RFS 6000

Setup notes:

For the setup of the controller the user need
the program ‘SetupRFS’. This can be obtained
from the Opticon internet site or your local
dealer. The program is also available in
Opticon’s C-development kit for handheld
terminals.

Use this program to setup the RFS6000,
selecting free-running or X3.28 protocol, and
setting communication parameters.

You can also use SetupRFS to set the base
station address. For each RFS6000 in a group
of RF networks that are within receiving range
of one another, different base station
addresses should be set, to prevent undefined
behaviour caused by mutual interference.
The RF device must be setup using the
corresponding base station address of the
applicable station, so that it will communicate
only with the required RFS6000. To setup the
RF device, consult the manual of the software
as supplied with your RF device.

Setup sequence using ‘SetupRFS’:

Make sure no programs are running
(such as appload) that are using the COM
port to which the RFS 6000 is connected.
Start the SetupRFS program
In the "settings" menu, select the COM
port to which the RFS 6000 is connected.
Select the desired configuration.
Switch on the RFS6000, and while its
power LED is still flashing, press the
"store settings" button in the SetupRFS
window.
If an error message is shown, switch the
RFS6000 off and repeat the previous step.
