RT5900 SERIES Mobile Mount Radio Data Terminal

Advanced Setup

(Radio #)

This sub menu can be used to define parameters for communicating in a
multiple host environment. In the “Advanced Setup” menu (SST and OWL

only

), you designate the session to be modified in the following menus.

Note that all of the menu functions shown may not actually be available to
you: this depends upon whether or not multiple hosts exist, and whether or
not different data streams are supported.

The LAN ID range is 0--254 with the RM60/70 radios, and is 0--15 with
RM80/90 radios. The Radio Configuration option allows you to configure
RM60/70-equipped terminals for specific modes and frequencies.

Host A

The designator (“Host A”) will display “B or ”C”, etc., depending upon the
selection made in the previous menu.

With the first of these menus, you can designate the data stream

for this ses-

sion only

. You must specify the data stream for each different session.

The second of these menus allows you to specify the radio (“unit”) number
to be used

for this session only

. This number is specific to this host and ses-

sion type. If you create a second or third session, a different radio number
can be entered for each session.

The third menu displays the data stream previously selected for this particu-
lar session and the radio number designation. This menu allows you to des-
ignate the target host for this particular session.
