The purpose of this section is to guide the user through the configuration
of the Base Radio in order to enable communications with the user's par-
ticular Modbus Protocol.
In order for the Base Radio to communicate with other devices, such as
the server computer, or an existing PLC/DCS system, they must share the
same Modbus Baud Rate.
To set the Modbus Baud Rate, first determine which rate your system re-
quires. If your system will allow any baud rate, we suggest you use the
fastest setting; however, some systems cannot handle these faster baud
rates due to external noise and transmission distance, so if you encounter
communication problems between the Base Radio and server computer or
existing system try a slower baud rate setting.
Once you have determined the Modbus Baud Rate you wish to use; follow
the Base Radio menu map shown in Figure 6.1 to configure the Baud Rate.
