Raider Installation and Operation Rev. 1.4.2

Quick Start Pre-Tune

Before starting the Quick Start Pre-Tune, you must have an IBM compatible computer with a
communication program (T-Comm, ProComm Plus or similar) installed. Set communications for
either 1200 or 2400 baud (it must match the Raider's setting), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
The computer must be connected to the Raider with a null modem cable. Begin the Quick Start Pre-
Tune Procedure with the computer off.

1. Install the Raider in the system rack.

2. Connect the Raider to its repeater. Apply power to the repeater.

3. The Raider should be disconnected from the T-NET Data Bus (RJ-45 connectors).

4. If this unit is a new installation, all dipswitches should be "off" (UP). Or, if this is not a

new installation, check all dipswitches to verify:

a. Repeater Number  -  Refer to 

Setting the Repeater Number Example

, below.

b. Data Inversion  -  Refer to the INVERT SWITCHES in the 

Jumper and Switch Chart

in Appendix F for the appropriate repeater.

5. Set the SYNC switch to "on" (DOWN). This enables sync, designating the unit as Network

Master (even though the network is temporarily disconnected). This condition is necessary for
the duration of the Alignment Procedure.

6. Remove the Raider's lid and set the necessary jumpers and switches for the connected repeater.

See Appendix F - Repeater Interfaces.

7. The Raider's home repeater number must be set to a value of 1 through 20. This setting must

be unique and not copied by another channel in the same system. Set the desired repeater
number with the five numbered switches, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. The number of each switch is the
binary value of the switch and may be set as follows: Flip each switch that is needed to produce
a total equal to the number of the desired home repeater number to the "on" (DOWN) position.

Note: 

Switches may be changed hot. You need not reset the power.

Setting the Repeater Number Example:

The desired repeater number is 13.

Switch  1  = value 1

Turn on (DOWN):

Switch  4  = value 4
Switch  8  = value 8

Repeater #13

8. Set the AREA switch to the desired area. See 

The AREA Bit

 on page 18.

9. Connect your computer to the Raider's COMM PORT with the null modem cable. Make sure

your communications software is set to the computer COMM Port that the null modem is
plugged into.

10. Turn your computer "on" and start your communications program. Set the baud rate for either

1200 or 2400 (it must match the Raider's baud setting), 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Press
ENTER repeatedly until the Trident Micro Systems greeting appears on your computer screen.
