5. PLANNING OF WIRELESS CLUSTER
To open “Unit Properties” dialog box for the unit selected in the Site
View pane, the operator can select the “Unit Properties” item from
“Edit” menu (”Edit > Unit Properties… “.) Double-clicking on the unit
icon in the Site View pane also opens the “Unit Properties” dialog.
The left pane of the “Unit Properties” dialog is a unit’s User Setting
Tree intended to facilitate and visualize the setup process. Each node
in the tree pane corresponds to a specific tab on the dialog’s right
side. The tab can be selected by clicking on the node in the tree.
The AlphaWave radio modems have four main groups of settings:
Identification, Link, Modem and Serial Port Properties. Some of the
units’ parameters are common for all units in the wireless link/
cluster. A warning message appears if the operator attempts to set a
parameter mismatched with the rest of the units in the wireless link/
cluster. The warning message should have an option control to auto-
matically set the common parameter for all units in the wireless link/
cluster or cancel the new setting.
To configure the units, AWare uses CLI commands described in Ap-
pendix B
