Offline Diagnostics will be used. Since the Short ID is derived from the ID Number, no entry is allowed
in
this field. The range of the Short ID is 1 to 1023.
Comment
The Comment field can be used as a notepad (i.e., customer name, location, technical info...etc can be
entered in this field). Comments are text up to 39 characters including spaces.
Date Last Configured
The Date Last Configured field shows the date the unit was last programmed. The date is taken from the
operating program. No entry is allowed in this field.
Total Configurations
The Total Configurations field shows the number of times a unit has been programmed. No entry is
allowed
in this field.
Online Diagnostics
If enabled, diagnostics information is sent at the beginning of each transmission. Diagnostics information
is
invisible to user data except for the increase in RTS/CTS delay of 11ms (at 9600 b/s). The default value is
“Enabled” (checked)
All units in a network must use the same setting. Diagnostics from the last 15 stations heard are stored in
each unit. These values or read using the Offline or Online Diagnostics screen.

Transmitted information includes:
� Short ID
� Supply Voltage (in Volts)
� Internal Temperature (in Celsius)
� Forward and Reverse Power (in Watts) (T-96S and GUARDIAN only)
� Received Signal Strength (in dBm)
T-Base Option
Available when connected to a GUARDIAN Wireless Modem, the “T-Base Option” makes the necessary
circuit
changes to allow using the modem as a special diagnostic unit in the T-Base/R. The default value is
“Disabled” (unchecked).
Repeater Mode (Extended T1 RTS-CTS refer to Table 2-8, page 2-13)
The Repeater Mode option extends transmitter turn-on time to allow use in a repeater network. The
default
value is “Disabled” (unchecked).
Extended Turn-off (T2)
The Extended Turn-off option extends transmitter turn-off time to enforce a quiet period at the end of
each
transmission. Select “Enabled” if data equipment does not clearly terminate each data frame and is
susceptible to extraneous bits (dribble bits) at the end of data transmission. The default value is
“Disabled”
(unchecked).
Values are: 4800 b/s = 16 ms; 9600 b/s = 8 ms; 19200 b/s = 4 ms
An end-of-transmission quiet period approximately 8 characters long can be invoked on the GUARDIAN
by
holding its transmitter on briefly after RTS is dropped. This quiet period (which occurs between the last
valid data character and any possible extraneous “noise” bits) may be of benefit to some DTE that would
otherwise be adversely affected by the extraneous bits.
Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only
The Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only option instructs the modem to receive diagnostic information
received from other modems only. Enabling this option disables user data delivery. This function is
provided to use with the Diagnostic Unit incorporated in a T-Base or T-Base/R. The default value for this
