STEP PROCEDURE
STMON ST Programming
STMON J will program previous release level STs using a 2 digit RF channel
numbering scheme. If STMON is connected to an "old" ST it will display the 2 digit
RF band in RED. The ST can be programmed as per the old scheme.
1. Ensure that the mounted CRU is facing in the general direction of the CT office
before commencing set-up and commissioning procedure.
2. Connect cable between Subscriber Terminal and PC as described in section B1.
3. From the DOS prompt start STMON by typing;
stmon
4. If the STMON panel shows a Com Time-out then;
a) Check cable connection.
b) Check PC Com port. The default is com 1. To change the com port
see section B2.
5. ST software build and channel codes may not be fully displayed unless the ST is
power cycled after STMON is connected and invoked. Immediately after power-up
the ST outputs data for STMON specifying the ST software version and the ST RF
channel code. STMON is updated with RF link status information. STMON
support can be ceased and reactivated by pressing F2 to ‘Close’ and F1 to ‘Open’
STMON communications.
6. If a message is not received after five seconds, STMON reports a communications
time-out alarm. If after pressing F1 the comms time-out alarm does not clear then
this indicates that there is a cable / com port selection fault or that the ST is faulty.
7. Once the Comms status of “COM(x): OK” has been achieved, the CRU RF
parameters /ST options are programmed by pressing the F4 function key followed
by the specific code number for the RF band/channel, pn code, RW code or ST
option code (and finally carriage return).
