(B) MCU SPEED
MCU Speed controls the speed of the Micro Controller Unit in the transceiver. The default setting is 0 for
low speed. A setting of 1 is required for Ethernet and UDP operation.
The following table describes the MCU speed settings.
Setting Description Notes
0 Low speed Reduces current consumption
1 High speed Required for 230 KBaud and greater data port rate
(C) REMOTE LED
This feature is not supported in the GXM. This setting should remain 0.
Show Radio Statistics
Radio Statistics in the Main Menu allows the user to view data transmission statistics gathered by the
transceiver during the most recent session. This is valuable when the user needs to know the signal
strength and noise levels of the link. Statistics are gathered during each data link and are reset when the
next link begins. See display below.
N
UMBER OF DISCONNECTS
Any time the link between the Master and the Slave is broken and the radios lose Carrier Detect, it is
recorded in the Number of Disconnects value. The value indicates the total number of disconnects that
have occurred from the time the transceiver is powered on until the radio is put into Setup mode. Under
ideal operating conditions, the number of disconnects should be 0. One or more disconnects may indicate
a weak link, the presence of severe interference problems or loss of power to any of the radios in the link.
