DIP Switch Settings (-16 Models Only)

The ‘-16’ models incorporate a front panel DIP switch. Use the DIP switch for

emergency configuration or restoration for installations where there is no computer

available for complete radio configuration. Only use the DIP switch for temporary

purposes, for the purpose of a bench test or antenna alignment. Use the Exalt GUI for

complete system configuration, as required before final system deployment.

The DIP switch is only read when the critical factory reset procedure is implemented (see

Radio A/B Configuration on page 27 and Reset to Critical Factory Settings on page 44).

That is, when the RMT button is pressed and held during power up, and held through the

boot cycle (approximately 45 seconds, until LED behavior stabilizes). If changes are

made while the radio is already powered or when power is not applied, the changes are

not executed until a reset is executed.

Figure 50 depicts DIP switch positions 1 through 8, left to right, when facing the front

panel. Also, the switch is considered in the ‘One’ position when it is toggled upward, and

in the ‘Zero’ position when it is toggled downward (default).
