of RDK software includes 2 compressed files and one terminal
application program.

Running Requirements:

1)

 

 PC: 486 or above, at least 8M memory, one 1.44M floppy disk drive, one RS-232
serial port, one printer port.

2)

 

Cable: Serial port cable with Pin2, Pin3, Pin5 on the one side connected to Pin3,
Pin2, Pin5 on the other side.

3)

 

Operating System: Windows95/98, Windows NT.

I.

 

Select item ”Comms Setup” from ”Local Setup” menu to setup local serial port.

II.

 

Click ”Tx Freq” button to set frequency values for the transmitter. The selection
of different frequencies is determined by changing the input voltage level (0V or
5V) at Pin5,6,7,8 of DB37, for example, leaving Pin5,6,7,8 to be floating (5V)
means the selection of the first frequency value (channel 00).

III.

 

Click ”Tx Control” button to set parameters for the transmitter: RF power,
external frequency source, data polarity, PTT signal, paging protocol, etc.
Comments: low level (0V) of Pin1 of DB37 means the selection of default protocol
1; while high level (5V) of Pin1 of DB37 means the selection of default protocol 2.
The two default protocol settings should not be the same value at the same time so
that you can select different protocol (POCSAG or FLEX) just by changing the
input level of Pin1 of DB37.
