Setting the MDC ID

In most systems, it is necessary to set a unique ID for each MDC that is installed. (NOTE:

In an EDACS Data Network the MDC ID has to be the same as the LID of the mobile

radio it is connected to. When the MDC is being installed for use on a data network such

as CDPD or Mobitex, the external modem has a unique ID and the MDC ID does not

need to be configured. For these systems, please refer to the appropriate applications note

for the necessary set-up parameters.)

From the MDC maintenance menu, select the MDC configuration screens by pressing the

function key next to the MDC CONFIG text. From the MDC configuration screen, press

the MDC ID function key, enter the MDC ID at the prompt and press ENTER. Press

EXIT to leave the MDC configuration screen

Important:

Before exiting from the MDC Maintenance screen, the newly entered value must be saved.

To save modified parameters, select the SYS CONFIG function key. The next screen will

not display any function keys; however, there is a save function associated with the bottom

function key. Press this key and you will be prompted to save the changed values. Press

ENTER and the values will be saved.
