The following sections describe the various commands grouped according to their functionality. A
summary list of all commands are contained in Appendices A and B.
6.3 Configuration Management Commands
A “radio configuration” consists of a set of programmable parameters that define the radio operation
with regard to a variety of operating modes. The radio holds four configurations at all times,
identified as “current”, “main”, “alternate”, and “factory”.
The “main” and “alternate” configurations are both stored in non-volatile memory. They can be
loaded into the “current” configuration with the “load” command. On power up the radio loads the
“main” configuration from non-volatile memory into the current configuration.
The “current” configuration is the set of parameters currently being used and can be modified by the
operator through several commands. This configuration is volatile. If the current configuration has
been modified it should be saved using the “save” command. Otherwise the modifications will be
lost if power is removed.
The “factory” configuration can not be modified by the operator and is used to return the radio to the
factory default condition. It is useful as a starting point to create a customized configuration.
The access to change the radio configuration can be password protected. This password is set by the
user with the “change-password” command. Once a password is set, issue the “lock” command to
prevent any unauthorized changes to the configuration. Once locked, the configuration can only be
modified by issuing the “unlock” command with the correct password.
When the configuration is unlocked, the radio prompt ends with the characters ‘#>’ to remind the user
that the configuration is unlocked. In locked mode the prompt does not include the ‘#’ character.
Once a password is set, the radio will automatically lock the configuration after 10 minutes without
any commands being issued.
The configuration management commands are listed below:
change-password
enable-configuration=”ASCII string”
This command allows the user to set or change a password used to “lock” and “unlock” access
to the commands that change the radio configuration. The
VIP 110-24 is shipped with no
password which allows access to all commands. Once a password is set and the configuration
is locked, the password is needed to unlock the access to those commands. After changing the
password you should also issue the “save-configuration” command to save the new password in
non-volatile memory.
Examples:
> change-password enable-configuration=bh7g8
WARNING
The VIP 110-24 is shipped with no password. If the “change-password” command is issued make
sure you do not forget the password. Once locked, without a password, the radio must be returned to
the factory to be unlocked.
