View Current Settings Screen—Serial-to-Serial Example
If you choose View Current Settings from the Serial Configuration Wizard Menu, you see a
summary menu showing the serial configuration settings. (This is the same screen that is also
shown at the end of the configuration process.) Here, you may choose the letter of an item to
change, or exit the Serial Configuration Wizard completely.
Selecting any item other than Commit Changes and Exit Wizard returns you to the
configuration process. After making the necessary change(s), you can use the Continue
Wizard selection repeatedly to reach the end of the configuration process, and then exit.

The following text explains the key settings for the Serial Configuration Menu (serial-to-serial
example).
▪ Port Status —This selection is used to enable or disable the serial data port for payload
data operation. Normally, COM1 is set to Disabled to permit console terminal operation.
When COM1 is enabled for data, management of the radio through COM1 is disabled.
This problem can be remedied by typing the escape sequence SHIFT + + + followed by
ENTER. This restores COM1 to console terminal mode. You must log in again.
▪ Mode —Set the method the host uses to connect to the radio.[Serial, Network; Network]
▪ Remote UnitID —Specify the Remote(s) that transmissions are directed to. Enter
“broadcast” to send transmissions to all Remotes, or enter the Unit ID number of a
particular Remote for unicast (directed) data. The Unit ID defaults to the last four digits of
the radio serial number, but can be set to any 32-bit integer. [Remote ID, Broadcast;
Broadcast]
▪ Remote COM Port —Choose which serial port on the Remote radios that all data are sent
through (COM1 or COM2). [COM1,COM2; COM2]
