Operation and Programming Over the Serial Port
- The RLC-2's serial port gives the controller the ability to communicate with the world over a digital radio
link. The RLC-2 has a security key of 10 characters that must be entered properly in order to have the
RLC-2 communicate with your computer terminal. The syntax of the initial password is as follows:
[$$$$$$$$]
"[" is the first character entered
"]" is the last character entered
"$" is any ASCII character except the "[" or "]"
The default password is: [ABCDEFGH]
Once the proper password has been entered, the RLC-2 will respond with the message
"RLC-2 REPEATER AND LINK CONTROLLER: LOG ON"
If you did not receive this message after you logged on, then check:
- Are you already logged on
- Do you have the correct password, including CAPS
- Is your serial port connected, and configured correctly?
Once on the serial system, you have access to all features of the RLC-2, and several special commands only
for the serial user. A very important note, all commands entered over the serial port must begin with a
"[" and end with a "]" in order to be accepted.
Serial Command Structures:
- Upper Case Letters must be used, You must log on before any control can take place
- Lack of activity on the serial port will cause an automatic log off after 1 minute. This timer can be
programmed using the Timer program command. This command is "C067".
