Configuring the PKLR2400
Preliminary

7. Configuring the PKLR2400 Radio
The various configurable parameters are stored in the EEPROM in the Radio. These parameters
are read by the AeroComm firmware on power-up reset. These parameters can be configured
by
AeroComm
as AeroComm defaults or customer defaults. These parameters can also be configured
by the
customer
using a PC and an AeroComm provided adapter. If the customer is writing to the EEPROM, they
must use the Write EEPROM Command and enable E2WP, pin 37, or switch 2 on the serial adapter board
included with the developer kit. The different configurable parameters and their respective EEPROM
locations are highlighted in this chapter.
7.1 System EEPROM Parameters
The system EEPROM parameters provide general system configuration information for the radio.
These parameters can be monitored and changed independent of the serial interface protocol.
These
parameters can only be changed when the API Serial Interface Mode 03, described in Section 7.1, is
active.

7.1.1
Product Identifier String/Version Information
EEPROM Address: 0H
Size: 40 bytes
Useful for OEM to read AeroComm version information. This information should not be
overwritten by the OEM. Original information is restored when a
RESET EEPROM
command is issued.
7.1.2
IEEE assigned MAC Address
EEPROM Address: 28H
Size: 6 bytes
This is the unique, 6-byte, IEEE 802.3 ethernet address assigned by AeroComm to each radio.
This unique address should not be changed.
