instructions on how to write a script file can be found in the section below describing
*.RTC
. While in the
Emulator, pressing the ‘Alt’ key will bring up a window with 7 choices: File, Settings, Window, Reset,
Enable, Help and About. The
File
option allows the user to load a script file or execute a mode setup script
to ports 1 or 2. The
Settings
option allows the user to change baud rate and other settings. The
Window
option allows the user to view the trace buffer or a list of the script commands. The
Reset
command issues a
Reset command to all ports configured in
PORTS.CFG
. The
Enable
command sends a RF_Enable to all
ports configured in
PORTS.CFG
.
Note: The factory default for the Client Radio and Server Radio is API Serial Interface Mode 03.
Therefore, both radios must receive an RF_enable before scripts can be run.
Note: Receive commands expecting more than 16 bytes will fail in 'F10' single-step mode.
The Transmit/Receive Emulator can also be used to execute the setup scripts provided with the
program. For a full list of the scripts, see the readme.txt file in the directory labeled ‘Scripts’ on the disk.
To execute a script, press ‘alt-F’ and then ‘Enter’ to bring up a selection window. You can enter the name
of the setup script to be run, or hit ‘Enter’ to see a list of all the available script files. It is important to note
that when you hit ‘Enter’ it will show all the script files that are in the same directory as the executable
oem.exe. Once you have a script file loaded, then you will need to depress the write protect tab on the
serial adapter board while you single step (‘F10’) through the commands in the script. Once you have
executed all the commands in the set-up script you must press the reset button on the serial adapter board
before any of the changes will be implemented.

Single Line Command Interface
While in the Transmit/Receive Emulator press the ‘F5’ key to enter into the One Line Command
Interface. The one line Command Interface allows the user to command the radios into various operation
modes. The command set has already been entered. To invoke a command, scroll to the appropriate
command, using the up/down arrows on the keyboard, until the appropriate command is highlighted. Press
the 'F10' key to send the command to the radio. Press the 'F9' key to continuously retransmit the same
command until the 'Esc' key is pressed. Press the 'F8' key to toggle between ports 1 and 2 (com1 and
com2). You will see the active port and address displayed at the top of the screen
Upon successfully receiving and executing the command, the radio will send back a acknowledge
displayed in the "Receive Data" window. At the end of each command sequence line, a highlighted
checksum is displayed. When entering a new command, it is not necessary to enter a checksum. The
program automatically calculates and enters the checksum. On exit, changes to the command interface can
either be saved or ignored. Press the 'Esc' key to exit.
5.2.1.3
EEPROM Viewer/Editor
Press the 'F2' key to enter the EEPROM viewer/editor screen. To edit a value on this screen,
simply move the cursor to highlight the appropriate value, type in the new value and press the 'Enter' key.
To undo an edit, either press the 'Esc' key to return to the Command Interface, or press any arrow key. To
update the radio with the new EEPROM values, press the 'F10' key. An EEPROM read can be performed
on this page by pressing the 'F9' key.
