OPERATIONS
Page 43 MRC-565 Packet Data Radio Operations & Maintenance
5.2 Configuring the MRC-565 Manually
The critical configuration parameters are:
• Radio ID Sets unique radio up to 65,000
• Channel Sets frequency, modulation type, and channel number.
• Device Type Remote, Base
• Device Role LOS
• I/O Port Assignment//Drivers Port function, number, and protocol
• Low Power Modes Power modes to reduce DC power used in receive modes
• IP Configuration Ethernet Configuration
Parameters or operational states set by these commands are retained and will determine the way
in which the MRC-565 will interact with other equipment at the site and with the
communications network.
Most configuration parameters can be viewed with the CONFIG, ASSIGN, SNP and CR10X
commands. You should use these commands to verify that the configuration is correct. If it is not
correct, use the appropriate command(s) to correct the configuration, and then enter the "save"
command to write the configuration parameters into the CPM.
5.2.1 Setting the Radio ID
Verify the ID is set correctly with the following command:
ID [ENTER]
If it is not correct, refer to Section 4.3.3 for instructions on how to set it.
This will show you the “Active” TX and RX Frequency pair and frequency pairs for up to 20
channels that were programmed at the factory.
