Tuning Transceiver Performance
FreeWave allows you to tune several parameters to optimize its performance for
your particular application. All adjustments are done through the FreeWave
setup program, a user interface which eliminates the need for setup diskettes,
DIP switch settings, or custom software.
The setup program is invoked by connecting FreeWave to any computer running
a terminal program, setting the baud rate for that terminal to 19200 baud, and
putting the transceiver into setup mode (on most models this is done by pressing
the Setup button). While any terminal which can be set to 19200 baud will work,
examples for this manual were generated using Microsoft Windows' Terminal or
Hyperterminal applications. You may connect to either the Data Port or the
Diagnostics port (using a special cable that you may obtain from FreeWave).
