7. Launch the MDS Network Management application at the PC.
(Refer to the software user's manual for details.)

DLINK [xxxxx]

followed by the baud rate sets the baud rate (bps) of the diagnos-
DLINK
tics link. The following
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600
• 19200 (default setting)
Example: sets the RJ-11
DLINK 4800
The default is
DLINK 19200
NOTE: The same baud rate must be entered into the appropriate
field(s) of any Network Management Software, if used.

DTYPE [NODE/ROOT/GATE/PEER]

The command specifies the radio's operational characteristics for
DTYPE
network-wide diagnostics. There are four possible types of nodes in a
network-wide diagnostics system.
The common types are:
• –The most common setting, and the default. This is the
NODE
basic system radio device-type. Typically, the radio network is
comprised of nodes and one root. Intrusive diagnostics can orig-
inate from any node. However, non-intrusive diagnostics can
not be facilitated through a node.
• –Always one, and only one, per network. The root is the
ROOT
focal point of network-wide diagnostics information. Intrusive
diagnostics can originate from any radio, including the root.
However, the root is the only radio enabling non-intrusive diag-
nostics.
The default radio device-type is
• GATE
• PEER
These node types are needed for repeater sub-networks and simplex
sub-networks where simplex frequencies are used. See the Net-
work-Wide Diagnostics System Handbook for an explanation of these
node types.
