Configuring the SiteNet 450 2
Note – Channel Sharing set to Off may be illegal in your
country-of-use. You may be subject to penalties or fines
based upon the specific licensing requirements for your
country-of-use. Please consult your radio license
documentation or licensing agency for operational
guidelines.
– Avoid Weak Signals: The carrier detect mode is ON. The
radio ceases to transmit if it detects another radio
transmission on its frequency. It resumes transmission
when the channel is free of radio traffic.
– Avoid Strong Signals: The carrier detect mode is ON, but
the radio stops transmitting only when there is a strong
signal present. (Receive level > –90 dBm.)
3. Select the Enable Station ID check box and enter your Call
Sign. This is a Federal Communications Commission
requirement for U.S. licensed users. It sets your radio to
transmit your Call Sign every 15 minutes in Morse Code.
4. In the Data Port field, set the Baud Rate and Parity. These are
the communications parameters between the receiver and radio.
Note – The default GPS port parameters for the SiteNet 450 are
38400 baud rate with parity none.
5. In the Wireless Settings field, select the appropriate Current
Channel option. This field determines the radio operating
frequency.
6. Select the Wireless Mode setting. This setting determines the
over-the-air communications parameters.
Note – These settings must be the same for all radios in the
same network.
