SATELLINE-4Pro
User Guide v0.93 DRAFT

SATELLINE modems must have the following key settings:
FEC OFF (because the FEC here means SATEL 3AS FEC, not Pacific Crest/TRIMTALK FEC)
Error check OFF
Full CRC16 check OFF
Radio Compatibility (according to selected Pacific Crest protocol mode setting)
Pacific Crest 4-FSK
Pacific Crest GMSK
TRIMTALK GMSK, RX fitted to Pacific Crest transmitters
TRIMTALK GMSK, RX fitted to Trimble transmitters
PCC-FST
Addressing:
When TX address is selected ON, then TX1 address is used like PDL Remote address
that is the destination address for the transmitted messages.
Default value is 0x00FF (=255) (note the hexadecimal format of the setting)
When RX Address is selected ON, then RX1 address is used like PDL Local address
Default value is 0x0000 (=0) (note the hexadecimal format of the setting)
Note: Addresses are NOT applicable in TRIMTALK 450s mode so SATELLINE modems
must have their RX/TX addresses OFF with Option3.
The configuration tools and settings are different between SATELLINE and Pacific Crest modems:
Pacific Crest modems are configured via the serial port using PDLCONF Windows
TM
program that sends binary control messages to the serial port of the modem.
SATELLINE-4Pro radio modems are configured via the serial port using SATEL
Configuration Manager PC-program.
The table below shows the analogy of settings between Pacific Crest and SATELLINE radio
modems (status in firmware version v3. 46.3).
