Part I – TVIEW+ Management Suite -

Programmer

Introduction

This manual covers the installation and operation of the E Series

TVIEW+ Management Suite which incorporates 3 utilities:

• Programmer for conﬁguration of the radio RF parameters,

system parameters and data ports

• Diagnostics* for real-time monitoring and logging of radio

performance parameters

• Firmware Update for loading new ﬁrmware releases into the

radio data modem

All utilities can be run on any IBM compatible computer running

Windows 95® and above. This section describes use of the

programmer and ﬁrmware Update utilities in detail. Users should

refer to the separate Diagnostics section for information about this

utility.

The programmer is used to set conﬁguration parameters within

the ER450 data radio modem and EB450 base station. The utility

permits conﬁguration of modems connected directly to the PC as

well as over the air to a remote unit. Conﬁguration parameters

can be saved to a disk ﬁle for later retrieval, or used for clone

programming of other modems.

All conﬁguration parameters are held in non-volatile memory

(NVRAM) on the Data Radio Modem. Conﬁguration is fully

programmable via the Systems Port using the programming

adaptor and cable supplied. Disassembly of the unit is not required

for any reason other than for servicing.

The diagnostics utility permits monitoring and logging of radio

performance parameters for both E Series* as well as D Series*

data radio modems and base stations. It supports homogeneous

systems of radios as well as mixed systems of both E and D series

radios.

The ﬁrmware update utility permits ﬁeld upgrade of the ﬁrmware in

an ER450 data radio modem, EB450 base station and EH450 hot

standby unit connected directly to the PC. A special serial adaptor

cable is required to be connected to Port B to load ﬁrmware into

the unit.
