Dkey; Dtype [Node/Root]; Fec [On, Off]; Hoptime [7, 28] - Microwave Data Systems MDS TransNET 900 Installation & Operation Manual

NOTE:
The DLINK rate must match the rate of any connected device to the diagnostic
port. This may be either another MDS radio's diagnostic port, InSite computer,
or another data link device that eventually connects to the InSite computer.

DKEY

Disables the transmitter when it is keyed. See also

DTYPE [NODE/ROOT]

The command specifies the radio's operational characteristics for
DTYPE
network-wide diagnostics. MDS TransNET 900 uses the following types:
• –The most common setting, and the default. This is the basic
NODE
system radio device-type. Typically, the radio network is comprised of
nodes and one root. Intrusive diagnostics can originate from any node.
However, non-intrusive diagnostics can only be conducted from the
root node.
• –Always one, and only one, per network (including units
ROOT
associated through Extension units.) The root is the focal point of
network-wide diagnostics information. Intrusive diagnostics can
originate from any radio, including the root. However, the root is the
only radio through which non-intrusive diagnostics can be conducted.

FEC [ON, OFF]

This command is used to view the FEC setting, or turn it on or off. The default
setting is
FEC ON
57,600 bps.) FEC is set at the master and is automatically passed on to all of
the remotes in a network.
Setting FEC to
ON
Typical SCADA/telemetry applications use low data rates and, as such, the
FEC setting is normally transparent to them.

HOPTIME [7, 28]

The command is used to set or display the hop-time setting. The
HOPTIME
command is a digit corresponding to the hop-time setting in milliseconds. The
default
HOPTIME
exceed 57,600 bps.
Changes to the
HOPTIME
is because the Master radio establishes the hop-time setting for the entire
network.) At remote radios, the hop-time setting may be read when the radio
is in synchronization with the master, but it may not be changed.

INIT

The command is used to reset the radio's operating parameters to the
INIT
factory defaults listed in
trying to resolve configuration problems that resulted from the entry of one
or more improper command settings. If you are unsure of which command
setting caused the problem, this command allows you to get back to a known
working state.
