The power cable (+V

and GND) must be connected to a power supply with a proper output

voltage and with a minimum output current of 1 A (with the SATELLINE-3AS Epic the required

output current of the power supply is 5A). The DTR–pin of the serial line connector must also be

connected to a positive voltage. Detailed installation instructions can be found in Chapter 10.

When creating a test connection, you can either use the SaTerm 3 terminal program, (available

for free from authorised SATEL dealers or directly from SATEL Customer Support) or

HyperTerminal (which is included in most the Windows™ based operating system packages), or

almost any other terminal program. Basic settings for the serial port of the host computer, when

using a terminal program to communicate with SATEL radio modems, are as follows: ”COM1,

19200 bps, 8-bit data, none parity, 1 stop bit”. If the serial port designated as COM1 in the

host computer is reserved, any other free serial port in the host computer can be used (with the

settings listed).

If the DTR-pin is not connected, the radio modem will remain in STAND-BY mode and will

therefore not send or receive any data.

Note: If you want to change the settings of a radio modem using the

Programming Mode

the radio modem with the help of an external terminal, the data speed of the terminal must

be 9600 bps.
