8.3 Detailed Command Descriptions
The essential commands for most applications are Network Address (ADDR),
Mode (MODE), and Baud Rate (BAUD). However, proper use of the additional
commands allows you to tailor the transceiver for a specific use, or to conduct
basic diagnostics on the radio. This section gives more detailed information
for the commands listed above in Section 8.2.
Most of the commands below can be used in two ways. First, you can type
only the command name (for example,
ADDR) to view the currently
programmed data. Second, you can set or change the existing data by typing
the command, followed by a space, and then the desired entry (for example,
ADDR 1234). In the descriptions which follow, allowable programming vari-
ables, if any, are shown in brackets [ ] following the command name.
ADDR [1–65000]
Network Address
This command sets or displays the radio’s network address. The network
address can range from 1 to 65000.
A network address must be programmed at the time of installation and must
be common across each radio in a given network. Radios are typically
shipped with the network address unprogrammed, causing the address to
display as
NONE. If the address is not set (or is set to a wrong value) it leaves
the system in an invalid state, preventing operation and generating an alarm.
NOTE: It is recommended that the last four digits of the Master radio’s serial number be used
for the network address. This helps avoid conflicts with other users.
