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 .
--- This page shows transmit part parameters of the device. --- Meter reading --- The faults page. --- The device info page. --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
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. |
| externalLED | This enables or disables the LED on the chassis. |
| outputHighLimit | Output high power level threshold |
| outputLowLimit | Output low power level threshold |
| inputHighLimit | Input high power level threshold |
| inputLowLimit | Input low power level threshold |
| password | This is the passwort which is used for login |
| txPowerupDelay | Sets the delay for tx on at power up |
| txPowerupState | If set to 'OFF', the IBUC 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. |
Ethernet connection
If you want to use the TCP/IP M&C interface you have to configure the IP address of the IBUC first. Please refer to the Terrasat IBUC User Manual. The default Port is 23
