3.14.3 Diagnostics Port Operation
The Diagnostics Port is used to retrieve diagnostic about the Tsunami radios by means of a
computer connection. This port is normally used only by Glenayre Western Multiplex.
The diagnostics port allows connection of either EIA standard RS-232 or RS-422 devices to poll
and receive status of the Tsunami radio. This serial port provides similar information to that which
is normally available to a local operator by means of visual alarms and status (front panel LEDs,
ADDRESS, DIP switch settings etc.), including voltage level measurements (such as RSL, PWR)
and alarm port (see Section 3.14.2) status. The diagnostics port can also provide extended
information including some advanced diagnostics and configuration information. Any information
that is available on the far-end terminal is also available at the near-end Diagnostics port (such as
far-end RSL, far-end alarms) by means of bridging the AUX DATA port (as described in Section
3.14.4). A DIP switch is used to define the command protocol for this port as shown in Figure 3-
14. The default setting is for user data. The other setting is for factory use only.
