5.4 Transmit Power
The 2788 transmitter output power has three power settings:
1 = Low (0.5 W); 2 = Mid (1 W) ; 3 = Hi (2 W)
tp=x<CR>
Examples: tp=1<CR> ; tp=2<CR> ; tp=3<CR>
5.5 Operational Mode
The 2788 has two operational modes:
0 Remote
1 Master
Systems can be configured for single or dual frequency. No advantage in latency is gained by
using two channel frequencies.
Systems use 1 master (om=1) and up to 512 remotes (om=0). It requires that the master have
line of sight to all remote radios.
om=x<CR>
Examples: om=0<CR> ; om=1<CR>
5.6 Group Code
To prevent confusion of two or more separate 2788 systems, there are 16 unique group codes
to distinguish 2788 groups, ranging from 0 to 15. The default group code is 0.
gc=##<CR>
Examples: gc=0<CR> ; gc=1<CR>; gc=15<CR>
5.7 IP Address
Each 2788 radio must be assigned a unique IP address within its LAN subnet group. This permits
both local and remote access of radio configuration and status information. The default IP
address is 192.168.1.128. It must be changed prior to field deployment. The IP address assigned
to the radio is for diagnostic purposes to control and monitor the 2788 locally or remotely.
ip=###.###.###.###<CR>
Examples: ip=10.0.0.100<CR> ; ip=172.16.10.100; ip=192.168.1.10<CR>
If the IP address is changed to a new subnet, make certain that the computer is also changed to
the new subnet.5.8 Telnet Port
The 2788 Telnet port can be reassigned from the default of 23 to any port up to 65535. This
adds additional security to the system.
