Radio Module Configuration
Changing the configuration settings of a Hopper Plus while it operates in a system could
disrupt service. To prevent disruptions when the configuration is being changed, the
Hopper Plus stores configuration information in three different states:
To change the current configuration of the radio module
1.
Set the Config Test Minutes. See
Setting Config Test Minutes
, page 48.
2.
Make new configuration changes with the Radio Module Configuration menu. These
changes are stored in the
New
state, but the radio uses the Current state configuration
until it is rebooted with new configuration.
3.
Reboot the unit following the steps in
Rebooting and Saving RF Configurations
, page
53. The unit runs the new configuration, and the old configuration is retained in
FLASH.
4.
If the new configuration works as intended, then the changes can be saved to FLASH.
See
To save current configuration to FLASH
, page 54.
If the new configuration disrupts communications, then the configuration stored in
FLASH is restored after a timeout has elapsed. The unit can be re-configured and
tested until the unit works as intended.
New
The intended configuration changes. Temporary.
Current
The configuration actually running on the unit. Temporary.
Flash
The configuration that was stored last in FLASH memory.
Final configuration is saved to FLASH memory.
