Configuration Program
The configuration program is used to configure the TS4000 for operation.
Configuring the TS4000 consists of independently configuring both the modem
operation and the radio frequency channels. The configuration program consists
of controls and menus. The controls set the configuration and test options. The
menus (line items at the top of the screen) execute program commands.
In addition to configuring the TS4000, the configuration program provides access
to AirTest (wireless modem test software), AirCalc (wireless range estimation),
AirScan (frequency scanning), TS4000 firmware upgrade program (see Testing,
Upgrading Firmware) and remote diagnostics (see Remote Diagnostics).
The configuration program has on-line help that contains information on how to
use the program and also detailed information on specific controls and menus.
Help is accessed by selecting a command from the help menu, pressing the
question button or pressing the F1 key.

Serial Cable
TS4000 to PC
Connection
To transfer configurations between the TS4000 and a PC, their serial ports must
be connected together. The serial cable used should be a standard straight
through (i.e. pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc) serial cable. This is the same type
of cable used to connect a PC to a standard phone modem (See Serial Port).
Before configurations can be retrieved from and programmed into the TS4000
the configuration program must connect to the
TS4000. To connect, select the Connect to
Modem command from the Modem menu or
press the Connect to Modem button.
Connecting to the TS4000 puts it into
program mode which is indicated by the Rx
and Tx lights remaining on continuously.
Software Connection
When connected to the TS4000 the
configuration program may disable (lighter
shade) some of the controls. These disabled
controls are options that are not available with that particular TS4000's version of
firmware. These controls are re-enabled when the connection is broken (using
the Disconnect command from the Modem menu or the Disconnect button).
