2 Configuring the SiteNet 450
6 SiteNet 450 Operation Manual
2.1 Introduction
The SiteNet 450 radio-modem contains both a data modem and a
radio. It can be used in a variety of configurations to form a complete
wireless data network. One configuration is as a base radio
broadcasting directly to a Trimble 4700™, 4800™, or 5700™ rover
GPS receiver that contains an internal radio-modem. Alternatively, an
SiteNet 450 can operate as a repeater or as a receiving radio for a
machine control system.
2.2 Default Settings
The SiteNet 450 serial output ports are configured at the factory with
the following settings:
• 38400 baud
• 8 data bits, no parity
• 1 stop bit
The SiteNet 450 is preconfigured as a rover. It retrieves these
parameters at power up. They can be changed using the WinFLASH
utility.
2.3 Configuration
WinFLASH is a utility programme used to configure the SiteNet 450.
You need Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000 or Windows NT to run
WinFLASH on your PC. For more information about the installation of
WinFLASH, read the README.TXT file provided on the WinFLASH
CD.
