4.1 INTRODUCTION
Local configuration of Remote transceivers is performed through a PC
terminal connected to the COM1 port of the radio. This section explains
how to establish a console session with the Remote, and provides a com-
plete list of commands.
4.2 Programming Methods
4.2.1 Terminal Interface Mode
A PC program such as HyperTerminal may be used to establish a ter-
minal session with the Remote transceiver. The PC must be connected
to the radio via its COM1 connector. Refer to PC Connection and Log-In
Procedures on Page 37 for detailed cabling information.
TIP: The HyperTerminal communications program can be accessed on
most PCs by selecting Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal.
The following terminal settings must be used to communicate with the
Remote transceiver:
• 19,200 bps data rate
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• one stop bit (8N1)
• hardware flow control disabled
• ANSI or VT100 emulation.
NOTE: The exact parameters given above must be used for terminal
communication. Improper settings are a common cause of
difficulty.
