interference from other networks using RFI-9256 radio radios. The code is a 32-bit (9 digit)
number, which allows 0 to 4294967295 combinations.
 Delete Security Code: Clears the security code
 Set Current Time: Sets the internal real-time clock. The real-time clock on the RFI-9256 does not
use non-volatile storage, and thus will be reset whenever power is removed.

 Display Status: This function gives a summary of the information regarding the configuration of
the radio.
 Test Indicator LEDs: Selecting this function starts a test of the front panel LEDs. This is a visual
test and the LEDs must be observed while this test is in progress. It simply turns the LEDs on and
off operating using all the colours in a predefined sequence.
 Test Digital Outputs: This will cause all the auxiliary I/Os to be set as outputs, and then each I/O
turned on then off in turn. This is used to test the functionality of the I/O port.
 Show channel signal/noise: When this function is selected, a table showing the signal and noise
levels for each channel is displayed. If a ‘??’ is displayed as the signal value then there wasn’t a
recent sample for that channel.
 Show Stats/Logging: Shows the statistics relating to the quality of the data throughput and
information regarding the performance of both serial ports.
