Activating Transmitter
Data sent to either of the radio’s communication ports (Ethernet or Serial Port) will cause the radio to key up it’s transmitter
and send the data over the air. However, to test the transmitter with external test equipment (Tx power, VSWR or Frequency),
or to test another radio’s receiver, the Q data radio provides a means to manually control the activation of the transmitter.
To access the transmit test tool,
access the radio’s web user interface
and browse to: Maintenance ->
Transmit Test. This will display the
transmit test tool page.
The transmitter can now be
controlled via this page. To key up
the transmitter, press the ‘Turn ON’
button. By default this will enable a
Modulated Carrier for 60 seconds.
During this time, the Tx LED should
illuminate solid RED to indicate the
transmitter is active.
If the power or frequency is adjusted, and it is desired to retain this value, the Save and apply button should be pressed to
activate the changes in the radio.
Factory Default
The factory default IP address of the Q data radios is 192.168.2.15. If you want to perform configuration changes on the Q
data radio and are not aware of the configured IP address, you may need to activate a factory reset. Alternatively, COM 1 can
provide access to the radio’s configuration via Text User Interface (as long as this port remains at the default configuration).
default interface settings are: 19200, N, 8, 1, No Handshaking.
A factory reset will cause all previous configuration settings to be erased and returned to the factory default values. A factory
default can be initiated by applying DC power to the radio (wait up to 3 minutes for the unit to fully boot up, indicated
by a solid GREEN Power LED), depress the factory default switch using a paper clip or similar object and keep the switch
depressed for 6 seconds or until all four LEDs illuminate solid GREEN and begin flashing, indicating the radio will return to the
factory default settings. Wait for up to 4 minutes for the factory default reset process to complete.
