4. Set the radio conﬁguration. The transceiver is designed for quick

installation with a minimum of software conﬁguration in most cases.

The selections that need to be veriﬁed for new installations are:

• Transmit frequency

• Receive frequency

• Transmitter output power

• Network address (factory default is

NONE)

The operating frequencies are not set at the factory unless they are

speciﬁed at the time of order. Determine the transmit and receive

frequencies to be used, and follow the steps below to program them.

5. Connect a terminal interface (personal computer or a hand-held

terminal) to the

DATA INTERFACE connector. (See PC Connection

and Startup on Page 14 for details.)

6. Press to receive the ready “>” prompt.

a. Set the transmit frequency with the TX xxx.xxx command.

Press after the command.

b. Set the receive frequency with the

RX xxx.xxx command.

Press after the command.

c. Set the network address with the

ADDR xxx command.

Press after the command. After programming, the

terminal interface reads

PROGRAMMED OK to indicate successful

entry.

7. Disconnect the terminal interface from the

DATA INTERFACE

connector.

8. Connect the data equipment to the transceiver’s

DATA INTERFACE

connector. Use only the required pins for the application—do not

use a fully pinned (25 conductor) cable. Basic applications often

require only the use of Pin 2 (Transmitted Data—TXD), Pin 3

(Received Data—RXD), and Pin 7 (Signal Ground).

Additional connections may be required in some installations. Refer

to the complete list of pin functions in Table 3 on Page 11.
