MultiFRAD 3000-Series User Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes the MultiFRAD software with the intent to show you how to make changes to the configuration of your MultiFRAD. The major configuration parameters were established during the loading of the software (Chapter 3), and the MultiFRAD software and configuration utilities allow you to make changes to that initial configuration.
The MultiFRAD software allows you to refine your configuration based on your network connections. The software is based on a main menu (MultiFRAD Configuration) that allows you to consider all the parameters for a particular feature (e.g., data ports and voice channels). These features, along with others are discussed in detail in the MultiFRAD Configuration section later in this chapter.
The other six configuration utilities offer additional functionality. Download User Defaults utility allows you download your default settings, configured during the loading of the software. If you have made changes to your configuration and wish to revert to the default setup, you can do so through this utility. Download Factory Defaults utility allows you to sequence through the software loading sequence and change any previous installation parameters. The Download Voice Coders utility allows you to download voice decoders which may also be necessary during repair or upgrade. The Configuration Port Setup utility allows you to change the method by which you access the MultiFRAD (i.e., direct connection of a PC to the Command Port on the MultiFRAD, or via your Internet connection to the LAN port on the MultiFRAD). Download Firmware allows you to download new versions of firmware when enhancements become available. The Uninstall MultiFRAD Configuration utility is designed to remove the software from your PC.
Your MultiFRAD software includes the MultiFRAD Help system. The Help menus define each button, option, field, and recommend values where applicable. The Help menus are a dynamic help system which provides information corresponding to the active dialog box.
