7.4 Performing Network-Wide Remote Diagnostics
Diagnostics data from a remote radio can be obtained by connecting a laptop
or personal computer running MDS InSite diagnostics software (V6.6 or later)
to any radio in the network.
NOTE:
The diagnostics feature may not be available in all radios. The ability to query
and configure a radio via Network-wide Diagnostics is based on the feature op-
tions purchased in the radio being polled.
If a PC is connected to any radio in the network, intrusive polling (polling
which briefly interrupts payload data transmission) can be performed. To
perform diagnostics without interrupting payload data transmission, connect
the PC to a radio defined as the “root” radio. A radio is defined as a root radio
using the
DTYPE ROOT
command locally, at the radio.
A complete explanation of remote diagnostics can be found in MDS’
Network-Wide Diagnostics System Handbook (MDS P/N 05-3467A01).
1. Program one radio in the network as the root radio by entering the
DTYPE ROOT
command at the radio.
2. At the root radio, use the
DLINK ON
and
DLINK [baud rate]
commands to
configure the diagnostic link protocol on the RJ-11 port.
3. Program all other radios in the network as nodes by entering the
DTYPE
NODE
command at each radio.
4. Use the
DLINK ON
and
DLINK [baud rate]
commands to configure the
diagnostic link protocol on the RJ-11 port of each node radio.
5. Connect a PC on which MDS InSite software is installed to the root radio,
or to one of the nodes, at the radio’s diagnostics port.
To connect a PC to the radio’s
DIAG
port, an RJ-11 to DB-9 adapter
(MDS P/N 03-3246A01) is required. If desired, an adapter cable may be
constructed from scratch, using the information shown in
6. Launch the MDS InSite application at the PC. (Refer to the InSite user’s
manual for details.)
