Remote Diagnostics There are two methods of performing remote diagnostics basic diagnostics through the RAD Link software or more comprehensive diagnostics using AT commands in a Terminal program reading S registers The RAD Link software through the master radio allows a user to view and change all configuration data on a slave or repeater and in addition shows the RSSI power supply voltage and internal temperature By using the AT commands in a Terminal program a user can view all of the above informa tion and in addition access the following diagnostic information e Number of valid packets received e Number of corrupt packets received e Maximum number of retries data is transmitted e Turn on off a fixed frequency carrier for VSWR and power output tests 10 5 1 Remote Diagnostics using AT Commands Using a subset of the industry standard AT commands diagnostic information can be ob tained through the master radios secondary remote diagnostics port while data is passing through the primary port The network must have RF communications with all slaves 10 5 2 The Remote Diagnostics Port A On the RAD ISM 900 RS232 BD The mini DIN connector on the side B On the RAD ISM 900 DATA BD If you selected RS 232 as the primary port it will can be either RS 422 4 wire or RS 485 2 wire depending upon the position of internal DIP switch 2 Or if the RS 485 422 port is the primary then the RS 232 port is the remote diagno
