4.24Radio Frequency (AT &F)
The Hermes is programmed with a factory set centre frequency that is the centre of the RF switching band. A new frequency can be entered directly within the ±99 channels of the centre frequency using this command. The channel number is
The radio frequency of the modem is set as follows:
| AT &F=nnn.nnnnnn<CR><LF> |
Where: | nnn.nnnnnn is the format of the input string for the |
| frequency in MHz |
Default: | none |
Read: | AT &F?<CR><LF> |
Read Return: | nnn.nnnnnn<CR><LF> |
Example: | AT &F=458.5<CR><LF> sets 458.5MHz |
| AT &F=458.500000<CR><LF> sets 458.5MHz |
Note that frequencies in multiples of either 12.5kHz or 10kHz only are acceptable. If a whole number of MHz is entered a “.” must be entered before the <CR><LF>.
If the frequency entered is outside the ±99 channels, or the frequency is invalid, the modem responds with the following error message and the entry is ignored:
ERROR<CR><LF>
4.25Save parameters (AT &W)
To permanently store any parameter changes, the parameters are saved in
AT &W<CR><LF>
4.26Restore defaults (AT &Y8)
To quickly check the operation of the modem, the factory settings can be loaded. If required the AT &W save command can be used to save the defaults. The command for this is:
AT &Y8<CR><LF>
