5. Turn on your radio handset and make sure your remote site radio is
powered. Perform a test on the radio link – from the M:> prompt enter
“S”. The Vosponder should now speak the text with data it has received
from the datalogger. If this works, your program and the voice image are
correct and you have successfully completed the programming process.
6. Initiate a voice message from the datalogger through the Vosponder.
a. Enter <ESC> until you see the word Bye! on the screen.
b. Disconnect the serial cable from the Vosponder COM port.
c. Press the push-to-talk button on your radio handset and while holding
it down, key in the DTMF code and then let off the push-to-talk
button. If this works, you are ready to deploy the remote site.
If you have reached this point in the manual, then congratulations are in order.
You have successfully programmed and configured a Vosponder and
understand the basics of how to get voice data messages. You should now be
able to deploy your datalogger with the Vosponder to a remote site.
After deploying the system it is a good idea to initiate another voice message
test by keying in the DTMF code from your radio handset. Sometimes what
works in the office may have some issues in the field. A clear line of site is
critical for any RF telemetry application. If your remote site does not have this
either directly to your handset or through a repeater network, then you will
likely have difficulty getting voice messages from the remote site.
