The Setup / Diagnostic Software
The OS2400 Setup Application provides a user interface for the configuration and
maintenance of a radio network, regardless of the intended application. It graphically
reflects the physical layout of the component radios.
The Setup Application provides a means to:
?? configure new networks or radios:
?? assign roles (Master or Remote) to the radios.
?? define data paths
?? set the radio’s operation parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.)
?? edit existing networks or radios:
?? add or delete Remote Radios (in point-multipoint networks only)
?? re-assign roles to the radios.
?? re-define operation parameters
?? diagnose functioning of existing networks.
With a MASTER cabled to the PC, the status of each REMOTE can be displayed.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the OS2400 Setup Application be installed on only one computer
and that the network configuration be done from only that one computer.
When a network is designed, the configuration settings are stored in a database which is
internal to the OS2400 Setup Application. When networks are modified, the OS2400
Setup Application depends upon the retrieval of the network’s configuration history.
Network modification and maintenance is easier if the OS2400 Application Software is
installed on only one computer. All subsequent network-related configurations are done
using that one computer.
Through out these Help files, the computer into which the OS2400 Setup Application has
been installed will be referred to as the Configuration PC.
