When the setup program is invoked all three LEDs on the FreeWave front panel
will turn green and will remain green for the entire time the Transceiver is in setup
mode. The main menu screen for the setup program is shown in Figure 1:
The initial menu provides the Transceiver's unique serial number, firmware
version, and the set of choices for editing the operational parameters and viewing
the performance data.
(0) Set Operation Mode
When item (0) is selected the Operation Mode Menu appears as shown in figure
2. The Operation Mode option is used to designate the method in which the
particular FreeWave Transceiver will be used. FreeWave operates in a Master to
Slave configuration; therefore, any Transceivers which are intended to operate
together must be set up as such. In a point-to-point setup, either the master or
slave may be used on either end of the communications link without any
performance degradation. One consideration when setting up the Transceivers is
that a number of parameters are controlled by the settings in the master;
therefore, you may wish to deploy the master on the communications end where
you will have easier access to the transceiver.
