TS4000 Radio Modem User’s Manual Configuration Program 7
Configuration Program
The configuration program is used to configure the TS4000 for operation.
Configuring the TS4000 consists of independently configuring both the modem
operation and the radio frequency channels. The configuration program consists
of controls and menus. The controls set the configuration and test options. The
menus (line items at the top of the screen) execute program commands.
In addition to configuring the TS4000, the configuration program provides access
to the AirTest wireless modem test software and the TS4000 firmware upgrade
program (see Testing, Upgrading Firmware).
The configuration program has on-line help that contains information on how to
use the program and also detailed information on specific controls and menus.
Help is accessed by selecting a command from the help menu, pressing the
question button or pressing the F1 key.

Serial Cable
To transfer configurations between the TS4000 and a PC, their serial ports must
be connected together. The serial cable used should be a standard straight
through (i.e. pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc) serial cable. This is the same type
of cable used to connect a PC to a standard phone modem (See Serial Port).
Software Connection
Before configurations can be retrieved from and programmed into the TS4000 the
configuration program must connect to the TS4000. To connect, select the
Connect to Modem command from the Modem
menu or press the Connect to Modem button.
Connecting to the TS4000 puts it into program
mode. When in program mode the TS4000's RX
and TX LEDs remain on continuously.
When connected to the TS4000 the configuration
program may disable (lighter shade) some of the
controls. These disabled controls are options
that are not available with that particular TS4000's version of firmware. These
controls are re-enabled when the connection is broken (using the Disconnect
command from the Modem menu or the Disconnect button).
