Æ Configuration Æ System Type
There are two modes of operation when using CiLink:
Standalone
and
1:1
.
• Standalone – The standalone mode is typically selected
when CiLink is used with a single transceiver.
• 1:1 (One-for-One) – The 1:1 mode is selected when two
transceivers are used in a redundant system configuration
with a redundant controller box (RED box – see Figure 2-6
on page 2-3). This mode can allow the user to control the
online / offline transceiver through the RED box. Refer to
page 3-9 to review the
Redundancy Controller
control and
operating parameters.
When the
1:1
system is selected, the major difference in CiLink’s
functionality is the ability to select
XCVR1
or
XCVR2.
When
selecting
XCVR1
, the parameters and controls are displayed for
the first transceiver. Alternately, when
XCVR2
is selected, the
corresponding parameters and controls are displayed for the
second transceiver.
Select the desired System Type, then tap
[Set Data] to
save
the active system setup selection.
Otherwise, tap [ok] to
return
to the
Main Menu
from the
Configuration Æ System Type
screen.
The Redundancy Controller configuration mode
(Main Menu
Æ Configuration Æ Redundancy
Controller) is selectable only if CiLink has been
configured as a 1:1 system.
If a 1:1 System Type is selected in absence of a
redundant system (i.e., when a standalone unit
is connected to the handheld device), an error
message displays:
