5. Repeat Steps 1–4 for any other AP units in your radio system.
NOTE: The Management System supports the use of “configuration
scripts” to aid in uniformly configuring multiple transceivers.
This time-saving technique is detailed in Using Configuration
Scripts, on Page 71.
AP Configuration Settings
Table 2-1 provides a listing of key AP operating parameters, their
default settings, and values or range. Typically, these are the only set-
tings that need to be set or reviewed for a basic check of the radio
system. A complete list of AP commands is provided on Page 23 in the
section titled AP Management.
2.4.2 Remote Unit Configuration
Once the Access Point is up and running, move the computer connection
to each of the Remote units to configure them for operation with the AP.
To configure the Remote radio, connect a PC to the unit’s
COM1 port
and establish a terminal session (i.e., HyperTerminal) using the fol-
lowing data parameters: 19200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit (8N1),
flow control disabled, VT100 emulation.
Figure 2-6 shows the basic setup for configuring a Remote with a per-
sonal computer.
