For Systems with Maxon Radios
The VP satellite with Raveon radio requires a Field Interface Unit (FIU) with
a Raveon radio (P/N FIU-2011DR) to communicate. If your current system,
along with the FIUs, employs the (older) Maxon radios, the Raveon radio
must be put into "bell202" mode for successful communication.
Required Items:
• 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)
To put the Raveon radio into bell202 mode:
1. Disconnect all power to the controller. 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 1).
4. Connect Phoenix power cable into 12V power supply.
Plug other end into DC IN port on radio (Figure 2).
5. Plug in 12V power supply.
6. Launch Radio Manager. See Figure 3.
7. Select appropriate COM port (Figure 3, A).
8. Change the baud rate to 1200 (Figure 3, B)
9. Press 'Discover Radio' button (Figure 3, C).
The radio should be discoverd (Figure 4).
10. At the command line, issue the following commands
to the Raveon radio:
ATMT 4
ATR2 15
ATBP 1
ATIO 7
TXTOT 60
11. To exit a Raveon radio from bell202 mode
(to recommunicate with other Raveon radios,
for example), issue the following commands:
ATMT 0
ATR2 3
ATBP 0
ATIO 0
12. All interface board jumpers (both the satellite
and FIU) must be set to the left, to the 'VP'
side (see frame 1 on previous page).
