MDS TransNEXT Technical Manual
MDS 05-7280A01, Rev. A
To display a single attribute from a group, use dot notation as follows:
>cfg get owner.message
"TransNEXT"
NOTE
The
cfg show
command displays only the last saved configuration. The
cfg get
command
shows the scratchpad version of attributes that include changes that are not yet saved.
To change a parameter, use the
cfg set
command. An example is shown here:
>cfg set radio.addr 1234
Setting radio.addr to 1234
When using
cfg set
commands you are only creating a planned change. The change will be saved and
activate only after
cfg save
is issued.
>cfg save
OK
NOTE
Failure to issue a “
cfg save
” will cause prior unsaved “
cfg set
” values to be lost or ignored.
When using
cfg set
it is important to use the same parameter syntax shown by
cfg get
and
cfg show
. For
example, in the case above, radio.addr is specified as a decimal number. Other radio attribute group
settings behave differently. For example, radio.mode is set by entering a quoted “m”, “x”, or “r” (for
master, extension, or remote, respectively). Failure to enter the quotes will cause the command to fail
with a syntax error.
>cfg set radio.mode m
Syntax error
>cfg set radio.mode "m"
Setting radio.mode to "m"
Settings are explained in greater detail in the sections that follow.
Radio settings
The Radio attribute group contains settings that control TransNEXT radio operation. Items under the
radio group typically use names similar to that of commands found in the GE MDS TransNET radio.
>cfg get radio
{
power: 30,
addr: 7552,
xaddr: 0,
hoptime: 7,
fec: "on",
retry: 0,
repeat: 3,
saf: "off",
xpri: 255,
xmap: 0x00000000,
skip: [8,1,0,0,0,0,0,0],
unit_addr: 4567,
mode: "m"
}
3.3.2.1 radio.power [10-30]
Power can range from 10 to 30 dBm. Default is 30dbm which is equal to 1 watt. In the USA total
Effective Isotropic Radiated Power must be <= 36dbm. This means that power must be turned down for
systems with antenna gain greater than 6db.
