Configuring the Base station…

After connecting the Base station to your serial port, you need to configure the serial settings on the Base station to match those required by your software. The default settings are:

•9600 baud

•No parity

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•“None” protocol setting

You may want to increase the baud rate for performance. If you want to change any or all of these settings, see Chapter 2 for details on configuring the Base station using the 700 RF Base Station Serial Configuration Utility.

Base station channel…

To determine what channel your Base station is set to, plug in the power supply and watch the LED light on the front of the Base station. The LED will blink “the channel + 3” times.

For example, the default channel is 0. On power up, the LED on a Base station set to channel 0 would blink 3 times. A Base station set to channel 5 would blink 8 times.

If this is the only Base station operating, leave the channel at 0. If you have

other Base stations in the area and need to change the channel, see Appendix A; Channel and Jumper Changes for details on how to open the

Base station and set the rotary switch inside to the desired channel.
