ID, select option 2 on the keypad after which a box will appear where you can enter the desired
Terminal ID. Enter one character for the Terminal ID.
RF Terminal Channel
Default Channel 0
• The terminal's radio operates by "frequency hopping" spread spectrum. The radios hop from one frequency to
another using a pseudo-random sequence. The radio goes through 26 different frequencies and then repeats
the sequence – all in the 902-928 MHz band at 250 milliwatts of power. Different sequences define the
channels. It is possible to have more than one RF Network in the same area, providing each RF Network is on
separate channels to avoid interference and general confusion.
• The default Channel is always shipped as 0. There are 6 channels in the USA. The Channel can be set by
pressing the 1 key when in the RF Configuration menu. Each time you press the 1 key the Channel will
increment through the 6 possible channels.
All Terminals, Base Stations and Relays in the RF Network must be set to the same channel. The channel is
always displayed on the Start Up screen when you power up the Terminal. It is possible to have more than one
RF Network in the same area, providing each RF Network is on separate channels to avoid interference and
general confusion.
Security Code
Security Code OFF
Available security codes 3 characters
• A Security Code can be utilized to minimize the possibility of a Base Station listening to data from a Terminal
that is talking to a different Base Station. A Security Code can also prevent interference from having many
Base Station/RF Terminal configurations in one area; i.e. a merchandise mart with multiple vendors all
running RF Terminal networks.
• A Security Code consists of 3 characters - any combination of ASCII 33 - ASCII 126. This allows for the
possibility of more than 830,000 different character combinations. The characters are entered using the bar
coded FULL ASCII MENU provided in Appendix O; ASCII Code Equivalent Table.
• Once you press 3 to enable the Security Code, you will see 3 boxes appear where you can enter the desired
security code. Pressing the CLEAR key will reset the Security Code to the default value which is OFF. You
can enter any key on the keypad. If you press the shift key the cursor will turn RED and you can enter any of
the shifted values on the keypad.
• You must also enter a matching security code into the the Base using the Hardware Utilities program.
To enter characters that are not on the keypad, use the FULL ASCII MENU provided in Appendix O.
Skip Opening Screens
OFF
Go to Two-Way (TWO WAY)
Go to One-Way (ONE WAY)
Many users want to skip the opening screens and go directly to TWO WAY or ONE WAY
communication once their programs are fully operational. Selecting TWO WAY or ONE WAY will
automatically take the operator to the corresponding mode and into your application, skipping the usual
Mode Menu. If you want to return to the Mode Menu at any time, simply press the F1 key.
