Configuring the Falcon PLUS™ Transmitter: 

 
Via the TrangoLink interface panel for the VTX5900 
transmitter, the user can configure the following settings: 

 

MENU CONTROLS: 

File: 

Choosing this pull-down menu brings up three 

options: 

Sound: 

This toggles the PC sound on and 

off, so that the PC can beep (or not) if a 
change in any of the indicators is received. 

Select Port:

 This selects the serial port 

through which the PC is connected to the 
transmitter or receiver.  The cable required to 
connect may be purchased from your Trango 
Systems sales representative. 

Exit:

 Exits TrangoLink. 

 

Link Verification:

 This option brings up a dialog box by 

which the Link Verification Code can be set.  This is a 
32-bit code sent from the transmitter to the receiver to 
verify that the signal is being received from the proper 
location.  The link verification codes on the transmitter 
and receiver must match for reception of alarms or low 
battery signals.  If the codes do not match video will still 
be received, but the user will be notified that it is not 
coming from the proper location.
