The configuration of SATELLINE-4Pro can be easily changed. Simply by connecting MODE pin (see
chapter 6.2) of the data connector to ground (GND) the radio modem will switch into Programming
Mode. Serial PORT 1 is used whenever the radio modem is in the Programming Mode. The serial
port settings are 9600 bps, N, 8,1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, none parity, character length 8
bits and one (1) stop bit).
SATELLINE-4Pro contains push buttons and a LCD-display, which can be used to modify
configuration settings without the help of an external terminal device. The radio modem will switch
into Programming Mode by pressing the ”SETUP” ( )button.
9.1 Changing parameters using the LCD-display
SATELLINE-4Pro contains an LCD-display that shows the valid functions and allows modification of
the settings.
On standby mode the LCD-display will shortly display the basic information, which is revolving
automatically in 5 seconds. The following settings are shown: TX and RX frequencies, Compatibility,
TX Power and Channel Spacing, Reference frequency and Com Port 1.
The radio modems´ configuration settings can be done without the use of an external terminal
device. This is especially convenient when modifying or re-installing radio modems in the field. The
radio modem is switched into Programming Mode by pressing the ”SET-UP-button ( ).
The main menu is used to select the desired submenus, and the modifications are performed using
these submenus. It is possible to jump back at any time to the previous (higher) level in the menu
hierarchy by just pressing the ”CANCEL”-button (or in some cases the ”BACK”-button). Pressing the
orbutton modifies parameters with numerical values consisting of digits. Use until the said digit
(with the cursor blinking under it) has reached the desired value. In the case of numerical values
the ”NEXT-button is used to move on to the next digit in the numerical value and then the above
described process is used to modify it. The process is repeated until all digits in the value have been
edited. Toggle-type parameters (typically with ON/OFF choices modifications have to be confirmed
by pressing the ”SELECT”- or ”SET”-button.
This is the display in Data Transfer
