Parameter settings are modified from three screen tabs: the Modem tab, COM/Analog tab, and Radio tab.
When desired parameters in each tab window have been adjusted, select the OK button to store the
parameter information into local PC memory and exit the parameter screen. Clicking the Default Parms
button sets certain parameters back to factory default settings. Clicking Cancel exits the parameter screen
without modifying any parameters currently stored in local PC memory.
Modem operating parameters include:
Long ID
The electronic ID Number is a unique number assigned at the factory. This number may be changed in the
case of a duplication. The ID Number is used by the programmer for remote addressing and diagnostics.
The range of this field is 1 to 4294967295 but multiples of 1024 should not be used. A multiple of 1024
results in a Short ID of 0. If the ID Number is within the range of 1 to 1023, the Short ID will be the same.
NOTE: This ID is not the same as the printed serial number. Use the printed serial number to verify if the
unit is under warranty.
Short ID
The Short ID is derived from the longer ID Number. It is used to identify units and minimizes the time
required to transmit Online Diagnostics. The Short ID of each unit in a network must be unique if Online or
Offline Diagnostics will be used. Since the Short ID is derived from the ID Number, no entry is allowed in
this field. The range of the Short ID is 1 to 1023.
Comment
The Comment field can be used as a notepad (i.e., customer name, location, technical info...etc can be
entered in this field). Comments are text up to 39 characters including spaces.
Date Last Configured
The Date Last Configured field shows the date the unit was last programmed. The date is taken from the
operating program. No entry is allowed in this field.
Total Configurations
The Total Configurations field shows the number of times a unit has been programmed. No entry is allowed
in this field.
Online Diagnostics
If enabled, diagnostics information is sent at the beginning of each transmission. Diagnostics information is
invisible to user data except for the increase in RTS/CTS delay of
11ms
(at 9600 b/s). The default value is
“Enabled” (checked)
All units in a network must use the same setting. Diagnostics from the last 15 stations heard are stored in
each unit. These values or read using the Offline or Online Diagnostics screen.
