MDS 9810 Installation and Operation Guide

6.4 Detailed Command Descriptions

The essential commands for most applications are Network Address
(

ADDR

), Mode, (

MODE

) and Baud Rate (

BAUD

). However, proper use of

the additional commands allows you to tailor the transceiver for a spe-
cific use, or to conduct basic diagnostics on the radio. This section gives
more detailed information for many of the user commands listed in
Table 6.

Most of the commands below can be used in two ways. First, you can
type only the command name (for example,

ADDR

) to view the currently

programmed data. Second, you can set or change the existing data by
typing the command, followed by a space, and then the desired entry
(for example,

ADDR 1234

). In the list below, allowable programming

variables, if any, are shown in brackets [ ] following the command
name.
