Sys Cfg Window Field Descriptions
Tx Power (dBm)
Power setting range in dBm. Choose from +5 to +25 dBm, in 1 dB steps.
Orderwire Address
The Orderwire telephone address. Choose any 2-digit number from 00 to 99.
Link Security Code Security code set by the user; choose 12 characters using an alphanumeric
combination of 0 to 9 and a to f (hexadecimal). This code must match the far end
radio to establish the wireless link. Changing the code initiates a 60-second timer for
the radio to check and verify the code; the RF link LED will flash red for 60 seconds
after the LINK ID is matched. Provides 12
16
possible codes (281 trillion).
Note: All user data traffic is invalid until the link security code is matched and the LED
stops flashing.
Aux Port Speed
(bps)
Speed of the auxiliary port in bits per second, in the range of 2.4 kbps to 19.2 kbps.
Must match far end radio.
RF Frequency
(TX/RX in GHz)
You can select the transmit/receive channel pair in this field. Depending upon the
model of the radio, the available choices are listed on the pull down menu. See
Technical Specifications on page 69 for information specific to the individual radio
models.
Depending upon the High or Low model of the RFU, the frequency plans listed here
show the transmit frequency on the Low half of the 5.8 GHz band, or the High half of
the 5.8 GHz band. High and low frequencies cannot be mixed.
Note: Each side of the link must have opposite Tx/Rx values.
External Input
