5. Set the radio's basic configuration with a PC terminal connected to the
DIAG
(nostics) connector via an RJ-11 to DB-9 adapter cable,
P/N 03-3246A01. (If necessary, a cable of this type may be constructed
using the information shown in
information on connecting a PC terminal and preparing it for use, refer to
Section 6.1 on Page
The three essential settings for the Transceiver are as follows:
Mode—Master, Remote, or Extension
Network Address—a unique number from 1 to 65000
Data Interface Parameters—bps, data bits, parity, stop bits
a. Set the Mode using the
(Extension) command. (Note: There can be only one Mas-
MODE X
ter radio in a system.)
If any
MODE X
on at the Master station. The
with an Extended Address (
radio must be programmed with an appropriate
MODE X
value. (See
XMAP
Page 52 for more information.)
MDS 05-2708A01, Rev. F
The radio must be used only with negative-ground sys-
tems. Make sure the polarity of the power source is cor-
rect. The unit is protected from reverse polarity by an
internal diode and fuse.
Figure 14. Power Connector
(Polarity: Left +, Right –)
The power connector used with the
transceiver is similar to that used by other MDS prod-
ucts, such as the MDS 9810 and MDS x710 family. The
connectors are not equal and the use of the other style
connector may provide unreliable connections and a
spark may be created.
Only the power connector, shown in
screw terminals and two retainer screws should be used
with this unit.
