Introduction
This manual covers the installation and operation of the M 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
All utilities can be run on any IBM compatible computer running
Windows 95® and above. This section describes use of the
programmer in detail. Users should refer to the E-Series User Manual
for information on the diagnostics utility.
The programmer is used to set configuration parameters within the
MR450 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 (EB and EH Only). 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* and M Series* data radio
modems and E Series* base stations. It supports homogeneous
systems of radios as well as mixed systems of both E and M series
radios.
* Requires the optional DIAGS Network Management and Remote
Diagnostic Facility to be installed - per radio. Local (unit) diagnostics
only when connected to M Series radio.
