Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameter which must be set to make the software talk to the transceiver.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device driver uses the terminal protocol to talk with the transceiver, hence there is no device addressing. Leave this field empty. |
| attenuator | This defines the transmit attenuator in dB. |
| txPowerTresh | This defines the transmit power alarm threshold. |
| burstPowerTresh | This defines the burst power alarm threshold. |
| txAtPowerUp | If set to 'OFF', the transceiver starts with RF OFF when it is powered up. The 'LAST STATE' setting lets the transceiver return to the state when it was switched off |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the transceiver. The transceiver either expects 9600,N,8,1 when set to factory settings. |
Frequency ranges
The device driver automatically detects the frequency ranges accepted by the transceiver and forwards these limits to the software user interface.
Device reset
The RESET function provided with the 'Maintenance' page issues the following commands to the transceiver:
