Using an External Program for Online Diagnostics
The Setup port communicates with the field programming software using a proprietary protocol. However, if a terminal, or
PC running terminal software is connected to the Setup port, online diagnostic information will be delivered in plain ASCII
format.
Initialization
When powered on, the Integra will attempt to establish a link with the field programming software. If RTS is not exerted on
the setup port, Integra-TR will immediately switch to ASCII mode.
Unit Type
This radio button selects unit type:
Remote - Select this option to designate the unit as a Remote station
Master - Select this option to designate the unit as a Master station
Station ID (CWID)
Station ID is used to set the Station ID (CWID) or FCC Call Sign for the system. It is sent out as Morse Code at predetermined
intervals. Station ID is a combination of letters (upper-case) and numbers (0 - 9) up to 9 characters in length.
CWID Interval
CWID Interval is used to set the interval of time the unit will transmit the Station ID (CWID) or FCC Call Sign. The range is 1
to 255 minutes in 1 minute intervals, with 0 being disabled. To enable the transmissions of the Station ID (CWID) or FCC Call
Sign, a non-zero value must be set for the CWID Interval. Only one unit in a system should be programmed to transmit the
Station ID (CWID), typically the Master.
Extended Preamble
This field extends transmitted synchronization time when the unit is used in a network with repeaters. The default is 5 mS
and the range is 0 to 100 mS in 5 mS intervals. Add 10 mS for each Repeater an Integra-TR communicates through in a
network (dependent on user's protocol).
Note: Units supplied or updated prior to November of 2001 use a default value of 0 mS for Extended Preamble. Extensive
testing has shown 5 mS to be the most robust setting. If timing is critical in your application, this value can be set back to 0
mS.
Suspend Period
Suspend Period allows the user to set the length of time the Integra-TR goes to cycled lower power mode. The range for
Suspend Period is from 50 to 12,000 mS in 50 mS intervals. Setting this range to a value of 0 disables Suspend Period.
Activity Timeout
Activity Timeout is used to set the minimum length of time the unit will remain awake in the presence of a carrier - range is
1 to 255 seconds in 1 second intervals. This field is active only if Suspend Period is enabled. A non-zero value must be set to
enable Suspend Period. The same Activity Timeout and Suspend Period values must be set for both Master and Remote
units. See Figure 17 for a Suspend Mode Timing graphic.
