Operation using Serial
Interface Commands
This section provides instructions on how to send commands to the
UDB-9000 Universal Deck Box and receive round trip travel times and status
information using the same command set and syntax as that used for the
DS-7000 Acoustic Deck Set. To perform this function, a serial port of a PC
must be connected to the COM2 serial port of the UDB-9000, and the PC
must be running a terminal program. Similarly, AT commands can be sent to
the UDB-9000 from a PC connected to COM1. The deck box must also be
set up and connected as described in Section 3, "Installation and Setup."
COM1 Serial Port Settings
Refer to the "Acoustic Telemetry Modems User's Manual" for the required
configuration of the COM1 serial port. In addition, the manual provides
descriptions of the AT commands and how to enter them.
COM2 Serial Port Settings
To communicate with the UDB-9000 over the COM2 serial port using the
DS-7000 command set, the serial port configuration of the device
communicating with the deck box, typically a PC, must match the serial port
configuration of COM2. For instructions on how to configure the COM2 serial
port, refer to "Configuring the Serial Ports" on page 4-12. When configuring
the COM2 serial port the operation mode must also be set to DS-7000 Deck
Box Emulation which is the default setting.
The default configuration of the COM2 serial port is as follows:
Baud rate:
Data bits:
Parity:
Stop bits:
Duplex:
