This chapter contains information for the standard operation of the LNKF100 Modules.
2.1 Software Set-Up
The LNKF100 module is shipped with the following factory set options:
Table 3 LNKF100 Factory Set Options
OPTION RANGE OF VALUES DEFAULT VALUE
Frequency See Model Chart Order Specific
Receive Threshold –110 to -50 dB -95 dB
Receive Hysteresis 1 to 10 dB 3.0 dB
Time Out 1 to 600 Seconds, or none None
Module Enabled On / Off On
Transmit Power Level 20 to 37 dBm Order Specific
Default values may be changed when an order is placed. Check your order confirmation (shipped
with modules) for customized values.
2.2 Configuration
In line with the versatility of the LinkNet
TM
Platform, it is possible to reconfigure the LNKF100
module in the field, either with a Personal Computer (PC) or via the optional Control Module. To
use a PC it is necessary to have a Powerwave CAB000000057 control cable to connect between
the appropriate module's DB15 connector on the back of the card-cage and the standard DB9
RS232 connector on the PC. On the PC a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal is
used to communicate to the LinkNet Module. The settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. Commands are one or two words followed by pressing Return. Commands may be given
in upper or lower-case. Available commands are:
ACCESS USER: Required as a simple password to gain access to customer settable
parameters and diagnostics. This will time-out after 10 minutes, and may
have to be re-typed.
HELP or ?: Displays a list of available commands.
LIST: Displays current settings and status faults, etc.
VER: Display the current version of software.
ENABLE 1 or 0: Enables or disables the module.
TXFREQ #########: Displays or sets the current transmit frequency (in Hertz).
RXFREQ #########: Displays or sets the current receive frequency (in Hertz).
TXPOWER ###: Displays or sets the transmit power level (in tenths of a dBm).
RXTHRESH -####: Displays or sets the receive threshold level (in tenths of a dBm).
RXHYSTER ##: Displays or sets the receive hysteresis (in tenths of a dB).
TIMEOUT ####: Displays or sets the timeout-timer value (in Seconds).
Enter 0 for no timeout.
TESTOSC 1 or 0: Enables or disables the test oscillator.
