[1] LOCK OUT KEY – For added security in environments
where other CellScale modems are operating on the
same network, a Lock Out Key can be set which will
prevent modems from communicating. The Lock Out
key must also match in the master CellScale Modem.
DO NOT change this number from 0 unless all modem
elements are also changed as this will cause severe com-
munications problems.
[2] 802.11 AVOIDANCE – The 9850s modem can be set
to minimize interference with 802.11b RF networks in
common use for computer networks. You must deter-
mine which band the 802.11b modem is operating on
and then select the corresponding band to avoid. The
second page also includes a setting making the cellscale
legal in France. The CellScale master must also have the
same setting. DO NOT change the setting in this menu
without corresponding changes in all CellScale devices
in the network.
[3] SCAN NETWORK – When On, this feature adds Net-
work address information to a current networks list. If
this 9850 is to be used on multiple networks, turn the
“Scan Network” “ON” every time you log onto another
network that you may want to go back to. Then using
the ADDRESS key (the ADDRESS F-key must be left
in its default function), you can quickly scroll through
all stored networks.
[4] RERANGING – This feature sets the interval in which the modem requests recomputation of the distance
compensation. The default is suitable for standard operation and usually should not be altered. If, however,
the distance the Master and the 9850 is going to change more than 1km while connected, the reranging time
should be set just shorter than the fastest this move can happen. For example, a fast moving vehicle approach-
ing the master at 60 miles per hour should rerange every 30 seconds.
The next line below Reranging gives a relative receive signal strength. This value reports the relative signal
strength averaged over the last 10 hops. Larger values indicate stronger signals. This display is not updated
in real time. You must exit this display and reenter to update the reading.
The next line indicates the RF Serial Number of the embedded modem.
