Receiver Frame Settings
Select a frame in the tree view
and click Settings to open a tabbed
view which groups frame settings by category.
Select a tab to view or change
settings.
Description
The frame may be given a description
which is helpful for identification purposes.
Controls:
Front
Panel
The behavior of the frame's
front panel user interface is managed here.
Controls:
- Front
Panel Locked - Check this to "lock" the front panel.
When locked settings may be viewed but not changed.
- Backlight
Brightness - Use this to choose a brightness level.
Network
The network interface is configured
here.
Controls:
- IP
Address - If
using a static IP address, enter it here in "dotted quad"
format. If DHCP is enabled, this is read only.
- Net
Mask - If using
a static IP address, enter the net mask here in "dotted quad"
format. If DHCP is enabled, this is read only.
- Default
GW - If using
a static IP address, enter the default gateway address here in "dotted
quad" format. If DHCP is enabled, this is read only.
- TCP
Port - This is
the Primary
TCP port number, an
integer in the range 0 - 65535. The Secondary
TCP port number is not
set directly - it is always the next number after the Primary TCP
port number. The defaults are 4080 for the Primary port and 4081 for
the Secondary port.
- MAC
Address - this
is the address of the device ethernet port, assigned at the factory.
It is read only.
- DHCP
Enable - Check
this to enable DHCP, which automatically assigns an IP address, Netmask
and Default Gateway address to the device. Uncheck this to use "static"
IP addressing.
RS232
The RS232 port baud rate can
be set here.
Note:
Wireless Designer operates on a fixed baud rate of 57600 for RS232
connections, so the frame must be set for that baud rate for connections
to succeed. If connected to the frame using the RS232 port, changing this
setting to any other baud rate will cause the connection to fail!
Controls:
Antenna
Power
Control the "phantom"
antenna power here. This is used to power active antennas and preamplifiers
connected to the antenna ports with coaxial cable.
Controls:
Tuning
Groups
Four user defined frequency
groups may be created here. These are called groups "U", "V",
"W" and "X". Each of these can contain up to 32 frequencies.
Columns:
- Index- Position in the group, maximum
number is 32.
- Enabled
- Check to enable the
frequency, uncheck to disable. If disabled the frequency will not
be available when tuning.
- Frequency
- Use the up/down buttons
to adjust the frequency of operation in 25kHz steps.
- Status
- The LED glows
green
if the frequency is
available in any of the receiver modules in the frame. If not, it
glows red
to warn that the frequency
is unusable with the current hardware configuration.
Tuning Groups are selected in
the channel settings. When
selected the frequency selection for the channel is limited to the frequencies
in the group.
Versions
A listing of the hardware components
in the receiver and the firmware programs installed in each. More than
one firmware program may be installed into a component, so the component
will be listed more than once.
Columns:
- Type
- Model number of frame
or installed receiver module.
- Index
- Channel number for
installed receiver modules, always 0 for the frame.
- HWID
- Hardware revision
level of frame or installed receiver module.
- Tag
- Identifies firmware
programs installed into frame or receiver module.
- FW
Installed - Identifies
version of firmware installed into frame or receiver module.
This information is used
by the Firmware Update Wizard to automatically determine which components
in a receiver need firmware updates, and which firmware versions to select
for each.
