When moving an internal radio board, making a server into a client, or a client into a server,
make sure that the jumper is in the correct location for the type of radio.
Figure 24: Radio Jumper Location
Signal Strength Mode
Signal strength mode is shown on all client displays. Signal strength is determined by the
number of LEDs that are lit, the more LEDs the stronger the signal. Refer to
for the location of the signal strength LEDs. The client radio will
display signal strength during normal operation. However, in normal
operation, the server board does not display signal strength.
Figure 25: Signal Strength
Mode on Server Radio
To display signal strength mode on the server radio LEDs, follow these
directions:
1.
Allow the radio to power up on the address as normal.
2.
Change the hex switch to
E
and allow it to remain there for 10
seconds.
3.
The hex switch on the server must be returned to the address location if the
power is recycled to the radio.
Note:
Signal strength mode can only be used with the one server - one client configuration.
This option is not available with the multiple-client mode.

Reconfiguration
At certain times, it may be necessary to reconfigure the internal radio
board to its original settings. (This will not change the board’s identity as
either a server or a client, which is determined by the location of the
jumper.)
After the radio has powered up on the address, the hex switch can then
be changed. To reconfigure the radio to the original settings, change the
hex switch to
F
and keep it there for at least 10 seconds. The radio will
flash all signal strength LEDs ON and OFF when all values have been
reset. This setting makes it possible to reconfigure a radio for use with a system that does not
have this same capability.
