Setup Port
Setting Description
Options
l (1) Main Only - Programming and reading a radio's setup information is done
through the Data port.
l (2) Diagnostics Only - Programming and reading a radio's setup information
is done through the Diagnostic port.
Important!: If the Serial Interface (on page 32) is set to anything
other than RS232, then the Setup Port must be set to
Diagnostics Only.
l (3) Both - Programming and reading a radio's setup information is done
through either the data port or the diagnostic port .
Setup Terminal
Menu
(1) Set Baud Rate > (D) Setup Port
Description
Determines which port on the radio, Main or Diagnostics, is used to access the
parameter settings in the Setup main menu in the terminal interface.
l The main Data port is the RS232 / RS485 port.
l The Diagnostics port is a 3-pin connector.
l The Diagnostic cable for this port is FreeWave Part Number: ASC0409DC.
4.2.7. Turn Off Delay
NAME
Setting Description
Default Setting 0
Options Any number between 0 and 9
Setup Terminal
Menu
(1) Edit Baud Rate > Turn Off Delay
Description
Specifies the time after the end of transmission of a character to the RS485 bus
that the radio stops driving the bus and releases the bus to other devices.
l The units are ¼ of a character with a range of 0-9.
l A setting of 4 means a delay equivalent to the duration of a full character.
l The default is 0 (zero) delay.
l For data rates of 1200 bits/S or slower, avoid setting the Turn Off Delay
parameter higher than 4.
l At those rates the functionality of the microprocessor changes so that a
Turn Off Delay of 5 has the same effect as if set to 1, and a setting of 6 has
the same effect as 2, and so on.
l Turn Off Delay must be set to a value of at least 4 for RS422 and RS485
operation.
