7.3.4.3. Set Communication Parameters
The first step before connecting to one of the radar
sensors is to set the serial communication port used
by the SSM-Rail application. Depending on the
computer being used it may be easiest to select
AutoDetect.
The Internet selection tab is used when there is an
Ethernet-based connection to the configuration
application. The Virtual selection tab is used for
simulating detections utilizing recorded emissions.
This is primarily used for training purposes of for Island
radar engineers to evaluate specific installation
behavior. Most users will utilize the RS-232 serial port
for configuring radar sensors.
1. Select the Serial Tab
2. Select the port being used by the SSM-Rail
application. AutoDetect may also be used on
some computers
1. Set the timeout parameter to 1000ms (nominal
setting)
7.3.4.4. Search the Radar Network for the Radar Sensor to be Configured
The Search control is used to discover and catalog all
radar sensors connected to a specific VDR24.
Sensors are then chosen individually for connection
and configuration.
1. When activating a system for the first time,
select Full as the search method. This allows
the SSM-Rail application to resolve any
address conflicts on its own when organizing
radar sensors connected to the VDR24.
Afterwards, the Quick search method may be
used.
2. Select Search to list radars connected to the
VDR24
