RF Spread Spectrum Modem Option (PCM2 OPT18)
The RF Modem Option consists of a bi-directional 500 mW spread spectrum RF
data modem and cabling to connect the RF Modem to the PCM-2. The RF
Modem is powered by a 9 Vdc 500 rnA wall transformer type power supply
which is plugged into 115 Vac via the upper assembly power strip. Since the RF
modem operates within the FCC's guidelines for spread spectrum systems, it does
not require an FCC site license.
Before using the RF Modems for the first time, the RF modems must be properly
configured. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory so it is
not necessary to repeat this procedure. There is only one configuration for RF
Modems.
To configure an RF modem, plug the RF modem (using only the cable attached
directly to the RF modem) to a serial port on a PC and start a serial
communications program configured for 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1
stop bit. The standard PROCOMM works well for this task. Plug in the power
connector to the RF modem and press the small white button on the end of the RF
Modem. The following menu should be present on the PCs screen if the Terminal
program is properly configured.
