2.5 INITIAL PREPARATION FOR USE
Before applying power to the MDR and
BDR, securely connect the RF antennas to
both units. Failure to observe these
cautions can damage the equipment
.
The radios are configured at the factory for usage in the field. Default addresses (BDR) and
ID’s (MDR) are installed. The actual addresses and ID’s used in a system must be
programmed by the user. The following procedure explains how this data is programmed into
a radio.
2.5.1 SETTING UP COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE LCP TERMINAL PORT
• Connect the
DIAGNOSTIC
ports of each of the radios to a PC running ProComm™ (or
other Terminal Communication Program). Refer to the attached cable drawings for sample
cable information.
• Set the Communication’s program up with the following settings:
Baud Rate = 19200
Parity = None
Data Bits = 8
Stop Bits = 1
Duplex = Full
Terminal Emulation = VT100 or compatible
Transmit Pacing = 0 mSec
Example (if using ProComm™):
• Press ALT-P to bring up the current settings window. This window will allow you to setup
the Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, and Stop Bits.
• Press ALT-S to bring up the Setup menu, select Terminal Options. This will allow you to
set Duplex and Terminal Emulation.
• Press ALT-S to bring up the Setup menu, select General Options. This will allow you to
set the Transmit Pacing.
