9.4. TESTING FOR IEEE802.15.4 PARAMETERS

The software on PAN4570 as delivered is the >EmberTM Range Test Application 2.0< (Version 1. Oct. 2006) utility. It allows the basic RF transceiver testing including range testing.

The basic operation of EmberTM Range Test Application is as follows. Typing HELP and >return< on the terminal will display a complete list of commands, below the mostly used commands are explained.

e	exit, leaving the last funktion
channel x	channel entry, where
	x=b sets the lowest channel at 2405MHz
	x=12 sets a channel at 2440MHz
	x=1a sets the highest channel at 2480MHz
txtone	turns on an unmodulated carrier
txstream	turns on a continuously modulated carrier
transmit x	transmission of packets according to IEEE802.15.4
receive	reception of packets (requires another device set to transmit on the same
	channel)
	remark: for resetting the packet error counter to zero the transmitter has to
	be restarted
txpow	after RESET the maximum default Tx power of +3dBm is set.
	with
Txpowermode 1 0	the BOOST MODE with Tx higher output power and higher
	Rx sensitivity is enabled. BOOST MODE is only allowed
	for PAN4570 versions with pad or U.FL RF terminal.
	Hardware RESET or Txpowermode 0 0 returns the module
	to NORMAL MODE

All available commands are shown after typing HELP >return<., or as document on the CD.
