RXTOT [NONE, 0–1440]
Receive Data Timeout-Timer
This command sets or displays the amount of time (in minutes) to wait for the
next received data packet before issuing a receiver time-out alarm. The
default setting is NONE.
SAF [ON, OFF]
Store-and-Forward Services Support
This command enables/disables the operation of the Store-and-Forward
services. It can be set only at the network’s Master station, but will effect all
radios in the associated network. The default setting is OFF. See related
commands: “XADDR [0–31]” on Page 44, “XPRI [0–31]” on Page 44, and
“XMAP [00000000-FFFFFFFF]” on Page 44.
SETUP
Setup Radio Test
This command sets up the transceiver for checking antenna SWR or trans-
mitter power with external measuring equipment. Do not use this mode
during normal operation.
When the SETUP command is entered, the prompt changes to SETUP>, and:
• Hopping is disabled.
• Synthesizer frequencies are reset to the test frequencies specified by the
TX and RX commands described earlier.
• The radio can be keyed using the KEY command. DKEY is used to unkey
the radio. (If the radio is left in a keyed state it is automatically unkeyed
after 10 minutes.)
• The RSSI is sampled in a raw, continuous fashion regardless of whether
the unit is a Master or a Remote.
Entering Q or QUIT returns the system to normal operation.
A timer keeps the Setup mode from accidentally leaving the system disabled.
After 10 minutes the system behaves as if Q or QUIT had been entered,
returning the unit to normal operation.
NOTE: Tr ansNET uses a automatic level control in normal operation to keep transmit
power constant over time. This facility is disabled in Setup mode. To test 1 Watt
power output in Setup mode, the user must enter PWR 30 followed by
KEY. The
power output will only be valid for the first couple of seconds.
SER
Radio Serial Number
Displays the serial number of the radio.
