unit and need to start from a known configuration. If you were to issue the load factory command
you might lose contact with the remote unit if, for example, it changes the antenna of the remote
radio.
The access to change the radio configuration can be password protected. This password is set by the
user with the change-password command. Once a password is set, issue the lock command to
prevent any unauthorized changes to the configuration. Once locked, the configuration can only be
modified by issuing the unlock command with the correct password.
When the configuration is unlocked, the radio prompt ends with the characters ‘#>’ to remind the user
that the configuration is unlocked. In locked mode the prompt does not include the ‘#’ character.
Once a password is set, the radio will automatically lock the configuration after 10 minutes without
any commands being issued.
The configuration management commands are listed below:
change-password
enable-configuration=”ASCII string”
This command allows the user to set or change a password used to “lock” and “unlock” access
to the commands that change the radio configuration. The PulsAR radio is shipped with no
password which allows access to all commands. Once a password is set and the configuration
is locked, the password is needed to unlock the access to those commands. After changing the
password you should also issue the “save-configuration” command to save the new password in
non-volatile memory.
Examples:
>change-password enable-configuration=bh7g8
WARNING
The pulsAR radios are shipped with no password. If the “change-password” command is issued make
sure you do not forget the password. Once locked, without a password, you need to contact the
factory to have the radio unlocked.
