1-3.9 Utilities
To fully and efficiently utilize the Micom Pathfinder’s advanced capabilities, the following utility
packages are offered as options:
• The radio operational parameters can be programmed using the Micom Radio Control
Application (MRC), option FVN4841 (G424). For further details, refer to “Micom Radio
Control Application Owner’s Guide”, Publication OM-E 2072-09602-10.
• Data communications are supported by the MicomNET e-Mail/Gateway over HF Software
Package, covered by the “MicomNET e-Mail/Gateway over HF Software Package User’s
Guide”, Publication 6886864J01.
All the utilities listed above run on PCs using the Windows(™) operating system, and require two of
the serial RS-232 asynchronous (COM) ports of the PC for communication with the Micom
receiver/transmitter: COM2 is used as the radio control port, and COM1 is used as the modem data
port. A special data cable is available for connecting the two PC serial ports to the Micom DATA
connector.
