Press <O> from any menu in the TRACER 4106/4206 VT100 menu structure to access the TRACER System Options menu page.

>TRACER SYSTEM OPTIONS > RX POWER

Displays the approximate receiver levels (for both the local and remote units) using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down in either direction, and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE displays in place of the symbols (#). This parameter is display only.

>TRACER SYSTEM OPTIONS > TX POWER

Allows the transmitter levels (for both the local and remote units) to be adjusted. The current transmitter level is displayed using a series of symbols (#). The more symbols (#) displayed, the stronger the signal. If the link is down in either direction, and remote end data is unavailable, DATA NOT AVAILABLE displays in place of the symbols (#).

Reducing the transmitter power of the remote TRACER 4106/4206 could cause the RF link to drop, requiring a technician to manually increase transmit power through the menu system at the remote site.

>TRACER SYSTEM OPTIONS > SITE NAME

Provides a user-defined alphanumeric description (up to 25 characters) for the TRACER 4106/4206 system.
