Changing The Frequency Of The Radio - Toro Lynx SmartHub Installation And User Manual

Lynx® SmartHub Installation and User Guide

Changing the Frequency of the Radio

At the time of installation, your authorized Toro installer should configure
the radio to work properly. In the future, if it becomes necessary
to change the radio frequency, there are two ways to change radio
frequencies.
Radio installed in SmartHub
From the controller faceplate:
1. Press the Diagnostics button.
2. Scroll to Radio Frequencies.
3. Use the arrow keys and Control Dial to adjust radio frequencies as
needed.
4. Press Home when done to save settings.
Radio installed in FIU
You will need:
• Radio Manager software from Raveon
• USB to Serial (DB9) cable with included drivers
• 12V Phoenix power connector (from authorized Toro distributor)
• 12V power supply for radio (from authorized Toro distributor)
1. Disconnect all power to the FIU. Remove the radio.
Place it next to the Lynx computer on a static-free surface.
2. At the computer running Lynx, install the drivers for the
USB to Serial (DB9) cable. Reboot computer.
3. Plug USB cable into a USB port and Serial port on radio
(Figure 18).
4. Connect Phoenix power cable into 12V power supply.
Plug other end into DC IN port on radio (Figure 19).
5. Plug in 12V power supply.
6. Launch Radio Manager. See Figure 20.
7. Select appropriate COM port (Figure 20, A).
8. Change the baud rate to 1200 (Figure 20, B)
9. Press 'Discover Radio' button (Figure 20, C). The
computer should discover the radio (Figure 21).
10. To see current radio frequency, enter ATFX into the
command line (Figure 22).
11. To change the frequency, simply add an appropriate
frequency number to that command. Example: ATFX
460.5
UHF frequency range is from 450 to 470 MHz.
Frequency number specified must be between those
numbers.
12. Software will confirm the change (Figure 23). It is
possible to manually confirm the change by simply
typing in ATFX again.
13. Power down power supply and disconnect power line
and serial cable.
14. Install radio back into FIU.
15. The UHF frequencies of the two radios involved (one in the FIU, one
in the Lynx SmartHub) must match. Follow the above procedure with
the radio from the Lynx SmartHub to specify a matching frequency.
