 Overall %

Shows the percentage of Host received packets versus Host transmitted packets

 # of Packets to Send

A programmable number to tell the Host how many data packets to send to the Remote. After the programmed

number of data packets are sent, the transmission will automatically stop

 Bytes of Data/Packet

A programmable number to tell the Host the number of data bytes to send in each packet. The Remote will

respond with the same number of data bytes received

 COM Port/ Network Radio

The ratio of COM Port baud rate to network (over-the-air) baud rate of the modem. This is used if the network

baud rate is slower than the COM Port baud rate. If the COM Port baud rate is 9600 and the network baud rate is

4800, set the ratio to 2. If the COM Port baud rate and the Network Baud Rate are the same, set the Ratio to 1

 Packet Delay (s)

Tells the Host the number of seconds to delay between sending each data packet (range is from 0.00 to 10.00

seconds in 0.25 second intervals)

 Host/Remote

Allows the user to choose the COM Port configuration

o Host (Primary Port) - Configure the Primary COM Port as the Host device (the device initiating packets to

the Remote device).

o Remote (Primary Port) - Configure the Primary COM Port as the Remote device (the device responding to

the packets from the Host device.

o Host/Remote (1 computer / 2 ports) - Configure the Primary COM Port as the Host device and the

Secondary COM Port as the Remote device. A computer with 2 COM Ports is required for this option.

o Host/Remote (1 Port using a Y-cable) - A computer with 1 COM Port is typical for this option (See Table 8).

Configure the Primary COM Port as the Host and Remote device. A Y-cable is required for this option

(where Tx connections are split out to the transmitting device and the Rx connections are split out to the

receiving device).
