1. Install and connect the antenna system to the transceiver
• Use a high-quality gain antenna, mounted in the clear.
• Use a low-loss feedline such as LMR 400.
• Preset directional antennas in the direction of desired transmission/reception.
2. Connect the data equipment to the radio’s DB-9F DATA connector
• Connect only the required pins.
EIA-232, shown below, typically uses only
TXD, RXD and GND. (See Page 71 for EIA-485 interface connections.)
•Verify the connected data equipment is configured as DTE. The radio is DCE.
3. Apply DC power to the radio. Use the supplied 2-pin connector
• Input voltage is 6–30 Vdc. Observe proper polarity. The left pin is positive (+)
and the right pin is negative (–). (See Page 17 for details.)
4. Configure with a PC terminal or TransNET Configuration Software
• Connect computer to radio’s DIAG connector. See Page 69 for cable wiring.
• Set the Mode using the
MODE M
(Master),
MODE R
(Remote), or
MODE X
(Extension) command. (Note: Only
one
Master is permitted in a system.)
• Set a unique Network Address (1–65000) using
ADDR
command. Each radio
in the system
must
have the same network address.
Tip: Use the last four
digits of the Master’s serial number to help avoid conflicts with other users.
• Set the baud rate/data interface parameters. Default setting is 9600 bps, 8
data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. If changes are required, use the
BAUD xxxxx
abc
command where
xxxxx
equals the data rate (300–115200 bps) and
abc
equals the communication parameters as follows:
a
= Data Bits (7 or 8)
b
= Parity (N for None, O for Odd, E for Even
c
= Stop Bits (1 or 2)
NOTE:
7N1, 8E2 and 8O2 are not supported.
5. Verify proper operation by observing the LED display
• Refer to Table 6 on Page 20 for a description of the status LEDs.
•Refine directional antenna headings for maximum received signal strength
using the
RSSI
command. (Remotes must be synchronized with the master.)
