Changing The Frequency Of The Radio - Toro DEC-RS-1000-DR Installation And User Manual

Changing the Frequency of the Radio

At the time of installation, your authorized Toro installer should configure
the radio to work properly. In the future, if it becomes necessary to change
the radio frequency, you will need:
• Radio Manager software from Raveon
• USB to Serial (DB9) cable with included drivers
• 12V Phoenix power connector (from authorized Toro distributor)
• 12V power supply for radio (from authorized Toro distributor)
1. Disconnect all power to the FIU. Remove the radio. Place it next to the
Lynx computer on a static-free surface.
2. At the computer running Lynx, install the drivers for the USB to Serial
(DB9) cable. Reboot computer.
3. Plug USB cable into a USB port and Serial port on radio (Figure 5).
4. Connect Phoenix power cable into 12V power supply. Plug other end
into DC IN port on radio (Figure 6).
5. Plug in 12V power supply.
6. Launch Radio Manager. See Figure 7.
7. Select appropriate COM port (Figure 7, A).
8. Change the baud rate to 1200 (Figure 7, B)
9. Press 'Discover Radio' button (Figure 7, C). The
computer should discover the radio (Figure 8).
10. To see current radio frequency, enter ATFX into the
command line (Figure 9).
11. To change the frequency, simply add an appropriate
frequency number to that command. Example:
ATFX 460.5
UHF frequency range is from 450 to 470 MHz.
Frequency number specified must be between those
numbers.
12. Software will confirm the change (Figure 10). It is
possible to manually confirm the change by simply
typing in ATFX again.
13. Power down power supply and disconnect power line
and serial cable.
14. Install radio back into FIU.
15. The UHF frequencies of the two radios
involved (one in the FIU, one in the Remote
Gateway) must match. Follow the above
procedure with the radio from the Remote
Gateway to specify a matching frequency.
