Step 10 - Commissioning Record
After a packet transmission test has been performed, a Commissioning Record can be prepared. This facility is activated by
clicking on the “Commissioning Record” button.
It is recommended that the radio is configured to use the current date (either time configured manually or obtained from an
NTP server) otherwise the date / time shown will not be correct.
The user can enter an appropriate Unit Name and Location for reference purposes. Additionally, a comment may be added
noting the type of antenna in use. Once this information has been added, the web page can be printed (using the print facility
in your web browser). It may be useful to print the commissioning record to PDF for future reference.
This now completes the requirements for setting up a half duplex, Point to Point Q Data Radio Link. The radios are now ready for
application testing. The application can be connected to either ETH1 or ETH2 or both.
Step 9 - Packet Transmission Test
This tool provides a useful way to test a radio communications link by transmitting data packets between two units in a loop-
backed mode.
You can find this tool in the “Diagnostics” tab, then click on the “Packet Transmission Test” sub-menu.
Enter the “Destination IP Address” field with the IP address of the of the target radio that you want to ping. Ensure the
“Number of Packets” is set to 1000. Now click on the “Start Packet Test” button. The radio will indicate the packet test has
started and is currently running and both units will have flashing Tx LEDs indicating data is being transmitted.
When the test is complete, a note stating “Packet transmission test completed” will be shown and the test results
summarized in the “Test Results” section.
The test results show TX & RX Packets, Lost Packets and the Packet Error Rate.
