Federal Commander Digital System To change the current selection, point & click on the radio button; each time the radio button is pushed, the display will scroll through the possible options, one at a time. The following features are dependant on the Mode selection: PA (VOIP): Only available when Mode = Codespear or Modem DTMF and Duotone Encode: Only available when Mode = Modem Communication Port The Communication Port selection is available only for “SS2000” and “Modem” modes. This setup option determines which serial port on the SFCDWARE computer will be used to interface with the SS2000D or modem that is used to communicate with the RTUs. The possible options are COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. To change the current selection, point & click on the radio button; each time the radio button is pushed, the display will scroll through the possible options, one at a time. Front Porch Time The Front Porch Time selection is available only for “Modem” mode. Front Porch is the dead time between transceiver PTT (Push To Talk) and the start of data transmission (0 – 9999 ms). Number of Communication Retries This setup option determines how many times the CCU will try to contact an RTU before considering the communication attempt to be a Comm Fail. The CCU will wait between tries the number of seconds indicated by Retry Delay. Retires may be set to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3. To change the number of retries, point & click on the radio button. Each time the radio button is pushed, the display will rotate to the next higher number, up to a max. of 3, at which point the numbers will restart at 1. Retry Delay This setup option determines how many seconds to wait between attempts to contact an RTU. For Program commands 10 seconds will automatically be added to the retry delay. This will prevent the lengthy program command from causing a Com Fail. The format of this data entry field is from 1 to 99 seconds. To change the Retry Delay, highlight the current retry delay number and enter a new number. The setting of this parameter is dependent on the radio system infrastructure, however 10 is an optimum setting for most systems. CCU Address This setup option assigns the CCU site address. The valid address range is 900-909. Primary CCU sites are 900-904 and secondary CCU sites are 905-909. 101 System Setup
