2.2 PROGRAMMING AND MONITORING
Programming and monitoring is most easily accomplished with RF Technology’s
Service Kit software. This software is based on Java platform and can be run under
various operation systems on the host PC, it provides a number of additional useful
facilities for the base station configurations.
Service Kit software allows configuring of base station (e.g. the channels, output power,
signal path, etc.) without hardware alignment, it also provides a simple means of
calibrating the RF power, RSSI level, line levels. For more details of Service Kit
software, please refer the document: RFT Doc No. 0305917801 (Service Kit Operation
Manual).
Service Kit software and the operation manual can be supplied by your dealer,
distributor or by contacting RF Technology directly.
There are three interfaces which can be used for connecting host PC and base station:
