Programmer
Introduction
This manual covers the installation and operation of the E 45e
TVIEW+ Management Suite which incorporates 3 utilities:
•
Programmer for configuration of the radio RF parameters,
system parameters and data ports
•
Diagnostics* for real-time monitoring and logging of radio
performance parameters
•
Firmware Update for loading new firmware releases into the
radio data modem
All utilities can be run on any IBM compatible computer running
Windows 2000® and above. This section describes use of the
programmer and firmware Update utilities in detail. Users should
refer to the separate WinDiags User Manual for information about
this utility.
The programmer is used to set configuration parameters within
the ER45e data radio modem and EB45e base station. The utility
permits configuration of modems connected directly to the PC as
well as over the air to a remote unit. Configuration parameters
can be saved to a disk file for later retrieval, or used for clone
programming of other modems.
All configuration parameters are held in non-volatile memory
(NVRAM) on the Data Radio Modem. Configuration is fully
programmable via the Systems Port using the programming
adaptor and cable supplied. Disassembly of the unit is not required
for any reason other than for servicing.
The diagnostics utility permits monitoring and logging of radio
performance parameters for the E 45e Ethernet radio Range, E
Series* and M Series* data radio modems and base stations.
It supports homogeneous systems of radios as well as mixed
systems of E 45e, E450 and M450 series radios.
The firmware update utility permits field upgrade of the firmware
in an ER45e Ethernet radio modem, EB45e base station and
EH45e hot standby unit connected directly to the PC. An E-Series
Programming Cable is required to be connected to the units
system port to load firmware into the unit.
* Requires the optional DIAGS Network Management and Remote
Diagnostic Facility to be installed - per radio.
