1.10 Diagnostics and
Remote Commands
Diagnostics and remote commands are
processed using the T96H Offline Diagnos-
tics software (OFLNDIAG). Diagnostics
can be monitored using the T96H Online
Diagnostics Monitor program (ONDMON).
The T-96H has the following diagnostic and
command features:
Online diagnostics. Information is auto-
matically sent by each unit at the begin-
ning of every transmission. May be dis-
abled for back compatibility with
T-Modem 96 or Motorola
DATARADIO
RNET 9600.
Offline diagnostics. Information is sent by a
specific unit in response to an inquiry
by the master or monitoring station.
Remote commands. Commands may be sent
by the master or monitoring station to
any specific remote unit.

1.10.1 Addressing

Each T-96H has addressing capability which
is used for diagnostics and remote com-
mands only. Two addresses are used:
ID Number: This value (maximum 1023) is
assigned at the factory but may be modi-
fied using the T96RSS. The ID Number
is used to uniquely identify the T-96H
for remote commands and offline diag-
nostics. The ID Number may have val-
ues within the range of 1 to 99,999,999
but multiples of 1024 should not be
used.
120 10503-201 PRELIMINARY
Short ID: This value is the low order 10 bits
of the ID Number. It is used to identify
online diagnostics only. It may not be
modified directly using the T96HRSS; it
is always derived from the ID Number.
All units within a network should have
unique Short ID numbers to avoid am-
biguity in Online Diagnostics reports.
Either the T96HRSS or OFLNDIAG may be
used to check the value of the Short ID.
When setting up a network, we recommend
checking each unit to make sure that there is
no duplication of Short ID numbers. Dupli-
cations may be resolved by changing the ID
Number.
If ID Numbers are set so that their value is
within the range of 1 to 1023, the ID Num-
ber and the Short ID will always have the
same value. Customers may find this to be a
convenience.

1.10.2 Online Diagnostics

Online diagnostics (statistics) require the
use of a network configuration such as that
specified in section 1.11.2. or 1.11.4 Online
diagnostics do not interfere with normal
network operation. The following informa-
tion is gathered:
•
Supply voltage
•
Internal temperature
•
Forward and reverse power in watts
(T96S models only)
•
Received signal strength in dBm
Each T-96H can accumulate these statistics
for the last 15 stations heard. The accumu-
lated values may be displayed using the
OFLNDIAG or dynamically monitored by
the Online Diagnostics Monitor program
(ONDMON).
