SITE TESTING
KEY [YES/NO]?_
 Press YES to enter SITE TESTING. SITE TESTING is an
excellent way to assess your R/F communication in any area.
It can help you determine the best place to locate your Base
station for maximum R/F performance as well as troubleshoot
problems that may relate to range or interference.
 Press NO to loop back to the SIGN ON? prompt.
You can back-out of any mode or prompt by pressing the F1 key. For
example, if you press YES at the SETUP MODE? prompt but really meant
to press NO, press the F1 key to take you back to the menu. The F1 key on
the R/F Terminal keypad works like the ESC key on the PC – it will usually
get you out and back to the previous step. You can use the F1 key to exit
and SIGN OUT when using a Two-Way communication program running
on the host computer.
The entire mode menu can be skipped (see Chapter 2; RF System Setup),
causing the R/F Terminal to automatically SIGN-ON or go to ONE-WAY
mode on power up.
Installing the R/F Terminal Utilities Software
