M Series Data Radio – User Manual

Port A Configuration

Character Layer

There are two standard formats and a custom format that can be

selected by checking the appropriate control button to the left of the

description. The standard formats are:

• 9600,N,8,1 (data speed = 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1

stop bit)

• 4800,N,8,1 (data speed = 4800 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1

stop bit)

A non-standard format can be selected via the Custom button that

displays a dialogue box to permit selection of data speed, parity,

number of data bits and stop bits. Once selected the OK button should

be used to complete the selection. The custom selection is also

displayed in the main window below the Custom button.

Clone Mode

This function permits writing of the same configuration data to several

units. This feature is normally used for configuring data radio modems

connected locally.

The procedure is:

• Read the configuration from the first unit.

• Configure the parameters (or open a previously saved

configuration file).

• Select Clone Mode (Modem menu).

• Write the configuration to the first unit.

• The changes will take effect when unit is re-powered.

• Connect the next unit.

• Write the next unit which establishes a session and recognises

the unit serial number and type, which then configures the unit

• Re-power the unit for changes to take effect

• Repeat the last 3 steps for the remaining units.

ttings

This menu permits selection of the PC serial port (COM1 to COM4)

to be used for communications with the unit. COM1 is the default

selection and if a different port is to be used it must be set before

establishing a session by reading the configuration from a unit. Whilst

a session is established with a unit this menu can not be accessed.
