8.8 Radio Configuration Dialog Box - FHE Radio
The Radio Configuration Dialog Box opens when you select a radio in the
Graphical Layout Screen (page 76), and then choose Properties. Use this dialog
box to view or modify the settings for a radio.

Radio Name: Identifies the radio in the Graphical Layout Screen. Type the
name (for example, Scanner, Radio 1, or Repeater) of the radio in this field.

Last Date Configured: The date and time reported here indicates:
o
The last time that the configuration parameters were modified and saved
o
The last time the radio was configured (page 40) (configuration data was
downloaded to the radio).

Last S/N Configured: This is the serial number of the radio being configured.
The information in this field is maintained by ControlScape and cannot be
modified. If this radio has never been configured as a part of this network, this
field will be blank.

Select radio: Click this button to select a radio to configure over the Ethernet
connection, or change the radio’s IP address.

IP Address: Enter the IP address for the radio in this field. This is the radio’s
identifier on the network. Each radio must have its own unique address to be
able to communicate to the master on the network. This address must be
different from any other device on the network including the Configuration
PC.

Subnet Mask: This defines the network ID and is typically set to
255.255.255.0. All Ethernet devices on a particular network should have the
Subnet Mask set to the same value.

Default Gateway: This defines the default network that the Configuration PC
will operate on. The gateway is the computer that routes the traffic from a
workstation to the outside network.

Port Number: Select the UDP port number to use for encapsulated serial
data transmission.

Serial Protocol: Some RLX models support a variety of serial protocol types.
Choose the protocol type from the dropdown list.

Baud Rate: Select the baud rate from the dropdown list. The baud rate on
the radio must match the baud rate on the connected serial device.

Parity: Select the parity (None, Even or Odd) from the dropdown list. The
parity on the radio must match the parity on the connected serial device.

Data Bits: Select the number of data bits (7 or 8) from the dropdown list. The
data bits on the radio must match the data bits on the connected serial
device.

Stop Bits: Select the number of stop bits (1 or 2) from the dropdown list. The
stop bits on the radio must match the stop bits on the connected serial
device.

Turn around time between packets (ms): The amount of time the Serial
Server waits to hear from an attached Modbus RTU slave before accepting
another Modbus TCP request. If the serial protocol is set to Modbus TCP/IP,
the radio acts as both a Modbus TCP Slave and a Modbus RTU Master. It
accepts requests from the Modbus TCP Master and then sends them out the
serial port as if it were a Modbus RTU Master.
