Teletronics WINC2400C - Manual (Page 12)

1. Baud Rate
2. Your choice of interface type on both WINC 2400Cs must match to the interface type of external
device.
3. Regarding the setting of Tx and Tx clock source, we prefer to choose INTERNAL on both selections.
4. Peer address on both units must cross indexed each other.
5. The choice of channel must be the same.
6. Our recommendation on SYNC protocol is “TRANSPARENT”.
7. The unit closes to the control center should be designated as “MASTER” unit. And, the remote unit
should be “SLAVE” unit.
8. Your choice on Air Preamble pattern must be the same on both units.
9. Your choice on Air Spreading Code pattern of both units must be the same.
Please note, the configuration process should be performed with one WINC 2400C at a time.
Otherwise, you might not be able to complete the configuration process before the connection process
between these two units. (Please refer to Appendix A for details)
After the configuration process, a wireless linkage between the local and remote WINC 2400C can be
established on the designated channel. However, if this channel is not performing properly, or if for some
other reason you wish to switch to another channel, you must make the changes on both WINC 2400Cs.
The change again has to be made from the PC or the termainal.
The actual procedure of configuration is performed by selecting alternatives from a series of menus via the
DB-9 configuration port. In this section the menu selection procedure is detailed.
The Main Menu is selected by issuing the AT command from the terminal connected to the
asynchronous port. On issuing this command, the main menu appears on the screen and contains seven
(7) alternative selections as follows:
(1) Change Active Operating Mode,
(2) Configure Synchronous Interface
(3) Configure Asynchronous Interface
(4) Configure Broadcast Interface
(5) Air Link Status,
(6) System Reset
(7) Exit.
(Please Note, option 3, Configure Asynchronous Interface, is not active in WINC 2400C, so just ignore
the option.)
Selections 1, 2, and 4 are crucial when you wish to change or modify either the synchronous, or broadcast
operation of the system. The Menu Selection Procedure in the following outlines the recommended
approach for configuring the system. As indicated, you must first determine which mode the system is in
before re-configuring. Once that is determined, it is a simple matter to follow the procedure as outlined.
Main Menu Selections
(1) Change Active Operating Mode:
This option is designed to change the operating mode from asynchronous to synchronous or vice
versa. Since the current WINC 2400C operates always at the synchronous mode, you should choose
option 1 to change to synchronous operation, if it is not already set that way. Then choose (7) Exit
to get back to the Main Menu. When in the Main Menu choose (6) to reset the system to the
operating mode chosen.
