Forced switching of the active radio modem is possible locally from the “Manual” switch in

the MR-1000 front panel. To force switch the active radio modem remotely, see the

following instructions.

Connect to the MR-1000 RJ45 NMS port, using IP address. The switching is forced by

using MODBUS commands to virtual port 2 (COM port) by a terminal program.

To trigger the manual remote switch both of the commands (ref. Command table below)

needs to be sent (ON/OFF). The status can be asked by the “Read Status” operation.
