If set to Aux, the radio will use the AUX_TXD and AUX_RXD lines on
the auxiliary connector.
If set to Internal Options, the radio will use the IOP_TXD and IOP_RXD
lines on the internal options connector.
For more information on MAP27 data transmission, refer to Technical Note
TN-1075-AN, MAP27 Implementation Form (Appendix A7).
1.3 Before Operating
Before using CCDI, the following is useful to check.
■
The radio must be correctly programmed for use with the CCDI
protocol. See
“Programming” on page 14 for configuration information.
■
At power on, the radio will select its default channel. To change the
channel, select the channel using the normal radio interface or using the
CCDI Go_To_Channel command. Refer to
“GO_TO_CHANNEL”
on page 29 .
■
The radio will power on into the mode selected in the ‘Powerup State’
field in the Data form.
■
Power, Tx and Rx LED indicators are helpful for establishing proper
operation. The radio speaker can be used to listen to data coming in.
■
Data flow is controlled either by the customer’s embedded computer
system or by a PC running a data-sending application such as
Hyperterminal.
1.4 Limitations
Important
Some data applications require extended transmission
times. This may be for larger file transfers or for real-time
telemetry information. This may put undue stress on the
radio transmitter and care must be taken to control trans-
mission times using flow control. Refer to
“Hardware Flow
Control” on page 15 .
