8.5 FDL Network Parameters
If you are using the scanner only for FDL, you must also set several network
parameters from the serial port before putting the module online. At
minimum, set the local station number and the baud rate. If you are sending
FDL messages, make sure that the station is active. The station does not have
to be an active station to send replies to SAP updates. The scanner sets
appropriate default values for the remaining network parameters.
If the station is to be active, and if there are repeaters or FMS devices on the
network, set network options so that the scanner can set appropriate values
for the network parameters. Most of them are not needed if the station is
passive.
You may also want to change the high station address to optimize
performance. The default high station address is 126.
Local Station
To set the local station number, issue the LocStn command with the station
number (0-126) as a parameter.
Example
LocStn 22
Active/Passive
To set the station to be active, issue the command Active 1.
Baud Rate
To set the baud rate, issue the Baud command with the baud rate as a parame-
ter. Allowed values for the baud rate parameter are 9k6, 19k2, 93k75, 187k5,
500k, 750k, 1m5, 3m, 6m, and 12m.
Example
Baud 1m5
sets the baud rate to 1.5 Mbaud.
Other Network Options
To tell the module that there are one or more repeaters on the network, issue
the command Repeater 1
from the serial port.
To tell the module that there are FMS devices on the network, issue the
command FmsDevices 1 from the serial port.
