Manager, (available for free from authorised SATEL dealers or directly from SATEL Customer Support). Basic settings for the serial port of the host computer, when using a terminal program to communicate with SATEL radio modems, are as follows: “COM1, 9600 bps, 8-bit data, none parity, 1 stop bit”. -
Page 12: Serial Interface
The radio modem is referred to as DCE (Data Communication Equipment) whereas the PC or equivalent device is referred to as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). The SATELLINE-M3-R1 and - M3-T1 radio modules include a 15-pin ‘D’-type female connector, which contains all the connections required to establish communication between the radio modem, acting as the DCE, and the PC, acting as the DTE. -

The setting and/or using of non-approved power levels may lead to prosecution. SATEL and its distributors are not responsible for any illegal use of its radio equipment, and are not responsible in any way of any claims or penalties arising from the operation of its radio equipment in ways contradictory to local regulations and/or requirements and/or laws. -

4.3 Error correction The error correction mode is called the FEC-method (Forward Error Correction). When activated, the FEC-function will cause the SATELLINE-M3-R1 and -M3-T1 to automatically add additional error correction information, which increases the amount of transmitted data by 30 %. -

Page 18: Transparent Data Transmission
Version 3.3 6 TRANSPARENT DATA TRANSMISSION 6.1 Handshaking lines When using the serial interface, handshaking signals can be used to control data transfer on the DATA-port. For example, the radio modem can inform the DTE that the radio channel is busy and that it is not allowed to initiate transmission. -
Page 19: Pause Length
Version 3.3 2) Flow control The radio modem transmits data to the terminal device only when the RTS-line is active. An inactive state of the RTS-line will force the radio modem to buffer the received data. This option is used when the terminal device is too slow to handle data received from the radio modem. 3) Reception control The RTS-line controls the reception process of the radio modem. -
Page 20: Tx-Delay
Version 3.3 has stopped data transmission, it will take a moment for the radio modem to transmit the buffered data and switch the transmitter off. The maximum size of the transmit buffer memory is one kilobyte (1 kb). If the terminal device does not follow the status of the CTS-line and transmits too much data to the radio modem, the buffer will be cleared and the transmission restarted. -
Page 21: Addressing
In networks with repeaters, it is usually necessary to use addresses to prevent data messages from ending up in loops formed by repeaters. The SATELLINE-M3-R1 and -M3-T1 radio modules allow the use of individual addresses either for reception or for transmission respectively. - Page 22 Version 3.3 Transmission: Address Data Data Data Data Transmission address has been set OFF. Transmission addressing has been set Radio modem will transmit the data ON. The radio modem will add the packet as such. primary TX-address to the beginning of the data packet.

The base station may, in such a case, define the destination of a message by adding the address of the corresponding radio modem into the beginning of the data packet.

Page 25: Settings
The configuration of SATELLINE-M3-R1 and -M3-T1 radio modules can be easily changed simply by connecting the module to the PC and using SATEL Configuration Manager or DTE. Programming is done using the serial port of the module. The serial port settings are 9600 bps, N, 8,1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, no parity, character length 8 bits and one (1) stop bit). -

The RSSI Signal Threshold setting of the receiver determines the level that the modem operates properly. The number is shown as [–dBm], so the greater the number is the weaker is the signal threshold level (-100 dBm is weaker than -90 dBm).

Version 3.3 10 CHECKLIST The following points must be taken into account when installing and configuring a radio modem: 1. All operating voltages of all the equipment concerned must always be switched OFF before connecting the serial interface cable. 2. When considering the exact placement of a radio modem and/or its antenna, the following points must be taken into account to guarantee optimal results: o The antenna should be installed in open space as far as possible from any possible sources of interference... -
