The following instructions will explain how to poll Q data radios using eDiags over a wireless network.
(1) Enable eDiags within each radio that is required to be polled. Configure the following parameter in each radio:
•Local Port number - This will be the port number the eDiags session (within the PC) will address all eDiags data to
(example uses: 1040)
(2) Ensure the TView+ Diagnostics software has been installed on your PC
(3) Open the TView+ Diagnostics software on the PC and configure the following items (for detailed instructions on the
TView+ Diagnostics software, please refer to the TView+ Diagnostics user manual):
• Create a list (database) of Q data radios that are required to be polled for diagnostics. Each data base entry should have
the communications port set to eDiags (Ethernet) and configured to use the IP address and eDiags port number of the
corresponding radio. Each serial number entered needs to be correct. Other information can also be specified.
• Define the IP address and local listening port number for the eDiags session (controller address and port number). This
can be configured in Settings -> eDiags Port settings. The IP address and port number configured, needs to match the
controller IP address and controller port number specified within the eDiags settings within each of the radios (they
should all have common settings).
This now completes the requirements for configuring eDiags. The operation of eDiags for a typical poll/response diagnostics
transaction is as follows:
(1) The TView+ Diagnostics software constructs a UDP/IP data gram which targets the embedded eDiags server of each radio
configured within the database.
(2) The UDP datagram is placed onto the LAN/WAN which routes the datagram onto the radio network.
(3) The entry point radio will respond to any poll addressed to it’s own IP address and eDiags port, or, will transmit the poll
over the air to the targeted radio.
(4) The targeted radio will then respond to the poll, by transmitting a response, which will be sent back to the controller
address (the Diagnostics PC).

Step-by-Step eDiags Setup
e-diagnostics (also known as eDiags) is a feature of the TView+ diagnostics software that encapsulates the TView+
diagnostics protocol in an Ethernet UDP/IP packet. Together with the eDiags server embedded into each Q data radio, the
user can monitor a Q data radio network using the TView+ diagnostics software over an Ethernet LAN/WAN. A typical use
diagram is shown below.
For more information on the features, benefits and technical details of the TView+ diagnostics software, please refer to the
TView+ diagnostics user manual.
