3. Configuration
3.1 Overview
The Crescendo provides five user interfaces that allow the radio to be configured and its performance to be
monitored:
1. Cruise Control management interface: All radio configuration and diagnostics parameters can be
accessed using the Windows-based Cruise Control Graphical User Interface (GUI).
2. Terminal menu interface: A menu system is available on both of the Crescendo’s serial ports. This
menu interface can be accessed through any terminal emulation program, such as RFI InTerm,
which can be downloaded from http://www.rfinnovations.com.au.
3. AT command interface: The AT command interface can be used to configure the Crescendo
through ASCII Hayes attention commands. This can be used to read and adjust the Crescendo
configuration and read performance parameters.
4. Front panel interface: The front panel interface consists of six dual colour (red / green) LEDs and a
push button. This panel can display the radio status, RSSI, configured transmit power, temperature,
and serial port status.
5. Digital input interface: The digital input pins may be used to configure the currently active channel.
