7 SETTINGS
7.1 Programming Mode
The settings of SATELLINE-M3-TR1 are fully configurable in Programming Mode by using a
suitable terminal program. The most recommendable set-up (optional): NARS-1F-4A interface
adapter, CRS-9 cable, a power supply and the SaTerm terminal program. NARS-1F-4A contains
a switch to enable easy shifting into the Programming Mode. Other suitable terminal programs
like SATEL Configuration Manager may also be used.
The radio modem will shift into the Programming Mode by connecting the D-connector pin 12 to
ground (GND). When using the NARS-1F-4A, this can be accomplished by moving the slide
switch downwards.
In the Programming Mode, the radio modem will use serial port PORT1, with settings 9600 bps,
N, 8,1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit). For more detailed
instructions for changing each setting.
If the SL-command function has been activated active radio channel and addresses can be
changed without switching the radio modem into Programming Mode. Serial port settings will
remain as those defined previously when the radio modem was in Programming Mode.
7.1.1 Changing the settings
o Basic settings for the serial port of the host computer, when using a terminal program to
communicate with SATEL radio modems, are as follows: “COM1, 9600 bps, 8-bit data,
none parity, 1 stop bit”.
o The power cable (+V
b
and GND) must be connected to a power supply with a proper output
voltage and with a minimum output current of 2 A (for +3 … +9 V PWR-module) and 1 A
(for +6 … +30 V PWR-module).
o Connect cables (RS-232 cable to PC COM-port, power supply cable to power supply).
o Switch on the PC and start SaTerm program (or other terminal program).
o Open a terminal window and then choose ”Pr” (in case you are using some other terminal
program, set the serial port parameters of the program as follows: 9600 bits/s, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, which is always the default in Programming Mode).
o Connect PROG-pin to ground (if using the NARS-1F-4A adapter, slide the switch
downwards), the radio modem shifts now into the Programming Mode. The screen should
look similar to the one shown in the picture below.
o Make desired changes to the settings.
