6.7 Query a Radio Remotely
A radio can be queried so that it reports its settings to the Configuration PC.
Radios may be queried remotely (through communication with the Master radio
cabled to the Configuration PC) or directly (page 59) (through a cable connected
to the Configuration PC) so that it reports its settings to the Configuration PC (If
necessary, check (page 12) the serial port settings to determine which COM port
is configured for the ControlScape network).
Revision information is available by querying radios through the Diagnostic
menu.
To remotely query a radio, cable the Master radio to the Configuration PC. From
the ControlScape Setup/Application Main Menu, select:
Diagnostic
o
Network / the network, by name (as shown)
From the Diagnostic Network Menu, select the Remote radio's icon, then:

configuration.
Serial #: the radio's serial number as programmed by the manufacturer.
Firmware: the version number of the software code embedded in the radio.
Hardware: the version number of the radio's hardware.
FPGA: the version number of the Field Programmable Gate Array logic in the
radio. This logic determines the hardware characteristics of the radio.
Baud rate: the baud rate of the radio's serial port as set during radio
configuration (page 40).
Channel: the channel (page 75) of the network of which the radio is a
component.
